(he was there near the front where the Iraqis were kicking ISIS out of Mosul) He is an 82nd airborne combat engineer. He jumps from airplanes or repels from helicopters with a 70 pound pack on his back. His girlfriend was with him and I asked what she did and she "Same thing as him, I am a paratrooper and airborne combat engineer also" I congratulated them both.
