Awesome to hear from you Jim!!! I was wondering how you were a few weeks back, but figured you'd moved on after selling the Busa...

I'll never complain of the heat again! Thanks for all you do and hurry back home soon!!

You guys and gals of our military are the best. Thanks, more than I can ever put into words, thanks.

Please be careful, and come back home safe.

A prayer for you and your brothers and sisters-in-arms has been forwarded to the supreme commander in heaven.
 
Good to hear from you! Keep safe! Desert Camies bring back memories. Hope you are home soon!

Stay safe and come back home in one piece so you can ride. Make sure you hydrate because it's just starting to get hot over their. Don't be surprise when it hits 130-140 over their.

Okay, I'll try to hit the high-points:

NJ - I don't have a mag in the M16 because we were at the range the day that was taken. Only when on the firing line. You know how that works.

For the observant one (godspeed409), yes, that picture was taken in Kuwait. Due to the wind/sand I was trying to cover up as much as possible. Now that I've actually seen a sandstorm...that day wasn't shiot

I'm not sure if I could legally say where I'm at, but I'm in the Al Anbar Province. I'm with the Navy SeaBees (Construction Battalion), and we're assigned to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force. We've been doing quite a few projects outside the wire while working with the Marines and by ourselves. Lots of cool stuff and stories to tell when I get home.

If I hear the word Hydrate after I leave this place, someone might get hurt. All hydrate means is that you're going to piss every hour at least. Don't forget the 1am wake-up call for the bathroom. When I'm outside, I grink about 1 liter of water every hour, and I'm not sure that's even enough.

Thanks for all of the well wishes

I check back in soon.
 
So what you're saying is that you want us to send you more water?

It's important to hydrate! I can say that 'til you get home

So glad to see you around Jim!

Do you have any more pics to share?
 
If you think it's hot now ... wait till August (I served over there in Desert Storm).

A thousand of these

for serving. Guys like you are why the rest of us are here enjoying freedom.

Stay safe and get back to your busa!

This was taken while putting up razor wire when we were building a new Combat Outpost. We took over some houses to use as military structures, and we were setting up the perimeter security with the Marines. This was a neighbors house.

This was our wire crew.  A few SeaBees and the Mariness of the 8th ESB.  We were using one of the houses on the compound as a place to get out of the sun and relax our body armour.

I'm the one in the front/center.
