My Infantry Truth

Hello Space Cadets, how is everyone doing?  I’m pleased to give you all a peak into the life of an infantryman in a light infantry unit.  Hope you got a chuckle out of it as well!  And don’t worry, supply will still issue him his Kevlar vest and helmet to go with it!  And lest we forget, his weapon system!  Hey, what’s another 20 pounds among friends?

Light infantry they said. It will be easy

Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

                1. DON’T pack one and you’ll wish you did. And personally, I see the world as it is BECAUSE I’ve seen humanity at it worst. Every American or 1st World Citizen should have to see what a 3rd World alum looks like. It’s life altering.

  4. I mean that bag is okay, I suppose. Without molle straps on it where am I supposed to attach my external pouches? I need a place for my hair gel, cool-guy sunglasses, beard trimmers, and flip flops.
