Been Awhile

I know, I know…it has been awhile since I last posted. Between me going on R&R leave which took almost 30 days due to the sandstorms we had and then trying to get up to speed upon my return…time just flew bye. Anyway, we are all done with out R&R leaves and now we have about 90 days left until we redeploy!!!! Contrary to popular belief, things have not slowed down since the new Security Agreement went into affect. We thought it might, but no such luck. We’ll, I know your not looking at my BLOG to read, so here are the snapshots.

Yard Time


Here is 808 enjoying his “Yard Time” with a smoke. Actually, he is waiting for someone on the Helipad.

RE-UP


808 & Flipper decided they couldn’t give up the Army and I had the honor of being the Re-enlisting Officer. I don’t think Flipper was really cognizant of what he was doing looking at his uncertain grin.

Post it Anyone?


Raven went on a four day (turned into 14 days) pass to Quatar and the guys decided to decorate his desk.

Looks like Mars, huh?


Yes, this is one of the Sand Storms that hit us early mid JUN.

Promotion


808 got promoted to SGT and the Division CSM pinned him

Second Job


Don’t ask. Guess Raven got a second job as a night janitor.

I want one of these


V-22 Osprey….they are coooooool!!

BlackHawk


No reason….I still marvel at helicopters when they take off,

Charlie Daniels Gang


He was in town recruiting and these three volunteered to be in his band

Cowboys




Guess who's Stetson they're wearing?

This is a very historic gathering place in a town in Northern Iraq called Erbil (capital of Kurdistan).
