Gray, 28, acting platoon sergeant and tank commander with 1st Platoon, Company A, 4th Tank Battalion, Regimental Combat Team 5, checks his M2 .50 caliber machinegun as he finishes prepping his tank for another mission at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq.  Checking over his tank and taking care of his other crew members are just a few of the responsibilities held by Gray as a tank commander. When his reserve unit was preparing to deploy to Iraq, Gray found out they were in need of some key personnel, so he decided to extend for the deployment. ::r::::n::
