Hey guys,
Thanks for the good e-mails. Even if some of the posts get rough, the e-mails are kickin.
This week I am at my desk quite a bit......finishing things up before I have to PCS to Bragg.
So I have a lot of time to post. Once I head of into "Greenie Beenie" land, I won't have the time.
I still will try to post a little bit, just to keep you guys up to speed, but no promisses.
Anyway, I have posted a few Bud/s stories. Now I want to tell you guys about "Operation Dominos Pizza"
We were slotted for a 3 week S/R and E/E course up at Ft. Lewis in Washington State. Pretty good deal all in all. A lot of good training took place.
On one of our recons we had split up into 3 man teams. We spead out and took positions in an effort to gather intel on a facility. On about our 4 day on that recon, my buddy asked me if we wanted some pizza. Me and the 3rd guy looked at him like, WTF?
He said, "seriously, I brought my cell phone and pre-programmed dominos number into it."
"plus I have $$$$$"
Dude!!!!! Hell yeah we want some hot pizza! Hook it up. Sure enough he got a signal on his cell, ordered some grub, and we waited. We weren't sure if this would all work out. After all we told the pizza dude to meet us at a given highway mile marker.
I am sure that this sounded strange, but maybe he thought that we were truckers or something, pulled over on the side of the road. What ever he thought, he didn't expect what he saw.
One dude stayed in the (LUP) lay-up-point and me and my buddy cruised out to the highway for our pizza. Now mind you we were all cammied up, weapons and all. We were on a recon, and had Rangers and Base police looking for us. A bit of a war game if you will. So we found the point we had told the pizza dude to come to, we had crossed in on our way into the area.
So we took cover and waited. We were tacticle, if we got compromised trying to score pizza, our chief would have our butts! Deciding the risk was worth it we waited, hidden in the tree line.
After a long time the pizza guy pulled up. He sat in his car for a bit, then got out and looked around. You could tell he thought he had been pranked. He picked up his cell and called his boss I think, anyway we came in on his 6. Almost right up on him, then I whispered, "hey"
he turned around and sh#$!!!! Dudes, I wish you could of seen his face. I'm sure we weren't his typical customer. We had a good laugh about his reaction, paid the man a good tip, then dissapeared into the tree line again. He stood there watching us fade away. Total disbilief.
Long story short, we hit the LUP and curled up with some fresh hot pizza. When we were done we stashed the boxes, successfully completing operation "dominos pizza"
