Perhaps as important, meet his wife! From ODs to ACUs, Vietnam to OIF 7-Jun-07 By Spc. Stephanie Homan MNC-I PAO BAGHDAD — “What were they called? BDUs? Yeah, I missed that entire era,” said Chief Warrant Officer George Grayhek, intelligence electronic warfare officer for 502nd Military Intelligence Battalion, 504th MI Brigade. “My wife said I could have two years in the sandbox with the Soldiers and I want the two years,” he said, but he knew it would not be easy. Grayhek, a Washington state native, first served in the Army from 1959 to 1979, then retired... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:19:40 -0600 No worries, Mike. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60989 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60989 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 13:34:30 -0600 Actually, I owe you all an apology. This wasn't the right venue for me to mouth off about the war. He is a very impressive man. For what it's worth and my other opinions aside, I hope he does what he's setting out to do and that in two years he returns safely. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60987 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60987 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 12:40:56 -0600 Actually, 'Pinto - the back office of this place is so hosed my webmonkey just sits in there drunk. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60982 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60982 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 08:15:31 -0600 sorry for the double post, the pop up server is lagging. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60979 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60979 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:45:26 -0600 I'm 31! I'm not a fraction of the man I was 7 years ago, and this guy can reach back almost 30 years, and find something that my self entitled ass can't see anymore? I'm on the edge of tears! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60977 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60977 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:41:23 -0600 I'm so glad my dad was a military guy. He'd have done the same if he'd have been able. After WW II, Korea, and Viet Nam, I guess he'd seen just about everything and was ready for anything. Scratch golfer, NRA sharpshooter: Best huntin' and fishin' buddy a kid could dream of. I'd say "they don't make 'em like that anymore" except, obviously, they still do. Thank God. Military guys kick ass. Forget about the taking names part. The ass kicking is enough. Then, they come home and make kick ass citizens. I love military guys. Even Jonah's. ;^) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60976 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60976 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:00:34 -0600 Mike - the post was about the Chief. It wasn't about the war, merely that the Chief stood up to the plate. Bob - we try to take a little, erm, *lighter* tone around here, while we take your point. Feel free to argue the points, but let's not poke fingers in eyes simply because we can. It keeps the place calmer. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60974 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60974 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 20:31:41 -0600 Mike M., your comment is a non sequitur, and furthermore contains a naked assertion that is not supportable. STFU. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60972 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60972 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:47:34 -0600 Thanks for the link. Now that I've seen his picture (it didn't load the first time I read it) on the linked page, I know that he is in fact the same George Grayhek. Wow! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60971 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60971 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 18:06:12 -0600 I used to work for a George Grayhek. I wonder if it's the same guy? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60970 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60970 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 17:34:42 -0600 Yes, he rocks. I hope he gets home safe. But, all the troops rock. That doesn't make the Iraq quagmire a good idea. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60969 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/06/someone_you_sho_1.html#comment-60969 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 17:22:51 -0600
