They must have been unsuccessful (no casualties) or controlled detonations, because we haven't heard any chatter. There were several blasts this morning.
Would you like a sign that says "Welcome to Paradise?"
LOL - that's how we greet "newbies." I'm escaping "Paradise" for a couple of weeks in 11 days. Going to take one of my scheduled and much-needed breaks from it all. (Woohooo!)
Hope the bunny makes it to Irbil OK. I agree that if it's Dove, it'll taste good no matter what shape it's in. I have a drawer full of KitKats and M&Ms here to keep me going.
BTW, Irbil is one of those areas where Americans are pretty safe now. They can actually go out on the streets, go to shops and restaurants, etc.
We send the bulk of our packages to Tal Afar, Rawah, Mosul, Kirkuk and Ramadi. Sent alot of stuff to Baghdad, but those units have come home now.
Am cultivating another SGM who may be able to set us up with a Special Forces unit in Afghanistan. So far we've been relegated there to sending care packages to the fire bases via convoying by member of a POC.
There's a remnant left at Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo that we send an occasional holiday package. They were cut off for a while due to a mudslide.
How was the mud this last winter where you were?
