all is good here on the ol’ F.O.B, we got mortared today but nothing and no-one was hurt cept a small grass field that was being sodded so we can look at a football field that we can’t use.
For all of you guys that sent stuff out over this way, your keeping me saine, this place has nothing to do when your not working cept the makeshift gym, eat, and torment prisoners?
man , you guys are gonna love the freedom to do all the vehicles the way you want to build them up? the hummers are all different types of add ons from homemade armor to elaberate sf stuff that is here, well the wife is online better get going, the little one is a handfull for her and we don’t get to talk or chat much from my work.
Jesse,
good to hear from you.
glad you are doing ok.
let me know if you are a reader.
i can ship out some paperbacks if you tell me what you like.
or some food/candy/gum etc if those things are in short supply.
No matter what people think about the war, guys like you are the true heroes simply by dooing your job. Happy to hear you are OK, get home soon and post some pics of those odd hummers.
i managed to get online again, this is good, hehehe
one of the biggest things that we have in short supply is good coffee! i think that the guys that make the coffee here are most likely not coffee drinkers, it’s either to weak or way to much like syrup? and it’s also not enough, one cooler full definatelly not enough!
I did manage to “acquire a coffee maker, hehehe”.
we had some bad things happen last night, but none of us got hurt but you guys will probably hear it on the news or read about it in the paper?
FFI
we have some odd weapons floating around here, we have a wehrmacht m98 and an mp-44 ( the first one of the assault rifles/the one kalishnikoph supposidly coppied?) and a whole slew of captured mortars and such.
i got pics
it might be a while before i can post any as i think we can’t mail out film here, so i’ll take it home with me if i get R&R leave for 14 days?
well, i’ll tey to get some good detailed shot of those hmmwv’s for yall and some of the engineer dump trucks and 5 tons and the other cool goodies, also 1st ID brads don’t have the tows on them due to IED’s so that’ll help out anyone building a 1st id brad i hope?
o-yeah, and none of us are really alowed to put names on our tracks either, cept spec ops it seams?
well, my time is almost up, gotta get going, take care all, my head is in the sand bags and i’m like the weasel from looney toons, roger out…
So, no wonder Iraq is a desert, if they keep targeting sod with mortars… I wonder if killing grass is a priorty mission? Glad to hear you’re well. Best regards to you and your ‘fam’.
