There was a club member in Iraq that would chime in when he could.
As I remember he was in Fallujeha (sp?), where all the shity stuff is going on. I don't remember his name but I have been thinking about him and what a tuff deal that would be. Anybody hear anything? Just hope he is safe. George |

That would probably be me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) I do appreciate your thoughts - that means a lot. With the departure of 82D Airborne, we've been attached to the Marines.
Things are crazy here, and you don't hear about everything in the news... but I try to check in once a day. Connecting through a secure proxy service sucks, though. I'm alive and doing okay, and more importantly - all my soldiers are good. If I take everyone home alive, then that'll be success to me. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

Being attached to the Marines....... Next time you fly in a CH 46, I probably worked on it. Three of my old units are over there now and have had the same aircraft for years..
what Marine unit are you with? |

yes, but he stated he was currently attached to a Marine unit...
Army guys in a Marine unit during peace time is a hoot, but in a combat situation all teams are equal... |
