Howdy, gang. Just popping in and bumping the thread by way of introduction.
Just got back from my second trip over to Ee-raq-nam less than a week ago. Yeah, I'm a wuss for only going twice... but OTOH, it was a year each time. Slated to go for another 12 starting in June, but we'll see.
I'd like to start by sharing the coolest fucking Christmas card EVER, which still hangs inside the 'expeditionary patrol base' we have in the sleepy little town of Khaffajiya:
Glad I found this thread. I'll probably be back here. A lot.
