Hey all

Just updating, I moved from Baghdad to my actual base now. Was a pretty exciting move. Flew here in a CH-46 helicopter at night. I guess its safer that way. Its pretty neat seeing all the city lights at night from that level. It was colder than ever in that thing though. The military doesn't make those things to comfy either lol :tongue: and no inflight movie or peanuts ! haha

Been pretty quiet over here except for some out going artillery (which shake the hell out of your tent) and all the hellicopters flying over.

Well talk to you all later !

Just checking in to say HOWDY ! Yes I am still alive and kicking over here lol. Things are going pretty good and don't have much to complain about. I don't know if anyone knows who he is but those who watch the news will know. I got to meet General Petraeus yesterday and check out an Apache helicopter ! Woohooo it was fun. The General seemed nice. He is a big wig 4 star that runs the whole war. Here is a video I made from the pics and video I took. Hope you all enjoy !
