“Quit trying to church it up, Dirt.”

Haha, yes- I was in the 3rd US INF. But I was part of 2 specialty platoons within that specialized regiment. One serves in capacity as the guards of the Tomb of the Unknowns (which, I dunno, happens to be the most sacred shrine in the U.S.) in Arlington Nat’l Cemetery… and the second as the President’s official public military escort (responsible for him, the vice-pres, the secretaries of defense & state, each Chief of Staff, and their boss… the man who is REALLY the most powerful man in the world- the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff).

So no, I wasn’t hanging out with the President 24/7 like were buddy-buddy, but we worked with him a lot- in addition to all of those other political and military superstars.

And we actually ARE the unit responsible for responding to any terrorist activities in the Metropolitan area. Plenty of us were pulling bodies out of a burning Pentagon.

FYI I missed getting into Stanford, apparently by just a few applicants.

Sucks.
