Here's some pics of my recent tour in Iraq.
Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps II Marine Expeditionary Force Don't ask why it took so long to upload these so you all could look...but enjoy! Going on patrol. ![]() Main Supply Route Michigan (kind of like I-40 through the United States). ![]() Sniper mission. ![]() Sinh al Dhibban. This is a nasty, nasty place. ![]() Truck Commander on a mission. We found an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) this day. Long night. ![]() View from a .50 Cal machine gun. This was my baby. ![]() About to leave on a mission. ![]() Sitting in a box looking for ambushes. ![]() My buddy Trent on the left. He was carrying an AT-4 (shoulder-fired rocket) that day, and scared the crap out of the locals. ![]() Iraqi Police Cruiser. ![]() Deadly Force Authorized bishes. ![]() 36 hours into a single mission with NO sleep. ![]() Going home!

I just saw this thread.
Great pics. I truly appreciate your service and the service of your fellow soldiers. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

You're welcome, but the true thank you comes from me, hands down. QUOTE(Magic @ Feb 6, 2006 - 2:12 PM) [snapback]389697[/snapback] Verde97 you are welcome Many owners in Cyprus have great 6gc's but they dont know how to use internet,so imagine what is expecting you!!! Yes, I do know that it is close. I actually didn't exactly know where it was, so I looked it up on google earth. It is very close, but the weather and terrain is nothing like Iraq lol. I'll send you a PM if I ever get to go there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have my one weekend a month this weekend for the reserves (I transferred into the reserves again after I got home from overseas), and I will ask them this weekend if there is a chance that I could go there for some strange reason lol.
