10th Mountain Division Soldier awarded Soldier's Medal

[Steckdose200]

like most firefighters ...

[gangstastyle55]

@Steckdose200 Yea, but he didnt have the suit that firemen have, nor the gloves. He had a kevlar a cap, and a rifle. He ran in there and did his job and then some. And like he said, it was a good deed.

SGT Perkins makes me proud to be from 10thyou mountain ... I can only hope that given the same situation, I would have acted the same as he did that day. Good job SGT perkins.

[aggiesoldier]

so these soldiers will go into a burning bus to grab civilians but wouldnt leave the FOB to pick up my dead soldiers!!!!

[HghCee]

@aggiesoldier  What????

[aggiesoldier]

@HghCee Just what i said. I had a friend KIA and those A-holes wouldnt fly to go pick him up, he was in the back of the RG for hours

[djdeimos1]

@aggiesoldier if theyre dead then its a casevac, you self evac. u just get into country?

[aggiesoldier]

@djdeimos1 that is a negative you do not...or unless the battle space owner had his own set a rules but all the other heroes we had 3rd ID was out there in a heart beat to pick them up. No ive been home for a few months now....hate 10th Mountain, everytime i see the patch i cringe

[djdeimos1]

@aggiesoldier hmm. didnt know that. thats pretty shitty. 3rd id is usually pretty squared away. sorry to hear about your experience

[3rdID8487]

@aggiesoldier Good to hear that 3rd ID is still taking care of things like that. We used to pride ourselves on being a fellow soldiers best freind, field or out in the crap. Thanks for letting me knwo they are still being able to be counted on.

[aggiesoldier]

@3rdID8487 yeah it 4-3 aviation out of georgia. some amazing people in that unit!

This is what is meant by the saying 'the best of the best', or, 'they don't come any better than this'. What a humble gentleman to go with it.

Much respect Sergeant .
