Yea I didn't realize there were as many of you guys over here in the sand box. Yea it can get cold as **** over here. You guys have fun with whatever time you have left. I am now in Kuwait and will be home in a few days! That snow sucked because it brought all the mud and **** I was trying to avoid this winter. Last winter was really bad over here. The summer really wasn't that bad either but I am not a grunt so I didn't have to go out on patrols or do all kinds of gaurd duty. I had to pull gaurd down south that first winter and spring but when we gave that strong point to 3rd ID and went to Liberty. After us mechanics got out of gaurd duty when we went back out to another strong point cause there were not as many of us there. But everyone that is still over here take it easy and don't do anything stupid.

<-- 3rd ID

Yeah im a 11c man so im constantly doing the dismounted patrols. Only missions i do as an actual 11c is a few loom rounds every once in a blue moon. Glad you get to go home to your family and friends bro. Ill be there in about 12 months.

Yea a snowball fight would be a little more fun lol. So I take it you're with 3rd ID Blackfox? I don't remembe what 11C is but it sounds like Mortars. We had them being shot out all the time at the Water Treatment Facility down south by Yusahfia. Thats the place that 3rd ID unit took over from us. I would be in the 113 on front gate gaurd and watch them shoot up loom rounds and light up the shy all times of the night. Its really kick *** to watch the rounds go rocketing out of the tubes and your watching it go up so fast and its gone and thenyour like some sand monkeyis about to die lol. You guys take it easy.
