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
