I am indeed alive and that's the only holding up that matters. :) Miss me? Reading some of the posts in here, I'm noticing a severe lack of a resident "level-headed" dem. Unfortunately, I've only got a few days left on leave and don't feel like mixing it up with the great political minds here ;)...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. And yes it's very good to be home, just wish it was longer. I thought Iraq was insane, but working under NATO adds a whole new element of crazy. And, in a way, it's kinda cool. We're the only American unit currently falling under a foreign command. We're...

Man, really? I should come out of my cave more often...

Other. Though our mortar guys let me hand shoot our 60mm a few times. That was fun. That and calling for fire.

Someone posted this up in the discussion area at the bottom of the article. I'm at a complete loss for words. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=101147081

Just go back for R&R and wanted to post these up.

A place/person that can re-gear my jeep. I'm in the Atlanta area for the next week or so, but I want to find a place that I can get it done before I leave. My wife will be taking care of it while I'm gone so I really want to find a place that won't try and screw her over. I appreciate the help...

Would you like his email address? Oh, and I witnessed first hand the results of this new ROE. We found a booby trapped IED factory. We requested clearance to drop a precision guided 500lb bomb on it. It was denied. We requested permission to shoot 155mm artillery at it. It was denied...

Hey guys, thanks for the support. Maybe it is a bit harsh to say EVERYONE is guilty. Just the males between the age of 13 and 60.

Different in that super special kind of way lol. :wow: :gag: Had to.

Fair enough, but I'm living down the street from the hometown of Mullah Omar. Screw 'em. These people have plenty of good things to say about the Taliban. And the Chi boys live with the ANP here. I know that things are much different in the cities like J-Bad, Bagram, and Kandahar, but out here...

It all depends on what you want to do. You're getting into it pretty late in the game as far as the wars are concerned, but if you want to kill people you can join the Army as infantry and they offer 3 year contracts. If you have student loans, this may be the route you want to take because the...

This was actually the brilliant idea of the new general in charge here. Forget his name at the moment. See, I know WHY he did it, but it just doesn't stand up to reason. The Taliban conduct really effective information operations. Everytime we drop a bomb no their meeting they claim it was a...

This is a story about the new ROE we have here in Afghanistan. It blows. Basically, now we have to run from a fight and put soldiers at risk vs just dropping a bomb on the bastards. We already have a pretty strict ROE here as it is, but this is ridiculous. So if someone is shooting at you...
