At some point in the within the first few moments of arriving at any place of military indoctination, you will be joined with a large number of complete starngers and you will be forced to begin bonding, in a common defense against the people who are yelling at you, using all sorts of unintelligible terms (which you will soon speak as if they were your native born langauge). 8220;Group Think” will be a topic s...

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Friday, February 18, 2005. Wow, I am really gross. It has been a long while since I have showered or changed clothes! For those of you who know me well, let's put it this way - you can actually notice that I haven't shaved in a while. I look ridiculous - my facial hair kind of grows in patches at various parts of my face! We've been training for our convoy security stuff and it has been great! Holy crao I have g...

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Monday, December 13, 2004. On Power Line today has a great explanation of what most soldiers think about heading to Iraq. A Marine, Major Phelps has this to say about our mission, sacrifice and ulimately making a huge difference in the Middle East and in our own lives:. We have been met with a serious resistance in some parts of Iraq, but if we can make Iraq a better place for the Iraqi people, isn't it worth it?

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Wednesday, April 27, 2005. Hey everyone, what's up? I hope everyone is doing well! I am doing very well here in lovely scenic baghdad! I went to a different camp not too long ago where I think Saddam used to live in this ridiculous palace. There is a huge man made lake. Out front that had really blue clear water in it - it turns out that the reason it is so blue is because the bottom is made out of tile! JK When...

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Monday, February 13, 2006. I continue to hear whining on military recruiting numbers being low, but in the military news paper "Stars and Stripes" I get the real news. The Army National Guard also got 113 percent of its goal with 6,341 recruits, while the Marine Corps Reserve and Air Force Reserve each met 100 percent of their goal with 854 and 2,362 recruits respectively.".

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Monday, January 31, 2005. Yesterday I took "550 cord" and made a sweet, high speed strap for my glasses - now they don't slip off my face! Then, a friend of mine in my tent took some microwave popcorn and tried to cook it on top of our heater/stove. It was pretty funny at first, he burned the living crap out of the bag, but eventually it started popping! Especially when there is 12 inches of snow on the ground a...

A soldier's journey through a deployment to Iraq. Feel free to leave comments, but play nice! Sunday, March 27, 2005. Guess where I am? How nice. There are some really neat things to see out here - old buildings that Saddam's government once used - most of them are pretty destroyed, but we have seen soldiers attempting to get to the top to take some pictures. I'll see if I can get some, too. The city is pretty awesome. We have real toilets! With plumbing and everything! I have recieved a ton of emails la...
