It takes a lot to suprise me at this point but lo and behold...One of the Infantry Battalions that I work closely with is the 36th. I get a text this morning telling me that the EXO, or 2nd in charge of the 36th, was popped at 2AM earlier this morning. Some guy got kidnapped on Monday and this asshole was part of a family operation. They had gone to pick up P5 million (about 110K American).
The police in Cagayan del Oro City, joined by the police from the victim's hometown, Marawi City, rolled up on the fool. He was in his Mitsubishi sedan, with two cousins, and a corporal riding a Honda XRM, a motorcycle. As the police motioned for the Major to pull over he guns the engine and both cousins pull 45s, began shooting at the police as they speed down Masterson Avenue, this major thoroughfare outside Camp Evangelista, the 4ID Headquarters where this guy lived in the Officer Quarters.
The Major pulled over in front of S and M, a mall, and ended up wounded in the firefight, as did one cousin. His CO, a guy I'm friendly with, Lieutenant Canete, goes to the police station and asshole says he just wanted to treat his cousins to burgers but then they all decided they had a hankering for pizza instead, hence their being at S and M, which is about the only place to get a decent slice here abouts. In his off time he directs the 4ID Band and plays the trombone.
I don't know why militaries dig brass bands. My brigade, NACHAL- usually mistransliterated as "Nahal" in English- is famous in Israel. They forced me to learn to play the Bass Clef Baritone Horn. Our scale is the same as the trombone...Go figure. As soon as I made NCO at age 17 I kissed that semi-retarded shit goodbye.
A big giant brass fart but the IDF takes that shit seriously- or used to. Ahhh young people have no idea how easy they have it hahaha.
