What’s even more baffling is how I even became one, because I was always supposed to be a Mike. They wanted to reassign me, but the nearest units with 88Ls were too far away for me to reasonably travel for my ATs (especially for what I was paid as an E2), so they placed me operationally as an M, and figured they’d déclassé me at some point, though that never happened… my first AT, I had the “joy” of going to JRTC with a RA unit, my second had me supporting a ROTC function, and my final one had me driving FMTVs in Korea.
They liked to sit about 500 meters out and engage us from there. Apparently the M16s and M4a encountered difficulties at that range, but the M2 didn’t. Just kinda freaked me out a little when I’d see dents in the chicken plate afterwards.

I consider him to be one the Fathers of Modern Comics. Yes, I consider Jack Kirby and Stan Lee as Fathers of Modern Comics because they created comic characters and worlds in which millions of children could look up to heroes/heroines. Those children grew and still love their heroes/heroines.
