It's #FlashbackFriday!
Our #holdidaycalendar gift is almost as old as the #Army itself and the last time it was used was in 1951.
It's the bayonet! Have you ever received bayonet training?

The Belgian snow was knee deep, the temperatures were subzero, and frostbite was starting to turn the soldiers’ faces black. Cpl. Joe Cicchinelli and the men of the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion, Company A, hadn’t eaten in 30 hours.
The Belgian snow was knee deep, the temperatures were subzero, and frostbite was starting to turn the soldiers’ faces black.
Cpl. Joe Cicchinelli and the men of the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion, Company A, hadn’t eaten in 30 hours.
“We were tired, hungry and cold,” Cicchinelli said.
On Jan. 4, 1945, the men of Company A were preparing for an attack on a German machine gun nest near Dairomont, Belgium, but they knew if they opened fire, they might hit their comrades who were circling behind the Germans.
Then came the order that Cicchinelli thought he’d never hear: “Fix bayonets!”
The paratroopers had trained with bayonets a year before in Panama, but they never thought they’d use them. Especially in a country and a climate so different from Panama.
Cicchinelli and the small group he was scouting for attached the bayonets to the front of their rifles and charged. They fought the stunned Germans hand-to-hand, stabbing them in their fox holes and pummeling them with the butts of their guns.
“I remember it as clear as if it were today,” Cicchinelli said. “It was one of the scariest things I ever did.”
When the fighting was over – it lasted only 15-20 minutes – 64 Germans were dead. The rare bayonet attack, for which the 551st is now famous, scored an early Allied victory in what came to be known as the Battle of the Bulge.
“It was the longest 15 minutes of my life,” Cicchinelli said in a recent telephone interview from his home in Sun City West, Ariz.
Cicchinelli, 85, recounts the bayonet attack and other World War II exploits in the new book “GOYA: The Story of Joseph Cicchinelli, a 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion Paratrooper” (Militaria Bastogne), written with Belgian Army researcher Patrick Brion.
Cicchinelli, second cousin of Massillon Mayor Frank Cicchinelli and a former Massillon resident, has spent the last 24 years trying to shed the ghosts of World War II and bring attention to the heroic deeds of the 551st.
Scholars have referred to the 551st as the Lost Battalion because it disbanded days after the Battle of the Bulge, and the records of its World War II service were either destroyed or lost.
D-Day is the start.
So we are at day 6.
So.. what is going on now is instead of PLAN Z. PLAN Z would have been ML. There was a post in and among MIL and DS fuckery and this time that Q mentions SA and ML and talk of it being disinformation (I have to leave but if anyone wants to look.. )
So I think the indictments/trials/executions are probably going down now.. not to say the last 2 haven't already started, but there is more to Operation Warp Speed then we are aware of.
The MIL "handling vaccines" to me screams arrests, but if we are 5yrs ahead of schedule then it would have to mean "shots" administered were trail and execution also. I know PDJT said in 2012.. simple trial, quick, and put a bullet in their head (kill the bastards).
Where I think we are, know there is also a post that says keep track of days 5, 10, 15, 20 or some shit.. that is apart of this also.

We are the special calvary unit..
