Hero's BUMP!

Mike--- If and when you get a chance, would you care to report some of the other "non-classified" details of your time. Some of us would like to hear a first-hand report. (with your permission, of course!)

See, I've got a cousin over there, and I want to stay concerned for his safety.

A few things, in general. I am the 1SG of a CH47D Medium lift Helicopter Company, we are stationed about 20 miles from Baghdad. We fly missions that are everything from passengers to strictly cargo. Quality of life is steadily improving for the soldiers there. We are slowly transitioning to Shower and latrine trailers, dining facilities are being constructed.

There are occasional rocket and mortar attacks directed at the base and once in a while they get lucky and hit something, they are finally starting to decrease. The Air Force is starting to pick up more missions delivering supplies and equipment by air. This is a great thing, the people at the greatest rsk in Iraq currently are the people in Transportation Units who are traveling the roads almost non-stop. I pray for them everyday.
