So, its been a while since I posted on here. I haven't found the need really being that there will probably be no one to read this, but oh well. So I guess I will try to capture the last few months in this post ( Read more... )

I have taken a look at my past and the women I have encountered. Each one very different from the one before. I have learned and I have grown from each experience. There was one that devastated me more than any event in my life, but I learned a lot about myself, and about people, and I am stronger for that experience ( Read more... )

So Saddam gets to hang. Unlike the American system where he would sit on death row for 10-15 years, he will be there for 10-15 days. Which means there will be reprisals on Americans and ISF forces. But guess what.. Thats not going to stop us from rolling into harms way. So we roll out soon, I hope I will be able to post another one. If not, Dennis ( Read more... )

If you think about it, the Universe has been conspiring since my birth to put me here at this very moment. The question is, what am I going to do? Am i going to step up or am I going to crumble? It seems like things just come at you from every angle imaginable. Yes, I am in a combat zone and I am faced with the fact that my life could end at any ( Read more... )

My back was hurt pretty bad, It still hurts. It was hurting before then, but alot after that. They say I have a herniated disk and that is whats causing the sharp ( Read more... )

So lets see, its been a good while since I updated this thing. As some of you may have heard on the idiot box, that october so far is the deadliest month for US soldiers in Iraq. The count is up to 70+. Things are crazy. From getting mortared and rocket attacks on the base, then going off the base getting shot at, roadside bombs and vehicle bombs, ( Read more... )

If you missed it, you should watch the show, THE UNIT. It may be in its second season. If you would like a copy of season one, let me know and I will burn it for you and send it. That depicts the type of things I hope to do with my military career.

So lets see, where do I begin. I have seen some horrible things. Some things that make you wonder. I was disgusted by the fact that men could use innocent children as pawns. How do you handle seeing children being thrown infront of vehicles. 18 Wheelers and Humvee's weighing about 12,000 pounds. 22 vehicles to be exact. They threw kids in front of ( Read more... )

So ramadan started last Saturday at sundown. It is a Muslim time of reflection and fasting during the daylight hours. It is also the most dangerous time. I will soon be traveling to Mosul, the SECOND most dangerous area in Iraq only to Baghdad. Two soldiers were killed yesterday by sniper fire. I am a gunner so I am particularly at risk because I ( Read more... )
