My BIDS (Bio Integration Detection System) ! Being one of the first teams of its kind, taught us how to work together to identify and fix equipment that was made to protect ourselves and each other. We prepared the labs and ourselves for deployment. In doing so, trusting our hard work and understanding the responsibilities, requirements and putting trust in ourselves to carry out our missions. Since our teams didn't have a chance to deploy, we at least managed to help rewrite some of the manuals, and corrected items to improve the system and make it better for the next time it would be used.

I was an intelligence analyst, but I spent most of my career with infantry, artillery, tankers, and scout units. I fired lots of weapons during my career, but the M-16/ A-2 with a 203 attachment was the best. I carried a M-9 and M-16 both during deployments, but there is no way I was grabbing my 9 before My M-16. It was my lifeline, and I qualified expert everytime. I loved night fire and watching the tracers fly.

Nike anti-aircraft missile defense system. They could sure use them in Ukraine. And they were analog.

I miss the radios/comms units. I miss talking to my brothers and sisters. Some gone, some here but we lost touch. I miss the familiar voice on the other side. The support that came when it was requested. The reassurance that help was on the way. The jokes... the fart sounds... the brevity that lightened the mood when we were deep in our mission. I long to know the challenge and password to get back on the net with my brethren.

I miss working with the M4. I learned to appreciate shooting a rifle in the Marine Corps and I actually had a secondary MOS where I was able to teach others all aspects of the M4 or M16 and it was my favorite part of service. I also enjoyed shooting the Beretta M9, which is no longer used but it was what we had and it was fun teaching people that as well.
