Post Whoring from Baghdad!

Recommended Posts

As promised..........I have High Speed internet in my room. No SAT TV yet though. That's coming soon I guess. I need the LAN more than the TV anyway. So.......not a whole lot going on here. Haven't even been shot at yet. :D I'm sure that will change within a few trips to the red zone. :S Anyway.........It's hot here and I am sunburned after spending about 5 hours today outside carrying 50+ lbs of gear. :S My back is killing me. So far I have gotten to see the embassy which is in Saddam's former palace. Pretty cool building. The Al Rasheed hotel which was fairly famous for getting shot up on a semi regular basis. The famous "Crossed Sabres" which is a memorial to the fallen Iraqi soldiers of the Iran/Iraq war. I'll get to see a lot more soon. B| Ohhh...........and I see you slackers have only put up 153 new posts in Bonfire since I last signed in several days ago. SLACKERS! :D

Stay safe, and don't eat yellow snow.:|

Wow. Look out Baghdad! Hey, spread some good will and sheep appreciation while you're there, OK?


(Wait 'til they get a load of Clay!) :D



It's weird. Your posts from there look the same as your posts from the US, yet it feels different knowing the climate you're in.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

drop me a PM with your DSN




No such thing here. We live on our own compound seperate from military and embassy folks. Hopefully I can find a packet 8 phone soon though. Unfortunately, the "good" electronics store just down the road was put "Off limits" today. [:/] I may have to wait for someone to send me one. :S

Hmmm....not many sheep there - bet you'll have to switch to goats for the duration...:S

Anyway, congrats, and don't get complacent. Remember that the rules are a lot different from your last gig, and don't think that you don't have to re-learn some stuff.

Hey, I personally posted 11 original threads since 4/11. I'm doing [B]MY share to entertain ya' man. ;)

Take care of yourself over there. OK?


Oh, BTW...should I send you a "care package" with some sheep in it? :P

Recently, I've become quite familiar with the little "Customs Declaration" forms that the USPS makes me fill out on packages. I'm pretty sure I can't list sheep under "quantity and detailed description of contents," so some creativity might be in order here. :) >:(

Of course, then they ask if there is anything "hazardous, flammable, perishable, etc." I'm pretty sure live sheep qualify for at least 2 out of 3 categories. :P Who KNOWS how long that stuff sits before it gets sent on overseas? :o

Post or PM an address and I'll see what I can do for you.
