How did that green key save your life?

When I say it saved the lives of "me and mine" I am being facetious. The green key belongs to the "God Gun" that is used along with the U.S. Army multiple integrated laser engagement system, or MILES gear. The God Gun can either kill or revive people and equipment.

With the MILES harness there is a key slot that will accept one of two keys, the green God Key and the yellow key that comes with your firearms laser transmitter. Green stops the beep and revives you the yellow just stops the beep.

When a Soldier wearing MILES gear gets hit by the opposing combatants (Or fratricide, intentional or unintentional.) laser it sets off an alarm on your harness. That beep can break your brain if it's not turned off in short order so you will use the yellow key in your laser transmitter to stop it until an "Observer" can rekey you with a God Key. Below is one of the greatest examples I can think of.

Every now and again a member of the E-4 Mafia will get their hands on a green God key and hold on to it like its Isildur's Bane. ("My Precious! O my Precious!") They use it in total secrecy and only pass it's blessed usefulness on when they ETS. I did not get mine until I was and E-5, I was tasked to be the Training Support NCO for our Battalion. I was the schlub that had to draw things like MILES hear, graphic training aids, and just about anything not bought and stored at Battalion and Company level. When you turned in MILES gear they accounted for every single key, yellow and green. At one point the Training Support Center on Fort Riley had an "open house", if you were on the signature card you could come get all kinds of cool stuff for free. They were moving and were not moving all the stuff inside the building. The best part for commanders is none of the items were going on their property books. I picked up two complete UXO (Unexploded ordnances kits.), two full Moulage Kits (Casualty Simulation Kits), a dozen "rubber duck" AK47's, RPG-7's, RPK's and M16's and boxes of graphic training aids. When I was back at Battalion sorting through all the stuff I found the God Key in a moulage kit. That green key kept people and vehicles alive in the field, at NTC and JRTC for the next 15 years.

De asemenea, când am primit nașterea din nou și împărăția Lui în inimile noastre am primit natura Lui; ba mai mult, prin lucrarea Duhului Sfânt: “dragostea lui Dumnezeu a fost turnată în inimile noastre” (Romani 5:5). Observăm că dragostea : – încântă inima lui Dumnezeu…

Fort Polk, an Army installation in Louisiana that for decades bore the name of a Confederate general, was re-designated Fort Johnson on Tuesday in honor of Sgt. William Henry Johnson, a Black soldier whose battlefield heroics during World War I earned him the nation’s top military award for valor nearly a century later.

Johnson died in 1929, just 11 years after he prevented at least a dozen members of a German raiding party from capturing his fellow soldier in France’s Argonne Forest. Johnson’s bravery earned him praise at the time, including from American poet Langston Hughes and the son of a former president, Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who called Johnson “one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war.” Despite the praise, Johnson didn’t receive the Medal of Honor for his courage until 97 years later, when it was posthumously awarded by President Barack Obama.

Following a ceremony Tuesday, the commander of the newly christened Fort Johnson said its eponymous hero’s legacy will inspire future soldiers who enter the sprawling Joint Readiness Training Center on post — a network of mock villages and woodlands where units conduct final training exercises before deploying overseas.

“The Warrior Spirit that burned within Sgt. William Henry Johnson now inspires generations of Soldiers. Soldiers that will now call JRTC and Fort Johnson home and Soldiers that will continue to come here from all over the nation and the world to train,” Brig. Gen. David Gardner said in a statement.

Fort Johnson is among nine Army posts that have been selected to be renamed as the Department of Defense attempts to make its ranks more inclusive for marginalized groups like women and racial minorities, while also reckoning with long-standing racial inequities.
