Iraq pics...

I'll be constantly adding pics to my gallery as I take them out here. Here's the link: http://www.oznium.com/gallery/scion/tc/622/2655.

And here are a few samples:

USMC for the Win!!
Semper Fi!

Hope you get home safe.

The plant in the first picture just looks random...it made me laugh.

you room looks like what they found sadam in.

Nice air conditioning btw.

I bet he took a pic of the plant for Phil, lol.

LOL

I actually googled "Virgin Perry" cause I couldn't figure it out. Didn't get too far, but then I looked again...

Whose head is that? Can't be Gaylord Perry?

thats not bad compared to some of the tent cities i've seen pictures of.
best of luck.

Haha, it is in fact Gaylord Perry's bobble head and glove glued to a Virgin Mary statuette. I weird little something some of the guys put together when we were bored in Cali.

You're exactly right. The camp that I'm on is lucky enough to consist mostly of hardened structures. In fact, its really not even that hot (they said it usually snows during the winter in these parts). Maybe we'll have a white christmas!

wow, I thought conditions would be a little nicer than that...
Once again Bobby Lee, thank you for what your doing, it's greatly appreciated!

Is that a car seat? lol

Yes... we don't have nice, fancy office chairs. Just car seats bolted to wooden frames.

do you guys have 24/7 snipers on duty?

$2 Trillion in tax dollars in the hole, and that's the best we can do. FOr a long time, you guys didn't have proper body armor or vehicle plating... SOMEBODY's getting rick as **** on this Iraq thing.

Come home safe, bro.

I agree.... if you company has a contract with the US armed forces (any branch) you're getting serious $$$

for 2T, you'd think we could at least get some of those folding chairs the WWF uses to beat the pulp out of people

I'm sure that's something he can't quite talk about. I've got a friend over there and he can't say much, in terms of details.

I saw a pic online, a us soldier snipped an iraqi with tnt on his chest comming there way.

A 50 caliber rifle from 1000 yards will leave your head looking like a scrambled egg. nasty ****.

Yeah I hear 50 cals will shred body parts.

I want a 50 cal but the cheapest I saw bullets were 10 for 60 bucks!

and YES they are....put it this way...my brother in law has been in the army since he was 18, worked special ops, Delta, CIA and Homeland Security....he is going back to Iraq this upcoming Sat for his 6 or 7th tour...only 6-9 mnths though and hopefully he will get to stay in Kuwait and not in Baghdad....but he is getting out and going back in with a private intel contractor working in Kuwait....and is making an extra 175K for 1 year and 50% is tax free.....

many soldiers will not re-enlist but go to the private sector...same job, less risk, more pay....which is why the armed forces are having issues keeping recruiting and re-enlistment up....

and for your answer....look into Halliburton and some other companies...with the way their tax plans are setup the more money they spend the more they make in the long run...because for every dollar they spend they get more than a dollar back from the US government depending on what service they are offering...and they are doing everything over there from providing chow, doing laundry, body armor to driving trucks and supplies and supplying weapons....you name it....they can do it and ARE doing it...for 250 billion a year or something like that....

Remember....No company ever lost money when we went to war....it always creates new jobs and helps the economy grow....its just part of history that will never change.....war=money

If I had the choice between Kuwait and Baghdad... I'd choose Baghdad. Kuwait is the most God-foresaken place on the face of this earth. No place should ever be that hot. Also, the number one killer of Marines is car accidents INSIDE the U.S. I'm actually safer in Iraq than back home. Just a little food for thought...

So you send us pics of a bobble-head and a flower? Son of a ***** this is war in Iraq! Where are the tanks, rockets headed for a base, and a dead Iraq gunner with an American flag in his chest?

I need one of those for my xbox.

I think that's an AT&T commercial you're thinking of.

Corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

Effin A. Is that a 50 cal that sits on the roof of the humvees or w/e?

Looks like the turrets that go out da door on the Apaches

I think you mean Hueys. Apaches don't have door guns.

Well since I am not a well informed person with knowledge of every helicopter in the world and if it has a "door" or not, Apache was the first word that came to my mind, I was meaning helicopter in general but that's such a *** word to say, Apache is just a kick-ass word.

This is true. Normally I would have let it go, but my brain was like and wouldn't let me do anything else. No offence intended, i'm just a huge military Aircraft buff..... now if they'd been playing with a 30mm Chaingun on the floor, I would have been highly impressed.

Me... about to be engulfed by a sand storm...

that sand storms bad ass

I take it you've seen many of these storms....Otherwise the look on your face wouldn't be nearly as amusing given the background.

Good to see you are still safe and look to be having fun.

He's probably thinking the same thing about you...where the hell have you been?

HOLY SMOKES.....its GOPH...thought you were dead bro, long time no see

and awesome pics from the sandbox...

if anyone wants I have a video of the 30 chain gun that is mounted to a hummer and being fired at some insurgents...filmed by my bro in law in Fallujah I believe....speaking of which he should be in Iraq right about now....or Kuwait....if you run into Srgt 1st class Christopher Davis say hello lol

i saw a couple videos from some marines that was a sandstorm closing in. it was crazy how dark **** got so slowly.
