In part 2, we swap Bill Groves stories that still feel like yesterday even years later, from a tank round snapping past our position to the summer shift when enemy fire gets sharp and accurate. We also talk about the weird day-to-day details that stick, how unit handoffs can fail, and why the bonds from that time still don’t fade. 

• getting shot at by an Abrams
• the bridge guard post mess and rumors that spiral fast 
• getting put on hard labor
• hooch life stories, dumb injuries, and the stuff we did to pass time 
• the heat
• firefights in the south and the shift to more accurate enemy shooting 
• faith arguments in the truck and “no atheists in a foxhole” 
• Junction City stories 
• the 2/5 handoff 
• coming home 
• drones, contractors, and finding insurgent propaganda videos 
• looking back 22 years later and what the brotherhood means now
