Ive got some bad news, Combat Gumby went MIA today in a flurry of
small children outside the Bazaar. Combat Gumby had accompanied me on
numerous combat patrols, and covered my six in several photo ops, and
was taken along with my pocket knife and almost my GPS, Watch, Multitool
(insert all other gear here), he gallantly gave his plastic for his
country. His service is in the highest keeping of Hasbro (Mattell?)
traditions.

Semper Combat Gumby
20 Jan 2012 - 5 Mar 2012
OEF Veteran, Rest in Peace
The
combat camera guy got some good pictures of me getting mauled by the
school kids, it was pretty funny, except for my stuff they stole. "HEY
YOU DANG KIDS!" {remember that Geico commercial with the old man on the tractor yelling at woodchucks? Our family has it's own inside joke of that...}

He leaves the country and the kids still love him! How sweet! We are praying for Paul everyday!
Good post Babe!
I need to note though, that Combat Gumbys full name is Semper/Combat Gumby, but his used name has generally been "Combat Gumby." But, properly translated he is in fact "always" Combat Gumby. RIP
I think Dad is redeploying a replacement... That would be cool.
so cool, got a good chuckle :)
Haha! I used to love gumby! Neat pic of paul too
