Here are some pics from c-mas and my turbin that was given to me by my interpeters. The other one is when we went to the range with our iraqi counterparts. I shot one of their shot guns. The big statue is in Kurdistan in the city of Erbil. It always amazes me how we can go out street shopping in a combat zone.
The SOI or sons of iraq is a group of concerned citizens in groups of villages. So all of you that think that local iraqi dudes arent doing anything... well your still right. usually the motivation behind signing up for this duty is bc it pays better and more regular then setting up IEDs and a hell of a lot better then a sucide carbomb or vest. but the US Army is done paying them off and the iraqi army has promised to pick up the bill. Good right? Maybe. I have already told you of wasta system and most iraqi army commanders are ok with is payment transfer bc the then have another source of income to skim off of. Well, my job is to not let that happen. In-Shalla...
Have a couple of big missions coming up, should shake things up around here and add a couple of nails to the terrorist's coffen. Wish us luck.
I remember then last couple months of my mission and trying hard to not become "trunky" or think of what i would do when i return to the states. Well as i offically reach my half mark as of 2 days ago, all i have is leave in 2 months, then 2 months after that... so monterey cali i come......
