About mccool

Ok, First some history on me... I am one  of Tehachapis own, but that is probably evident. I joined the U.S. Army in 2004, as an Infantryman. My initial training was conducted at Ft. Benning, GA. From there I went on to be staioned at Ft. Polk, LA. in the 4th brigade of the 10th Mountain Division, 2nd Battalion 30th infantry regiment. I began my service in Charlie Company, "Commandoes" as we were called. I was lucky enough to stay in 2nd squad, 1st platoon for the majority of my time there. I have served as a rifleman, grenadier, and an automatic rifleman. Last year I deployed for the first time to Afghanistan, where I served for six months... After leaving that bitterly cold place, I returned to Fort Polk for seven months. During my time back I was sent to the scout/sniper section of my battalion, which is where I serve today as a senior scout observer. In November I deployed to Iraq, which I must say hasnt been as bad as I thought it would be.
