Well guys just finished my training. I will be taking leave soon then off to kuwait where I get more training...Joy joy joy. Then off to Iraq. I will be part of a 11 man team. We will be off the beaten trail and its going to be rough. Thats about all I can tell you. I really wish I could go more in depth but its all about security. Internet is a open source and the bad guys can view this info which is why I cant say much. I can tell you I will be training Iraqi's. Hopefully we will be able to hand over their country back to them soon and we can pull out of Iraq. I can tell you I am looking forward to the tax free $$. That is how I should be able to afford my new camaro. If all goes well I will be placeing the order for it in about 6 months. We will see how things go though. Dont want to put my famiily in a bad situation. As far as leave goes, I only get about a week. It sucks to go through a few months of training with hardly seeing my family then going away for a year. I love them very much and its very hard for me to be away from them. I am on a excellent team who is very experienced. All I can say is I feel bad for anyone who wants to attack us. We will mop the floor with them. I should be on leave mid next week, cant wait. Like allways, I will be checking in here when I can. Thanks for all of your support guys, I really appriciate it. Thanks!

Kick ass!

Glad you have a good team. Going over to play in the sand is rough enough. But going over with guys you don't believe in would be the worst.

I guess you'll post more before you leave, but be safe, and show us that Camaro when you take delivery!

Johnny I'm glad you'll be one of them, for one, we feel safer, and two, it's really nice to 'know' the brave men and woman who are there and trying to make that big difference for other people. Knowing the soldier's name makes it just that much more personal and I appreciate it.

A side note, a VERY good friend of mine from college was also on a 'good' team...

...and he is and always will be one of my personal heroes. Thanks for your service and be safe, and wreak some havoc.
