I reported to the 1st Cavalry Division [correct spelling of "cavalry"...don't feel bad, everyone does it] shortly after BG Honore left his post as Assistant Division Commander.
There was no shortage of Honore stories. That's about the best way I can put it.
I didn't bother editing this when I cut and pasted it. I do know better.
That mistake is usually made by people who served in the inphantry or ngineers :-)
"playing cards" accusation.
I suspect he will have some very choice words to say to the chief of police.
