Most Recent Reflection
View all 233 ReflectionsFrank, yours was the most cohesive, outstanding squad I had the pleasure to be on as an officer.
As for your humor- I still reflect on when you created a fake name email account and contacted your real estate agent SGT, asking about million dollar homes in the area. He was pulling so many listings with excitement and glee. You had him going for over a month thinking he was a going to hit the jackpot with that sale. ...LOL OMG - Classic Frank at his best!
