Hi Folks, Official grip and grin time! I've been speaking to some folks the last week or so and thought I should say Hi to everyone! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have been lurking behind the walls with the rest of the cockroaches for about a year now, and have learned quite a bit. You Guys Rock!
Quick background: I'm in the Army (18yrs), currently instructing at the Army side of the bomb disposal school. I take regular vacations from here to the garden spots of the world, Iraq, Afghanistan (and any other stan), Africa...etc, you know, the nice places. By the way, this has made me incredibly thick skinned, so dont worry about insulting me, but be ready to spar (of course within the limits of this forum).
So don't be suprised to hear questions and reviews from me, of course, all totally skewed from my humble point of view. When I'm getting ready to punch out, if anyone has any goofy ideas, I'm all about giving them a shot in a different environment.
Keep it up everyone, Madbomber Mike

Welcome! I went through Red Rock U in 1983 myself. Loved Huntsville, but I'm sure it's changed since then...

Welcome Mike,
Say, I hear from my contacts in Balad that the bad guys are deploying shaped charge IEDs now as far south as Tikrit.
Sure wish we'd do something about the fine individuals supplying these BGs.
I met an Army EOD out of Stryker that got popped and after they stripped him to his skivies and plugged the holes, he got up, flipped off whoever might have been looking, and walked to his evac. That was one tuff bugger!!!
Anyways, I hope I never have to deal with the survival issues you get to.
Take care, stay in touch, stay frosty.

Yeah, I'd like to shorten that supply chain by a few links myself. But political pleasantries must be observed.
Stay Loose! Mike
