Hello everyone. I just got back from Iraq, well about a week or so ago and now I have time to go back on line. I have lots of pictures from my time over there, including some true battle shots (low res). I will try and get them up soon.


P.S.

War is hell......but can be fun.

You survived!

Welcome home!

Welcome back and good job, we're all proud of the job you guys did over there.

Yup...only damage to me was I broke my ring finger on my left hand. I have pictures of it to.

Welcome back !

...and ooh pictures from afar.

Thanks Stravo. I just started re-reading your fanfic, it is great.

One thing I wish I had over there was something good to read. The front line PX did not have much Plus once we got into Baghdad, everything was in Arabic.

Welcome home!

Welcome back, you've missed nothing important by comparison.

*salutes* Welcome home!

What'd you do exactly? I don't know what service you are.

Welcome back, Soldier!

*blows Kiss*

Well, after I made good use of the Search function, I found he was a Marine Tank Commander with the rank of Captain.

So, it should be, "Welcome back, Marine!" But I'm a nitpicker when it comes to that particular subject.

Anyway, didja blow a lot of stuff up?

Welcome back.

You guys did a bang up job over there. And we are very proud of our troops, regardless of our opinons on the war itself.

Good job!

And now, Mr guyver, you may thank me with a moderate cash donation.

Did you enjoy all those tax free paychecks?

All hail our conquering hero!

EDIT: Oh yeah, and good job over there. We were following you
guys every moment during the war on our board, and learning
lots of stuff about towns we never heard of until now

Did you get to blow up bad guys with bullets and bombs and thermonuclear artillery? If so, you did a kickass job!

Welcome back, Marine!

Welcome back, Marine. Glad to see you're in one piece.

SEMPER FI!!!


Maybe you can shed some personal insight into all those nasty rumors we've been hearing about "quagmires, heavy resistance, and low troop moral" from the media

I didn't know you were a Marine, much less one in Iraq, but I'm glad you came out essentially unharmed.

Thank you..

and a very big Thank you to LadyTevar for the flash

I am just glad to be home (as is my mother and girlfriend). Yes I am a TC for the USMC, I was in an M1 MBT, and yes I did see lots of combat from day 1 till the end. The Iraq army was not a push over like the media said. I saw many people get hurt...and some killed . Granted the Iraq Army was ill equiped but it was there turf and they fought hard. War is hell but it has to be done. Some people have a hard time understanding that.

For every mile we took they put up a very big fight. But the people of Iraq where very happy to see us. When we rolled in to Baghdad and raised our flag, it felt like being in Times SQ (So many people waving the gold old US flag) and cheering for us.

Like I said I have lots of photos of what I saw over there, some in 35mm and some Dig (some of the photos I have are not pretty but show what war is) . I will be getting them up soon. I will post with the pics a detailed report of what I saw and did.

Thank you once again..

P.S.

It is an old tradition to name your tank (and since I am the guy in charge)....My tank was called Crimson Blade (for two reasons 1: I was in red unit 1 section 3a and 2: Darth Wong's SSD from the fanfic Conquest). I have a photo of my tank with the name on it.

Welcome home, Marine! *kiss* Glad you're safe and sound.
