So from Knox I did a year tour in Korea with the understanding I would pick the post I went to coming home, and I wanted to go back to Fort Knox. So I was about two months from leaving Korea, and Branch called me and they said, “Hey you’re not going to fit into the deployment schedule there at Knox, you’re going to have to pick another duty station.” So we ended up going back to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. When I got there we deployed to Afghanistan. I was a platoon sergeant, at the time, of Bravo troop 1st platoon, 3-73 CAV. We called ourselves the ‘Outcast’ platoon.
