Default Well I just started my Third deployment in Iraq

So for anyone who doesnt come by the "other" forum I posted there as well Im in Iraq now Third trip for me.

Just letting you guys know that im here made it safe and sound and I must say it is good to be living where the army has spent money!

Great living quarters, good chow now its time to start flying and fixing airplanes!


Just a little vacation do some war fighting and come home in a few months.

plus the over all situation over here is 180 degrees out from when I was here in 04-05 much better so dont always believe everything you see in the news!

To the brotherhood

Later

It's good news! Just too bad sensationalism/$$'s drives the media instead of unbiased reporting.

Glad we have "our man in the air & on the ground" to give us an honest, first-hand account.

Johnny, Thanks for the awesome job on the beast #354 & the job you do for our country! For those of you that don't know I have Johnny's old daily driver. He took it completly apart. I mean full engine rebuild & powder coated, body disassembled, doors off, all the glass off the the body & out of the doors, bumpers off, interior completely taken out including the dash. I have never seen anyone do this to a C4 & I have been @ this for 35 years. I guess they are not throw away cars liked we once coined them. He returned #354 to stock & it is just beautiful. Full body on restoration. Stay safe & please stay in touch. Lou

Thank You for your service, and thanks for the info. So much spin here it's hard to tell what's going on over there.
