Look Out!

It's about 0430 and I'm relaxing here a bit, enjoying the internet and television for a few minutes. Don't ask why I am up at this time....I'm not sure. We are all experiencing a minor lull in action, which is good. It's been pretty hot over here.(I'm not talking temperature)
The "Armed forces Network" is showing the NFL Draft and I've been watching that with our interpreters. We have two younger guys who are really cool. They risk their lives for $70 a month in salary...crazy. They are all banking on this job getting them a visa someday. They deserve it.
Also, I came across this footage that is pretty extreme... Look out, Buddy!

Oil Dance

I put this clip in as a test because this liveleak site has alot of good stuff. You should probably get an account because I will probably post more from the site to give everyone a better idea of what I'm experiencing over here. These guys love oil. "The Black Blood of Allah"

This is a picture of some of my guys in Kuwait doing some training before we headed North. We really have a great platoon and we're doing well over here. We have long days and little free time but the people keep us motivated. The Iraqi people are great and they continue to stress how much they need us here to help them. Many of them dream of moving to the US someday. I tell them that I hope I can return to Iraq for a vacation in 10 years...hahaha but I really do hope that this place improves.
