FO 3 ,

Awesome

I loved listening to this and hearing the whole story. Wish there were more interviews from the Army. I was there with the Army 2-2inf as the FO for 3rd platoon, FO3, with SSG Bellavia. Those were the most highly trained infantry men I’ve ever been with in my Army Career. “Terminator comin in! “. Best time of my life being attached to them. Ramrod for life.
