Some of you have seen these before, but I wanted share for the group some pictures from Iraq. I was waiting until I was able to load them up to Picasa and just add the links here.
Here's me at Camp Virgina, Ku. I had been there in 04 but it was "Camp Victory" at the time.
Here are my living quarters at Al Asad. They are appropriately called "Cans" - the walls seperating the three rooms in the one bigger unit must be made out of aluminum. You can hear the guy in the next room breathing at night. Last time I was in a squad sized tent for 8 months so no complaints here. Rocky, sure beats a mud whole, yes? I remember those days when I was in artillery.
Outside
Inside (I didn't bother to clean up.)
The base mosque (off limits)
Another view
Need any more proof men run Islamic society?
One of the MRAP vehicles
The Cinnabun (yes, Cinnabun) and BK.
And if you are saying to yourself, "Well jeez! It's so sad they can't have pizza and fried chicken, too!" don't worry. . .
And finally, this is a bunker and the basketball court (just past it in the flood lights) at night in a sand storm.
I'll have more later. Signing off from Iraq. . . .
