Uniform Encounters: It's Never Too Early to Prepare for the Navy Barbecue...

Okay, so this isn't an Army dude hunting for goats in prep for next year's Army-Navy game barbecue. But it could be. Sort of.


Actually, this is Staff Sgt. Jonathon Price on patrol near the village of Narizah in Afghanistan's Tani district. Price is a squad leader assigned to the 501st Infantry Division's Company B, 1st Battalion Airborne.

To be precise, he *is* an Army dude -- he just isn't goat-hunting.

Right now, anyway...

Given recent results, odds are he can't play football either.

*tsk*

And here I was planning to invite Stu to the BBQ.

Stu said...

I find it hard to pass up any opportunity to be a smart ass.

BillT said...

I dunno, Stu. My hunch is that if you were to stick him, as is, on the 24-yard line and tuck a football into his ruck, then promise him a *real* beer for every yard he gained, in 10 seconds there'd be 11 broken middies scattered about and he'd be standing in the end zone, waiting for his case of brew...

Well, then, Stu, you are among your peers.

Such a harmonious compound we have, here...

You're absolutely right. Even 10 years ago woulda been good!
