My daughter graduated from the US Army Field Artillery school this week. I think this is the first time we haven’t spent Thanksgiving together. She’s traveling to her assignment.

Me and a guy we called "Oscar" at the gate to Kandahar airport in December 2001.
Seems like every time we went out on patrol, he was at the front gate standing his post.

Had a really hard time finding a pic here; my service began and ended before the Age of Smartphones, so taking pics back then wasn't exactly top of mind. But this is me at Green Ramp, most likely in 1998 or '99. 2/505 PIR.

I'm not the guy doing the inspecting.

Couple pics of a Blackhawk taking off from the roof of the Al-Faw Palace in Baghdad right before a sandstorm came in. The heli is obscured by the storm in the first pic. Taken in 2004.

I know it's not a picture but this was one of my best days in the Marine Corps. Had to get rid of a bunch of ammo in Jordan so spent the day with EOD and Scout Snipers practicing emergency destruction. Controlled burn of small arms, then shot up a bunch of flares, smoke grenades. Basically all the ammo we got to issue out but never use. Topped it off with a controlled det consistingof det cord, bangalores, shape charges, C4, TNT, dynamite etc. Made our turn in a lot easier back in the states.

Every wonder who pulls security for Santa and his crew?

Posted these up in the photography thread - probably should have put them here. A couple A-10 shots I got in Davis Monthan AFB back in '05.

Any photographers on here? Show us some of your work!

In fond memory of those who did not make it back... Till Valhalla Gents...

OIF V:

Whoever says Iraq is just desert and urban terrain definitely forgot the Tigris and Euphrates were the fertile cradle of civilization. Those palm groves were thick.



Waiting for our ride to an objective:


Waiting for pickup from a rare daytime raid on a time sensitive target, post SSE:


Over time we really beefed up the physical security at our outpost. From sandbags around fighting positions to full on Alaska barriers and concrete towers:



Misc pictures:




And lastly, barracks shenanigans stateside. Chemlight fight when the power went out, with them stuffed in water bottles:

What are the protrusions sticking out beyond the tracks? A second track?

Those palm groves were thick.
