How's this for "Lots of free time in the Army"?

Thanks for bein' there for us. Did my time in the Navy so I hear ya loud and clear about the free time.

I think this thread is great! I love hearing the stories and seeing the pics!!

Thank you for your service!

As one who appreciates your showing us what goes on there, and who doesn't trust the news, I thank you for sharing and welcome you to post as much as you can. Some stateside may not support our involvement in Iraq, but we ALL support the soldiers who have to be there!

Right!

nice post good luck to you guys. stay safe

Someone should give you & all out there, 'a truck load of anything you want' this is a very good, interesting thread...
Keep posting, when & where you can brother...(beer)

Here's another cool picture, from the Kuwaiti airfield we staged at before our flight into Baghdad. If anyone ever has the chance to fly on a C-130, skip it...

Although, it was the fastest descent back to the ground I've ever felt, with the acception of a Blackhawk.

You aren't really busting any OPSEC procedures..but just be careful with the pics bro..sometimes you can unintenionally release stuff you shouldnt'...as for AIF and the net...I guess even jihaadists gotta beat off too.

Thanks for the conscern; I look closely at the pictures I post to ensure I don't put anything out there that isn't general knowledge...
If anyone sees anything I post as harmful, let me know... I'll remove it

A big thank you for your service from Texas, keep up the good work and enjoy your free time.

I will!

Quick question: I have pictures from the suicide bomber strike, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to see them. They are graphic in nature, and I'm not sure on this site's policy regarding such images. Not sexual, but definitely adult in nature. I don't want to offend anyone, or piss off the admins, so maybe I could get a little feedback. Otherwise, I'l just stick to more of the same, and leave the nasty stuff to text-only info.
Thanks for all the support...

Hey I am all for it. I respect you guys and gals and what is done. I say if it breaks no rules that you must abide by, then it is clearly ok and general knowledge. I am not admin or staff, so wait till one of them says something. And please dont post anything that can get ya in trouble, I am enjoying this so far. Thank you.

I basically see nothing wrong with it, as long as you make a warning post for them before you post the images.
The most grossest things, I think, you should leave out, or link to them externally.
But I'm not quite sure if it's a good thing to post pics of dead, mutilated corpses in here...
So if possible, they should be hosted somewhere else and you can put a link with decription in here.
But as long as they are not straight-out "gore-pics", I see no harm in posting them...

don't know what other mods think though....

I'll give it a try, then...
This image is the remains of the suicide bomber. The tamest of the pictures, due to "lack of" actual blood 'n' guts...

This will probably be the only one I post, partly because it's really the only one that's recognizable, and the other ones are just piles of parts...

WARNING: The next image is a suicide bomber's head... Taken a few days ago after an attempted and failed strike on one of our patrols through Baghdad.

Hey nice pic´s :-) lets some more action pic´s!!!!

very nice thread man. keep posting, this is quite interesting stuff.

Time to lighten the mood again...
Here's one of our trucks getting downloaded off a Line Hauler the most wrong way I've ever seen!

That big-ass machine is used to move 40 ft containers, NOT designed for what it's doing here...

You should have seen that thing swing and sway! If it had flipped, I would have pissed my pants

Here's a cool picture. This was taken on a M203 range in Kuwait. For the uninformed, a 203 is a 40mm grenade launcher attached to the bottom of either an M16 or M4...

If you look closely, you can see the grenade in mid-flight...

Pretty cool, huh?
