My step-son was hell-bent on going to that exact Alaska Stryker Brigade.
Was going to basic training in September, 2003., Ft Benning, then north to Alaska. His mom and I are married. We went up there, Wisconsin, my wife's place of origin, met up with all his other kin folk plus his fiancee for a goodbye be all you can be send off party. I remember getting plastered on draft Miller beer and playing vollyball drunk.
As it turned out, Brad never went, because he got busted for selling cocaine. It was a blessing. He did some time in a work-release program for for a year and now is a convicted civilian. Now he digs on NASCAR.
His dad's brother, a career ANG lifer, advised him agin it as well. He was locked in, could not retire, finally did so, sucking off Uncle Sam for a pension.
As for me, I did 4 years of AFROTC at Michigen. In pilot training, a half-year after Dumbya, I went to a meeting of the AFSC ( Quakers) in ole San Antone. I met some dudes who were drafted as IA-O conscientious objectors and were training as medics. They were mere buck privates, but their sense of bravado was impressive, giving me great insight into the illusion of greater intelligence with officer's rank. My pilot schoolmates were straight as hell, except for big John O'Toole. They called him "Bomber." He had a slot in the Massassiaccuchits ANG. a reward for his two year Peace Corps service in Lesotho. He's the one who toook me to the Friends' meeting in Sa Antone/
I saw him the next year, after I came back from Vietnam, where I flew cargo planes, and was pissed. We tripped on acid up in New Hampshire. I had declared CO and refused duty flying tankers.
