Military Ring Info

When I think about the time that I spent in the military the thing that I miss the most was the teamwork. There is such a feeling of satisfaction that a military leader gets when his troops work together to pull off an operation.

Each man has a specific job to do and each job contributes to the mission. If one of them fails the fate of the others will be in jeopardy. Thats the way that military teamwork goes. All of our military ring customers know how to operate as a team.

Sometimes a custom military ring customer will wind up with a group of individuals that he or she has never seen before but each one will know their individual job. they will instantly meld together and perform as a team because they are used to operating as a team.

If I consider all of the things that I miss from my time in the military the teamwork will have to top the list. Military teamwork, (as all of my military ring customers know) can’t be duplicated in the civilian world.

Do you remember the 5 Americans who were captured in Pakistan recently? One of them left a farewell video for his family as he didn’t expect to return home alive. They didn’t get an opportunity to commit any deeds before they were captured with incrimminating evidence on them.

The five claim that they have been tortured at the hands of the Pakistanis and shocked with electric prods. Now my venerable military ring customers I’m not saying that they were not tortured because I wasn’t there. But sometimes there is a price to doing business. What I am saying O custom military ring customer of mine is that you pay the cost to be the boss. If you can’t take it don’t dish it out.

When I think of this war on terror, I think about the thousands of innocents killed by terrorists. I think of the people who I saw beheaded on TV. I think about the innocents that the Taliban is using for shields. Then I think so what is a little torture compared to all of that? Now I will not tell you that my thinking is right on this one because its not, but its just thought and not action. I may say some things that are kind of out there but I don’t really advocate torture.

Let me say it to you like this my beloved military ring customers. If you decide to play the game, don’t get upset when the game decides to play you.   

The term Final Protective Fire really means exactly what it says. It is used by combat arms units conducting defensive operations. This is a term that you do not want to hear during combat because if you do you are in some serious trouble.

Normally you will fire the FPF when you are being overrun. When you fire the FPF you shot everything that you have left as fast as you can. Infantry ring customers know this term very well. When the Field Artillery Observer sees that his infantry is  being overrun he will call the artillery and ask them to fire the FPF.

The Field Artillery Fire Direction Officer has the FPF plotted as a line on the ground. He knows that the line is very close to the friendly infantry ring customers so he has the Fire Direction Center to give the guns the command to “Use Gunner’s Quadrant.” Each gun chief knows to use the gunner’s quadrant which is a precision instrument. This insures extra accuracy so that no friendly troops are hurt by friendly artillery. The artillery military ring customers know that they need to fire everything that they have as fast as they can to help out their infantry brothers.

I came up with the idea of doing this post this morning after I ran into one of my customers from waaay back. Sergeant Major Kaiser came to me after he had returned from the first Operation Iraqi Freedom to have a military ring made. He, his wife, and I worked on the custom military ring for awhile and I got to know them during the process of us putting it together. He needed his custom military ring to be his military retirement ring also because he was in the process of putting in his retirement papers.

We worked until we got him exactly what he wanted and his wife presented it to him at his retirement that next month. That was back in 2001 if I remember correctly. I just happened to run into him this morning at a convenience store and asked him how the ring was holding up. I was happy as a lark when I found out that his ring was just fine. He had no complaints whatsoever. Now my beloved military ring customers that is what I’m talking about.

This is a true story. We want you to rest assured that when you get your ring from us you will never have a problem that we can’t resolve.

This post is dedicated to our Special Operations ring customers and is designed to give the rest of us just a little bit of insight into what you have to go through that the world never hears about. We can’t speak of anything other than some of the difficulties that we know that you have to face on a constant basis.

I was a Field Artillery soldier and I went through some frustrating times so I know that you do also. Even much more so than I did because your job is many times more difficult than mine was.

To the rest of our custom military ring customers this is what the term Operation Enduring Frustration means: It refers to all of the last minute changes that come that absolutely disrupt everything than you had planned to do. It refers to the impossible number of tasks that you have to accomplish in an impossible amount of time. It refers to the last minute change that throws all of your rehearsals out of the window. Now you have to execute without the benefit of a rehearsal.

It refers to all of the equipment that you don’t have, or to the equipment which you can’t seem to be able to get fixed. It speaks of having to work in a cold weather environment without cold weather equipment. It speaks to my Special Forces, Rangers, Delta Force, and Navy SEAL (and others) military ring customers of finding out that you have a follow on mission which requires you to spend two more weeks in the field when you ran out of food and water yesterday.

It speaks of the emergency that you have right now at this minute that you can’t tell anyone about because you communications equipment won’t work.

In a sense this operation applies to all of our military ring customers everywhere. We all have gone through these situations from time to time and we all know how Murphy’s Law operates. This is another post of support to all of our troops.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar who was the Taliban’s top military leader has been captured in Karachi Pakistan. According to our source he was captured about ten days ago and is cooperating with his interrogators. Does it seem strange to you that he was captured ten days ago and we are just finding out about it? Its not a strange thing O military ring customer. I will explain the reason why. If he is cooperating our military definitely didn’t want the enemy to know until it could act on the information thet it received. If the intelligence was good it has helped the war effort tremendously. 

