Good to hear from you guys and keep up the reports.

I still laugh at your quote that was funny, Ispep ( brought my spirits up)

good to hear you guys are ok. hope your Christmas went well.

i'll post some pics of a 107mm rocket attack on my brother's quarters when i can get back on my main computer(i'm on my wireless lappy). they aren't pretty, but no-one was hurt.

here's a question for you or Big Daddy: is the security situation getting better or worse for the contractor truck drivers? i'm thinking about coming over there and drving for one of them. do you know of a good trucking contractor?

Low and behold as we were eating at the table talking to two of my soldiers.......... The bomb went off! It was just like the movie "saving pvt ryan" when hearing gone, and when the smoke cleared there was chaos. I made it to my stomach and started to pat my soldiers asking if there alright. Needless to say one out of the two didnt respond with help from others a managed to get him treated and into a HMMWV and transported to the Hospital. He had a Ballbearing enter his lower back and exit his stomach. It was quite tramatic and Im doing 100% better from the devistation. Ive recieved a update from the command saying my soldier is in the states and recovering(Thats the bigest relief). Im sure you all have read or seen the video on CNN. Just wanted to keep you all informed both of us are alright.
PS say the new screen shots of BF2... cant wait. SSG Big Daddy and I get together once or twice a month and play Coop! "Good times"
let me know if there is any requests of photos you would like to see. Im in Mosul but we travel out on convoys and such. Later Ispep

Hey, Horsepower, I sometimes get deliveries with U.S. drivers. (better than the Turks or Kurds, have to use hand signals to get them to understand) Some are DoD,I think. I will ask them about other contractors.
I will try to post some more pics if I remember to take my camera to work.

It's good to hear that your man is ok..you guys be careful and I look forward to playing with you guys again soon.

Hey everyone, doing fine still busy from the elections here. Horsepower, you were asking about driving trucks over here. I talked to guy from KBR the other day, he said it is still a risk driving over here. But KBR is hiring like crazy, he says. To me, it is what areas of Iraq you are driving, some are ok and others, like where I am at, are fairly bad. All the convoys that go out have plenty of firepower. Anyway, heres a web site you can look: http://www.halliburton.com/careers/careers_kbr.jsp

later

thanks man. i'll know by May whether i'm gonna do this or not.
