Religious,

I'm pretty certain it's not allowed throught the Military/Armys' networks and bandwith. It's probably moderated.

I know it wasn't in my army...when I served, and it wasn't too long ago. But then again, I didn't serve in the US Army, just a thought.

From the pics it looks like you live out there by yourself! Keep yourself safe!

We are still behind the 'wire' but in a seperat location. I work on a radar crew so we have to keep away from anything that would cause interference. Its pretty quiet here. We havent gotten mortered in quite a while. (knock on wood)

Justin,

I don't know how I missed this thread for so long. Hope the light is working well. Glad to hear your got some good equipment. You glock is running great. I got for my wife but wouldn't you know I shot the fastest bill drill of my life with that thing. So, now I am trying really hard not to pick it up any more. I really don't want to be a "glock guy". But thanks again for a great gun.

Dan

ps I know it has already been said but if you need anything let me know.

Oh yeah, Thank you for defending my family.

here is a few more pics from the front.

The first one is a Bradly fighting vehicle that was hit by an IED. No one was killed. The driver recieved some bruises and some battery acid burns on his hand.

Cool... How many mags do you carry?

I don't see a lot of damage to that Bradley.

when im leaving the wire i carry 8 mags. In the wire i only carry one attached to the weapon.

There is a 8" diameter hole in the bottom of the vehicle, the armor over the track has been blown off, and 3 of the road arms were sheared off.

I am a former US Army guy myself and you guys are doing a great job in difficult circumstances and we're all behind you. ;) you need to put a sign up right outside your living quarters that says "HUMMER PARKING ONLY" or "TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT AND SURVIVORS WILL BE SHOT AGAIN" :wacko:

I cant say much for the weather out here. I think its more extreme than NE

weather. Two days ago it was nice and calm. It only took a few moments for a

big thunderstorm to blow in. The sky turned orange from the sand storm that

was w/ it. Durning the storm the winds were in excess of 75mph. The front

porch of our house has a enclosed area, it shifted in the wind by almost a

foot. It was pretty cool, but im glad that i was inside.

All is well w/ me. 5 1/2 more months of this place :(

Not meaning to thread jack, but look close at the calandar, it looks like my Grandfather's work.

If it don't say "Rockwell" it's probably his.

Has the Army finally distributed IED (RF triggered) jamming equipment? (Am I even allowed to ask that question...?)

Thanks

Stinger -

I noticed you have an M16 with iron sights. The Army couldn't throw a USPSA shooter a bone - like a flatop with an Aimpoint?

I figure whats the point. Ive only left the 'wire' twice and i prob wont leave again for as long as im here. Id rather the infantry guys get stuff like that cause they actually use it.
