Well gents,
After 2 months we have a decent address. We are able to pick up mail once a week at the nearest FOB.
Mopar mags are in high demand since the PX seems stuck on mustangs and ricers.

Thanks for the address!! Keep safe and thank you for what you do

Good to hear form you Chris. I'll see if I can find a few things to send you right after Christmas.
Keep your ass down!

I am over here with you... I f you get a chance look me up I am at JBB.

hey JarHead how is it going? what do you need? let me know so i can get a box out to you!

Thanks for the support all.
I'm still getting used to the idea of being here a full year (Marine MiTTs do a year vice 6 month tours) and training the Iraqi Army can be alot like herding cats at times. We do however get a chance to work with the locals improving thier infrastructure, schools and medical care which I find the most rewarding. Kids are kids no matter what part of the world you're in.
I will be getting a 2 week break this summer to come home, get drunk, fish and drive the Hemi.
RoberX, I will probably be at Bragg this summer to visit my brother-in-law with the 82nd. My little sister will already be back in the "Ghan" by then.
Hot items for me and my boys:
Books/Magazines
Candy (for the Iraqi kids)
SOFT toilet paper (many of you remeber G.I. paper, OUCH!)
2009 calenders (MOPAR vehicles or beautiful women)
Baby wipes (good for the body and cleaning weapons)
Hand and foot warmers
any other items you see fit to send will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to modern satellite communication I'll be able to keep in touch with ya'll more often.

Chris

Roberx,
Sounds great! I have Triton TC 17 that I drop on base to go hunting for Reds. My tour should end in time for me to catch the last of shrimp season before the specks start running.

Chris

Everything going good up there???

Hey Rob,
Sorry about the delayed response, we are having some VSAT issues up here.
It's breaking the freezing mark, but a warm front moved in and dumped rain for Christmas(I was hoping it would snow)
Our Iraqi brothers are busy prepping for thier elections so we have our hands full right now. If all goes well we may move south in the spring. The guys I work with have been doing CONOPS for over a year are are in need of a break to train and re-fit. They are good fighters though, dedicated and fearless.
Let me know how things are down your way.

Chris

Probley something like your what is going on at your base if you know what I mean!??! But things are good other than that keep you head down!!

Man it's pretty quite down south. Nothing happening around here which is a good thing. 8 months to go.. Should be getting internet in our chu here pretty soon so that could be good and bad all at the same time.
