Me on TV

I told you all a while back that I'd show up on the History Channel eventually. Well, eventually was apparently two days ago, and I missed it. One of my NCO's said he saw me taking notes while my brigade commander was issuing guidance to his staff. Guess I'll have to see if I can order a tape...

Yes, your claim to fame.

If anyone saw that piece, I was one of the soldiers wearing BDU's and camo paint on my face ...

Speaking of which, are you by any chance in Iraq as of the moment?

Got any specifics on what the show was on and when? I may have seen you but I'm not sure.

Was it "mail call", because I remember a piece about TOC with a bunch of Army officers sitting around taking note on a op order.

I will miss out on this one. The SBCT's aren't fully stood-up yet.

All I heard was that it was a couple of days ago on the History Channel It did take place in our BDE TOC, so you should have seen a SmartBoard with a map projected on it behind me, or a series of six stacked LCD screens. Again, I missed it.

Yup, 'mailcall'. They did a section on the TOC. Set up, breakdown, ect.. They also showed a few shots of a Col giving some sort of briefing with a bunch of Lt's and Cpt's sitting around in cammie paint, taking notes (only assuming it was some sort of op order). They also showed the staff working on various computers and showed the six paned central screen (mfd?) along with other pieces of gear.

Were you the one with glasses on durring the briefing?

Thats the only one that stuck out in my mind due to the rest were just a bunch of guy's in cammies and warpaint, except the Col, and I know you don't have a bird on your shoulder.

Has anyone else been on TV before?

I've been on:

You've Been Framed (funny home videos show) - I fell off my bike and got £250 for it. Score!

Match of the Day - At a Leeds Vs Newcastle match a few years back.

Did you say "Hi Ma!" when on camera?

I've never appeared on TV, but I did speak over the radio for a few secnods when I was in the 4th grade.

I was on TV when Chuck Gatica (weather man on local news) went to my school in 3rd grade. I was luckily standing in front, otherwise I would've been all but invisible behind the droves of people.

I've also been in Star Wars Insider! MWHAHAHAHA!

I was on TV for winning my grade 4 science project (forget which network), then again on french CBC on some after school TV show skit, then on english CBC for an intro for another after school program, and another time for some news program on "literature week" or something where they interviewed my high school class (which I always remember because the class 'cute' girl stands to say something, and my idiot friend 'scans' her up and down, all caught on TV... he'll never live that down

)

That's about it I think. Doesn't exactly count for my 15 minutes of fame, still waiting on that.

I think I was shown making a funny face on News12 once.

Yeah, I saw that on Mailcall, though I'd need to see it again to pick you out.

I saw that episode. Hehe, I was jokingly thinking to myself, one of those guys could be Jegs2. I only half remembered you said you were on tv. I would have to see it again though to pick you out.
