Fuck Iraq.
That is all.
Iran,,China....
I say that because I'm currently working here. WHy people have been fighting over this worthless patch of nothing for thousands of years is beyond me.
It's got to be one of the most miserable places on earth.
I'll give ya a Big +1.
Ryan! Great to hear from you.
Is there anything we can send you (anything that won't get us locked up or fined?)
In my opinion all of the Middle East should be turned to glass.
This thread gets my vote for thread of the month!!

My life may be worthless, but I'll still fight to the death for it.

Well, thank you Thomas. I pretty much have anything I need over here though, nothing that the PX and Haji shops cant take care of.Quote:

You know, as much as I hate this place there are some cool moments. As we drove back last night and passed the gate an MRAP was doing their checks and it must have been bottom of the ammo box night cause they were unloading EVERYTHING.

Was flipping great! MRAP .50 full auto for some nice healthy burps instead of the usual few rounds. One soldier was emptying his M-16... twas a nice moment!
BANG BANG!

I had a couple of VOX (voice activated headset) radios that I found just happened to have one of it's 5 freq's the same as the "good guys" radios (I bought mine at Radio Shack for hunting nonetheless). We used this to our advantage for intel. After getting our butts chewed for raiding their camp (again) by coming through this filthy pond and told "You can't do that", we were a bit irritated (I'm keeping the language clean).
So, we pulled up stakes and decided to go home (they either want us to teach them how to identify their weaknesses, or they don't - and they DIDN'T).
Since we all had full mag's of blanks we needed to discharge before securing the weapons, I decided to active my VOX and put the headset onto my receiver. Mind you, we were standing within viewing range of the "good guys" camp. I unloaded my mag quickly (not full auto, but single-shot semi as fast as my trigger finger could pull the trigger).
It seems that the guys runnning the "good guys" show had the volume of their radios up a bit too loud. It was a riot watching them hank the headsets off of their heads.
<big sigh> Those were the good ole days.

Glad to hear your well, Ryan.
You think Iraq is bad, look at the Helmand and Nimruz provinces in Afghanistan. Flew over them a few times, and there isn't shit there. I mean freakin' nothing.
Be safe, and get back here in one piece.
Yea, I read about it in the Stars and Stripes every day. I definatley dont wanna go there.Quote:
