Captain can you elaborate on the saying please?

US Army Engineer history. The Corps of Engineers' oldest and most time honored insignia is the exclusive Essayons Button.

I am an artilleryman, but I took Basic Combat Training and Ft Leonard Wood, MO, and have had many good associations with the US Army Corps of Engineers over the years.

Awesome my dad was a captain in charge of the engineers that built the bridge over the Rhine River in wwII. HE never talked much about it. Thanks I learned something today being an old O311 Marine myself thank you for your service Sir
Side note my grandson is going to be a dad 22-9-18
So I'm going to be a great grandpa tomorrow

I'll have to ask him what all training he is going to do. Lots of good info. A lot I didn't know about engineers. All I did was carry a rifle Thanks

Infantry (Army 11B) were always my favorite customers. They were the most appreciative!

Congrats on the grandchild! And thanks for your service. My younger brother retired from the Corps.
