I used to live by gate 10 and the 159th flew over our house daily. Miss Ft Campbell.

I was in 3-101, 7-101, and 563rd of the 159th Brigade from 2004-2012 and completed 3 deployments during that time.

159th was my old brigade. I was really disappointed when I found out sequestration cost us the two brigades at Campbell. Do nothing Congress in action. As far as leaving the mechanics behind I'm not losing any sleep over that. A lot of them don't do shit on deployments anyways. I was a contractor supporting the 101st and 82nd in Afghanistan and we did most of the maintenance and at a faster rate than the soldiers. Most of the WW2 buildings on post had been torn down and replaced and I left there in 2007. So yes I think they are exaggerating a bit but they need to give the 101st back their brigades.
