We had a terp named "Sam" back when I was in it. This man was one of the best people I've ever met. I'll never forget my 1st SKT, I was scared shitless and didn't even realize it. Sam must've picked up on my anxiety and he just starts asking me all these completely banal questions, "Favorite color/food/drink" just the dullest, most pedestrian queries you could imagine.
It took me six months to realize that he was talking me down, masterfully. I'll never forget that and what he did for me, some twenty year old punk kid that was getting his cherry popped.
He also stopped one of our heart-eaters from sawing off some Baba's ear. He got kidnapped and killed a week after I caught some shrapnel and got med-evac'd. Thanks Sam, you were an awesome dude and I'm glad I got to know you.
Thanks for your service OP
