So here is my opinion of Cav Scouts. I was an MP with the 16MP BN in Iraq in 2005. I got task with becoming an MP liaison with a field grade and a senior NCO to the 2nd Armored Calvary Regiment in Najaf. We were at Camp Duke in the middle of nowhere. I was not happy about being stuck with a bunch of Cav guys for the next 3 months.
Those guys were the most kick ass warriors I had ever seen. Every night was a firefight. Drones, Bradleys, Abrams, Specter Gun Ships. They took it to the enemy and they took it hard. I earned my Spurs with those guys. I am authorized to wear 5 combat patches. I only own one. The 2ACR. Cav Scouts were on the front lines of the 2ACR every night and they killed the enemy in bunches.

The ones we had at FOB Lima in 2005 were a bunch of soup sandwiches. How in the world do you manage to negligent discharge a frigging Bradley inside the FOB?

SSG Jason Bishop - Does this sign look familiar? Supposedly it was brought back from Iraq. I was going to make a picnic table out of it, but after sitting in my garage for many years I gave it to a former Iron Trooper. My son got it from a Major out at Ft. Lewis who was tired of lugging it around to different duty stations.

I love the little bastages. When I was rolling around in my Bradley as an 11M grunt, we would get comingled with the 19D's in their M3 Bradleys. The same equipment but with only one or two dismounts and twice the ammo load. To hear them called POG's was laughable. We got the CIB, they got the green weenie.

So, tell me, what does a 19D do that an 11M doesn't?
And vice versa.
I have never been given a straight answer.

Like SFC Neal I was scout all my life. I spent 20yrs as a scout with different units like Divisional Cav. Squadron being the eyes and ear of the division. Or Battalion scouts went to war with the 3rd ACR when they were in Ft Bliss. All that time from E-1 - E-7 I grew in my abilities. From having to depend on other people to learning how fix and improvise myself. It helped greatly in my great work ethics I have now. Like other people I found other Mos's I didn't care for but in the end we were all part of the same team. When it came to push and shove I knew we all would do our jobs. So in short go be a Scout and enjoy it I used to say we were the jack of all trades and master of none.
