Well today we went driving around regardless of the danger. Stoped and took alot of pictures which I will be posting soon. Saw Uday and qusay's Palaces that were blown to shit. Also, some mosques and lots of locals at some torn down apartments. Other than that we had a VBIED hit this morning. Pretty loud. Anyways I've met some pretty cool people on ( Read more... )

Well today I was sick. Which sucked. Had a few explosions here but they were probably a couple miles away. I have a month left in this hell hole.

The sweet sound of mortars. Unfortunatly, I woke up to this sound this morning. Gotta love the sense that you may be next. Who knows. I just go into work. I have 11 hours left. In 30 minutes I have to run to the gates of Victory and pick up some Iraqi nationals and escort them on to the base. So they can work or something. Other than that noting ( Read more... )

Well, this morning really sucked. We had a couple attacks on the post and so far 2 killed 7 wounded. They launched 3 mortars at us and it hit right near the trailer I sleep in. It did hit someone elses trailer though. I don't know who it was but damn. I feel for his family. Also had some car bombs go off near the gates. This shit is pissing me off ( Read more... )

Ok so yesterday was exciting. I was walking outside to use the pisser and a rocket went over my head and landed about 100 ft. In front of me. I just sat there for a second thinking I was gonna die. But!! It impaled itself into the dirt and it had a bad fuse so it didn't go off. I just stood there still. Shocked out of my fucking mind! I couldn't ( Read more... )

Well it's the beginning of my 14 hour work day. It really sucks when you only get 1 day off a week. I talked to my cousin yesterday. Mike, he's fucking rad. I guess he's wanting to move with me to Europe next year so now I have 2 friends coming with me and 1 cuz. Man life is gonna be good. I found both if my friends jobs over in the EU but still ( Read more... )

So the last few days have been exciting. Had to move up the uniform so we have to wear our flaks and kevlar's everywhere. Which sucks cause it's so damn hot. I can't wait to get home. Well, I have new pics and I would post them but I still don't know how and I don't care. Right now I'm listening to Blindside. Fucking Great!
