Hey, what's up. Long time no visit. I haven't been here for a while and the place looks decent! Seems the new leadership (and old) has taken steps and expanded the forums. :)

What has everyone been up to? Plenty happening in this part of the world, as I am no doubt sure you are all fully aware. Every day is busy busy for me, naturally its hot and I'm sweaty and dirty all the time. It's not that bad. We really haven't had it bad in this part we were assigned to. More suicide attempts than anything else. Some, close friends. :( No deaths of of said attempts. So that's good but they've screwed themselves. No need to get into it.

The friends I have here really make the difference. Not to mention when a day realyl drags out and a mission really sucks it's nice having friends to joke around with. Not everyone is so uptight as you might think. And those who are uptight are not why you would think. It's definately missing the family and friends back home that's the hardest, the hardest, part of the day.

I don't really have a lot of pictures you are all yet. When I get my block Leave I'll be posting pictures up and around the internet. I'm about half way through this deployment. 15 months of one man's life in Iraq, shit, I better have some pictures.


Let's see, anything else? Hot, dirty, more hot, food is dec. At least, well, I'm not picky :p. Oh, which reminds me! I totally got fat, and now I'm not. :) I'm not ripped, but at least I'm not an eye sore anymore. lol. I'm still an eye sore I know. =\

Alright, everyone have a great time and play nicely. :beatdeadhorse5:

Bret man! I was wondering where you went.

I'm glad you are serving our country...a lot of my friends are in Iraq. It's a tough time but I believe they'll all come home safely. How have you been ban? :F

Crikey that scenery is rather bland. Good on you for losing that weight, but i guess it can't be helped in the climate you're in.

Yes, the scene is bland. Palm trees and sand and trash. A lot of trash; everywhere. It's sad really. =\ I just got back from a patrol an hour ago, Mr. Sun was not very nice to us today. So yeah, we're doing alright. Still a live and healthy.

I'll be around.

IF he does, that is. He could be like LOL BRING BACK TROOPS, then next day - keep'em here. Silly politicians.

Good to see you are still alive there Bret. I am amazed you managed to get used to the blazing heat.

The heat is in-fucking-sane. But I drink plenty of water so I'm good.
No, I haven't killed anyone nor am I looking to! I'll go the entire deployment without firing a shot, thank you.
It was nice to hear from you all! Hopefully you are all doing great!
Keep safe,
BRET

You are telling us to keep safe when you are in a war-zone? ROFL!

Then again. That outfit keeps you warm when the temperature drops at night.
