I have a few spare moments this morning, so I thought I would fill everyone in on what we do here. Our primary mission is the transportation of bulk fuel, all types. We are a off road unit and drive very large uncomfortable trucks that are capable of navigating almost anything. Many times when the RA gets behind we get called on to haul whatever they need besides fuel. We are on the road nearly every day going to different forward bases. In essence we keep the northern half of Iraq moving, whether on ground, or in the air. We come from all different backgrounds in civilian life. We have truck drivers, carpenters, firefighters, students, diesel mechanics, and one lowly police officer. We range in age from 21 to 43 with the average age being 29. Our years in the army range from 1.5 to 24, with the average years being 9. Just thought you guys would like to know a little about your newly adopted children in Iraq. God Bless

You're not our children, Steve, you're our brothers (and if you have any women in your outfit), our sisters. You have our gratitude and admiration for doing an important but unsexy job in an exemplary manner.