Also notice O military ring customer of mine that they don’t give any details of the capture. Well it smells just like a mission which was pulled off by our Spec Ops military ring customers. We may never know how it was done and our Special Operations military ring customers for sure won’t tell so lets just be grateful for their service.

This capture is very significant because Mr. Barader coordinated all of the Taliban’s military movements. So in other words if he is talking we have all of their military plans. Now personally I don’t think that it is a coincidence that he was captured right at the start of the operation. Had he been taken earlier the Taliban would have had time to react and change their plans. Our military ring customers in Afghanistan took him at the most inconvenient time for the Taliban. Thank you for a job well done.

This operation is centered around the town of Marjah in Afghanistan is the beginning of the NATO offensive to retake Afghanistan and to restore order. This operation includes American troops, Afghan soldiers, and NATO troops.

So far there have been no coalition casualties but about 20 insurgents have been killed and 11 have been captured. The Taliban seems to be retreating into the city for the most part but allied forces have met some stiff resistance and as far as I know resistance is continuing in several areas.

The biggest problem that our military ring customers have been facing is an extensive network of mines and booby traps that the retreating Taliban has left behind. The traps have made progress slow and deliberate but have caused no casualties so far.

The Taliban has known to expect the attack for a while so they have had plenty of time to set up traps and to shore up their defense of the city.

The control of Marjah is critical because the city has been a hub for many of the Taliban’s activities to include logistics and the drug trade. We wish all of our custom military ring customers well who are involved with this attack.

Operation Enduring Seperation has been an ongoing operation which effects every branch of the Armed Forces and touches every family member regardless of age, race, sex, religion, or ethnicity.

Operation Enduring Seperation touches each and every one of my military ring customers, whether they are Army ring customers, Navy ring customers, Air Force ring customers, Marine ring customers, Coast Guard ring customers, etc. It doesn’t matter if they are Navy SEAL ring, customers, Special Forces ring customers, Delta Force, Army Rangers, Force Recon or what have you.

Operation Enduring Seperation speaks for the time when troops are seperated from their loved ones while discharging their sworn duties to their country. It speaks for the time that they have spent sleeping on the ground on top of ice and snow. It speaks for each and every wet and miserable experience that they have ever gone through while serving their country. It speaks for the times they have been caught in dust storms, rainstorms, blizzards, and heat waves.

This operation speaks especially for the times that they have been seperated from their husbands, wives, and children for months at a time. It speaks of the father of that new born who is now a year old and doesn’t even recognize him when he sees him.

It speaks for the mother who has just been moved to a place that she knows nothing about when her husband had to leave as soon as they got there. It speaks of her survival with several small children, a salary too small to even feed them, and a husband who is too far away to be of any help. It speaks further of the time that that husband finds that he will have to stay deployed for an extra six months, he only found out a few days before he was to return back home.

We need the support of every American man, woman, and child for those who have to participate in operation enduring seperation. Support our troops. 

If you haven’t heard about this operation yet you are one of the minority because this is the most publicized operation in history. It really may not be the very most publicized military operation but the kicker is that it is being publicized before it has even started. US allies and Afghan officials are giving out details of the operation to the enemy right now.

The purpose of the publicity is to give the civilian population of Marjah and the surrounding area plenty of time to get out of the area if they want to leave. It also gives Taliban members time to make up their minds to leave if they want to. This is also an effort to reach out to the Taliban and hopefully set up an atmosphere where some sort of peace agreement can be reached shortly. The message to the Taliban is that if they decide to fight they can but it will be costly. Commanders are letting them know now that if they do decide to fight they can expect to take massive casualties.

The general concensus is that the Taliban will hide and try to wait out the assault. They may just try to wait until our forces leave the area and retake it. I don’t think that that will work because our intent will be to build the area up. Once we get a foothold we won’t relinquish control until the Afghan government is capable of standing on its own. http://www.militaryringexpress.com

The upcoming Offensive which is to take place in southern Afghanistan will heavily involve the Afghan Army. We are going as far as to say that it will be an Afghan led offensive. It is also being widely publicized. I thought about why all of the publicity about the attack and several reasons came to me why US planners are letting the enemy know that we are coming. Normally you want an attack to be as much of a surprise as possible, but in this case that is not so. 

Announcing our intentions of attack first of all gives innocent civilians time enough to get out of the area. It puts our troops at greater risk because the element of surprise is lost but it serves to show that we are doing all that we can to save the lives of innocent civilians. Our Operation Enduring Freedom ring customers are aware that it also gives the Taliban time enough to get out of the area. It is a stronghold of the Taliban and if they choose to turn and run it will be very easy to take and hold. On the flip side of the coin though if they decide to hold the city (which I think that they will) they will have plenty of time to reinforce their positions and prepare for the attack. This won’t be good news to our military ring customers at all.
