In many ways, being on a Transition Team is more like being in the old Texas Rangers than being in the modern Army. I've come to see myself as a diplomat with a gun as much as a Soldier. During this tour our team has conducted the full spectrum of operations Civil Affairs, Advising, Manuever, Fires and Effects, Intel, C2, Logisitics, even Law enforcement. In some ways it is our own private fight. I shouldn't say that but it feels like it when other US Forces are hours away. When your away from the rules and the saftey net of the FOB it really is the frontier. How can I ever go back to the regular Army after an adventure like this?
