Carved an Eagle for a Corpsman I served with in Afghanistan in 2005, Doc G. He has to be the funniest corpsman in the corps!
I first met him on a convoy. We reached our destination and dismounted I saw him laughing and asked what is going on? He pulled out an officers rifle that the barrel was so bent it could shoot around corners! The officer he was driving with had the muzzle sticking out of the humviee and a passing local jingle truck caught it and bent it. He was laughing so hard I couldn’t help but laugh! well one of many a funny stories, thanks Doc!
