  I just received confirmation that I will lead 10th Mountain Division's first ever UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platoon.
Which is exactly what I wanted...reference an earlier post when I was pulling every string I had available to get this platoon. Remember last year in the news when a little spy plane in Yemen launched a Hellfire missile into a truckload of terrorists, effectively rendering them dead as dogshit?
That was a Predator UAV. I think we're getting Hunter, a slightly smaller version, but same idea...little remote-controlled drone flying around with a high-powered camera, spying on bad guys. Great shit. They're building the facilities out at the airfield now...so I get a new office, the soldiers have started showing up one by one, and the UAV's themselves will follow eventually. Rachel sent me a box of Mardi Gras goodies. The S-2 section is now decked out in purple, green, and gold.
