Greetings from Iraq

Post by OldSchool »

How are all my old buds doin?
It has been pretty busy around here. Working about 16 hours most days. Trying to get these Iraqi's trained up so we can get the heck outta here and go fight somewhere else.

Weather has been chilly mostly at nights, warming up to the 60's in the day. Luckily it hasn't rained much yet to turn everything into mud but i am sure its coming.

Hope ya all are gittin after them coyotes for me while I am gone. Surprisingly they have a small jackal here I see running around at night sometimes. Looks almost identical to a coyote. Wish I could bust a few of them!

Well, take care everyone. I hope ya all had a nice time during the holidays.

Old School....good to hear from you, bud. Rest well knowing that spot you told me about here out east of town still holds a good number of Ole Wiley. I'm savin' a bunch for your return to The World.

Stay low, keep vigilant, and know we all appreciate what you guys (and gals) are doing for us. You are NOT forgotten being over there. Come home safe.

Thank you for the update and God bless all you brave souls who have chosen to defend our freedoms from those who would like to take them away. There are a lot of us on this forum who can definitely indentify with you as we did our part back in Nam. Be safe and as Larry the Cable Guy says "gitter done"! We're supporting you folks all the way.

OldSchool - Be sure to know that the fact I/we can hug our kids tonight has everything to do with who and where you are. Thank you, and your fellow soldiers. We all owe a great deal to you, and despite the media there are a great many that think the most of you and your kind.
Also keep us updated on how you're doing if you can. I'm sure I am not the only one that would be interested on your thoughts on how things are going over there.
Also, let us know if there is anything over here that we could do for you. Seriously.

Alright, someone else over here missing out on all the hunting back home. Oldschool, I am here at Balad AB, or as you know it, LSA Anaconda. Where is Camp Liberty in relation to us? We are about 45 miles NNW of Baghdad.

I have seen one jackyl here myself, but the thing that i am impressed with the most are the size of the DOVES here!!

Oldschool,

Know our thoughts are with all of you serving the cause.

Regardless of individual position people may have on the war, I truly believe we are all Americans and support your efforts to protect our freedom. I know I do.

Keep up the good work and please pass our gratitude on to all enlisted you are with.

Godspeed
