PFC Brett Dreyer
Brett was in college for 2 years when he decided
to join the Army. Unlike some guys who join for
patriotic reasons, Brett enlisted for more
personal reasons - to test/push himself. He
plans to finish college when he gets home and
join the police force - after relaxing for a few
weeks!
Since he's been gone, he became an uncle to his
sister's first baby. The whole family (baby
included) plan to go down to Fort Benning, GA
when he and his division come home sometime in
January.
Brett is a humvee gunner in the 2nd platoon, 69
Armor regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division.
Brett's mom reports, "Gunner in a humvee sounded
like a safe job to me - I figured he'd be in a
big tank with a big gun. Unfortunately, four of
his buddies have been killed by IEDs (improvised
explosive devices) while patrolling in humvees
and several severely wounded."
He has been stationed in Baqubah, Iraq since January 2005. Baqubah is
about 35 miles north of Baghdad - in Sunni
territory. He and his buddies go on daily patrol
of the town - searching out insurgents and
weapons. They man check points and insured safe
elections. They also help train the Iraqi army.
