Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: WOW....That was fun!!
Hello All,
Well I am back in Baghdad now. Just a little summary of my trip. I went to Fallujah for 2 days and all was calm. I then got a ride out to an air base called Al Asad. It was a decent place but I got many sand flea bites there. I had to see the medic here in Baghdad and they gave me some pills and cream to put on. They said if they turn dark red and get hard then I have to be tested for Leach Manyisis.....Not fun...Keeping Fingers crossed. Anyway the fun part about the trip was all the cool former Iraqi crap I saw at Al Asad such as MIG's and what not. Unfortunately I broke my camera in Kuwait when I was there and it is being repaired.....Sorry no Pics of this trip. Anyway the BEST part was the ride back. I got an oppurtunity not many contractors in this country get. I rode a Blackhawk back here from Al Asad.....This to say the least was THE SH!T...We rode with the doors open and I go a side seat. Since we had some brass with us we stopped at a remote cache site and I got to see a 500 ton blast...The most that has been odne in the country....To see roughly 1 mile in diameter of earth explode into the the air with a HUGE mushroom cloud was awesome....Anyway...It was alot of fun and I have now bought a new camera because I was very upset I got no pics of any of it. But I will be sure from now on to make sure I have a camera with me at all times. Anyway....enough for now. I am safe again in our desert resort in Baghdad were the current temp in 110 degrees all dry heat. What's going on with you guys back there?
