Iraq op Tellic 7 2005-2006

[Iota]

when i had to serve out in Iraq, i was stationed in the Shiba Logistics Base, we had our fair share of spare time. I was even lucky enough to tag along on some missions, but i let the guys do the firing. i was only a military policeman but i wanted to experience what it would be like as an infantry man.. anyway, i became real good mates with another corporal, his name was andy and he still serves in iraq today..poor bastard. i only have three pics, he sent them to me a few days back as he found them as he was deleting his old pictures. i'm not in them..andy is though heh.

Andy was hungry! hmmm...Shrapnel....


Andy titled this "Me & Minime!"


3rd Platoon, Cassino Coy, Chemical Ali's House


and yes.. i was witness to the events at chemical ali's estate..wasn't pretty.

Thankfully... in my time in the army.. i only ever fired my gun in the target range... i am one of the lucky few.

Those are interesting photo's. Funny thing, everyone seems so cheery, i'd be at wits end in any type of militar situation.

we had to be cheery.. we had to make light of any situation when we weren't fighting.. it kept us going =)

Thats rather admirable.
