I am a Company Fire Support Sergeant formerly stationed with 1st Brigade, 2D Infantry Division in Korea, these days I am at Ft Lewis, Washington with the 3rd Brigade of the same Division. No, I am not a Fireman, what I do is plan for the use of all Fire Support means available (Artillery, Mortars, Attack Helicopters, Close Air Support, and Naval Gunfire) and see that these fires are synchronized with the movement of the Infantry Company I support. People who do what I do are known as FIST (FIre Support Team). Recently I re-enlisted into the reserve and became a member of the 361st PsyOps (Tactical) Company. My new MOS will be 37F, Psychological Operations Sergeant. I am looking forward to the transition.

This picture was taken at an Objective Rally Point and was featured in an on-line military modeling magazine. The article was about "weathering" vehicles to make them look more real.
