[QUOTE="CPT Jack, post: 744181, member: 19007"] Just wanted to say hi to all the good folks here. I'll submit a detailed report eventually but for now here are the highlights: -Currently based on the Iraq/Kuwait border. We were originally slotted for Balad (north of Baghdad, south of Tikrit). We've JUST reached our final (for now) destination & begun the handoff. -We're pushing convoys North out of here. A lot of IED's on the Northern routes - probably 10 on our first work day. They're mostly missing the cabs & hitting the trailers. No KIA yet. We have good updated intel. -I'm planning a route recon as far north as the BN will let us go. I'll just take 1 vehicle/team of (4) pax. Oddly enough I've got plenty of volunteers. -Got mortared in Balad. Check that one off the list. No biggie, it missed by 500 meters. I was asleep. Still counts! -I'm dying for a big bore. Kuwait is flat and open - no rocks, no bushes. I want to buzz the camel herds & freak out the bedouins(sp?). :thumb: -Last camp we're in had 12,000 troops & very few internet connections. Big lines for EVERYTHING. Kept running out of water in the showers. Dust storms, etc. New camp is called "Navistar". It's much smaller. We're still in a "transient" tent until someone rotates out (2-3 weeks). At least there's power & the food's not bad here. Then we'll move into tents w/ AC. Tents will eventually be replaced w/ trailers although that's a long way off. For now we've got 16 people packed into 1 tent, including 3 females. Boredom will be our worst enemy cause there's not much to do & almost no privacy. Good thing we brought the boxing gloves! -It's 70's - 90ish during the day I'm guessing. Supposed to hit about 150 this summer. Prolly drop 20 lbs the hard way for sure! [/QUOTE]
