im headed to Camp Delta for a few weeks saturday to work cause i guess they have less mechanics than we do and were running skeleton crew..........now they yank two guys out of the shop, me and another new guy and are shipping us north to Al Kut......should be fun......we will be about 35 miles from the iranian bornder so im sure we will be getting busted ALOT........

 

Nice. Its still pretty quiet here. Last IED was like 3 weeks ago. Still running the missions all the time though. Oh I talked to my sergeant about putting that sticker on the truck and taking a pic. He said he was cool with that, but we have to take it off as soon as the pic was taken because its a distinguishing mark, and not allowed. So that should be coming up in the near future....more to follow!

 

That would be AWESOME !! ,

Also I have a Friend who is into cigars , How many people are in your group ? these cigars are over $180 A box i think theres 10 in a box ,

I told him about you guys and asked him if he had any xtra cigars laying around i could ship to you , he said he wouldnt feel right giving normal cigars he wants to give the best and asked me to get a head count for your group .

and if a photo would be possible of you guys enjoying them that would just make him ecstatic

 

That is too easy. Lets see....I would say there are about 15 guys that smoke cigars pretty regularly here, so you can judge the number off of that. We actually group up on the rooftop at night to smoke, so a pic should be no problem!! I will tell they guys and the captains. Most of the religous cigar smokers are captains, with some of us enlisted guys as well. I talked to my sergeant and we are waiting to get the new weapon system mounted to the humvee before we take the pic with the sticker on it. I'm mounting a .50 cal on it, instead of the M240B so it will look way better. Keep me updated!!

 

as far as cigars go, mad props to anyone willing to throw a box of $18 cigars their way!! I know most of the CAO and Drew Estates (Java, Dirt, Natural, Acid seem to be the most popular of the D.E. line) are some of my brothers and my favorites and they're relatively inexpensive through Cigs Int'l, they end up being $3-8 each for a GOOD smoke. Look at the drop down menus of 'cigars> (big list of brands), (everyday values)' and 'samplers> (featured deals) and (brand samplers).

in those samplers, there are a lot of $20-50 boxes of 8-15 or so that make great gifts for the guys in the sandbox, my brother even got to come home a few days early once because he gave the right guy some cigars that we'd sent him!

 

I have passed your info on to him

 

... Thank you all for your sacrifices made during your service to our Country.
You are always in our thoughts and prayers.

 

i just came into BIAP yesterday, been at Victory since then and im headed to Delta sometime tomorrow.....

 

Dude are you serious? I was at Victory and Slayer TODAY!! I am at Liberty now, we had some electrical issues with the truck, so we had to bring it in. Man this place is awesome. I wish I could live here all the time. We are heading out tomorrow, you should see if you could make your way over here!! That would be on point.

Also, cant wait for those cigars. That will be great! Again, I will make sure to get your buddy a pic. Same with the sticker, again waiting for the Ma Duece (.50 cal) to get out of the shop. Later!!

 

i am right near "radio hill" where they got the C-RAM's setup.....at the KBR BTC.....i aint sure how much longer ill be here but i will be back through in 2 weeks or so.....we can try and catch up then.......ill be in G3/Delta for a while.....
