I spent a lot of time with Mac, in the field, on deployment, and with-in the unit so I'm not likely to forget his mug! Does he still whistle when he talks? LOL! He took a drop in rank when he moved to 192 AEF from 6 Field...to Sargent from Sargent-Major. I think it kind of galled him at first but Mac soon realized that his new unit was a very active one and ended up glad that he moved. The fellow to his left looks familiar...is that you?
