About Me

I was born and raised on the west side of Michigan in a town called Holland. I joined the United States Army in early 2008 where I attended Basic training and OCUT to become a Infantry Rifleman. After joining the Army I deployed to and stationed in Camp libery, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 2008-2009. After returning from the war I returned to Fort Benning, GA where I attended with 5 week long Sniper school and was award my certificate and sniper tab(which i wear proudly under my flap of my ACU uniform till this day. Shortly after attending sniper school I was sent to the promotion board and eventually was given the rank and title of Sergeant Posted Image

. I'm currently deployed in support of Operation New Dawn which has taken over OIF. I Am Married to my best friend and the most beautiful women of my dreams for over a year now and she has stuck with me through both deployements. Lets not forget that shes had to put up with me since middle school where we started off as best friends Posted Image

. I was born and raised a all detroit team fan, but after the age of 10 i was in ah of the detroit red wings when they won the back to back stanley cups in 97-98. Till this day hockey is in my blood and my favorite sport. The way i was raised was if the hockey games on and the wings are on, the football game gets shut off to watch the glorious winged wheel hand out ass whoopens. Which like I said i was born and its in my head that theres only one sport (HOCKEY) so after joining the service and 99% of the guys I'm around are all about football or basketball I was still confused and till this day I don't understand. LOL. For the rest of my days the red wings, Hockeytown, and the entire game of Hockey will have a place in my heart and will the be number one sport to be turned on in my house just as I was raised..... GOOOO RED WINGS

My Life In Iraq.....

27 April 2011 - 03:20 PM

Hi, I'm SGT Ryan Bessey(flying/wing/n'Iraq), I made this post due to that I'm new to this forum, and already people are asking me about pictures and things in Iraq... So with that said I hope over the next few days WHEN I CAN post new pictures and tell my story and road in the army and many things I experienced that it can be a way to crack the ice for being the new guy and give you all some insight in my daily life over here in the "SAND BOX". By no means am I a story teller. Shoot I can barely use proper grammar, right in complete sentences. Heck I've barely read a book or story let a lone wrote one. So please bare with me. If you could care less about more story then thanks for stopping in. however, if your interest then I hope you enjoy it. Like I said it will be a slow and painful process of updating due to the fact that I personally do not have the luxury of being on the internet when I feel like it. Thanks and happy reading.

(Be advised, some vulgar language is used in telling this story,it is all intended for expressing how the army is) Once again thanks.

new to the forum, some one guide me to the rules?

Just like to take a few seconds of your time, and say hello to everyone on this forum. I'm Ryan out of Holland, MI, Currently on my 2nd tour in Iraq. I just happened to stumble across this awesome wings forum. I'm by no means going to sit here and blow smoke up your behind and say I'm the BIGGEST wings fan because thats a lie. However I am defiantly a hudge fan and in other words i love the wings just as much as the BIGGEST fan does but why i say that is theres someone out there with more wings gear or merchandise than me, hahaha. I was able to catch a wings game on my two weeks of leave for the first time in 3 years since joining the army. To bad they lost in a shootout to the AV's but it was just an amazing feeling to get back into the joe and be in the atmosphere again after being out for so long.

Now on to my topic, I've been on many forums before and I'm guessing theres a rule post somewhere on here. With that said I'm more than likely breaking a rule as we speak for posting in the wrong section. I would like to know if there's someone that can point me in the right direction.. Thanks Posted Image

also I hope to be able to get some sweet picks with my wings gear over here and share my experience with you all. We might not be able to play much ice hockey but we still hold the fort down with a little ball n stick game lmfao.
