Ok,
Before I went to Germany I shaved the beard down to a goatee.
That seemed to be working out ok but Kern put it best when he saw it "Seems like it is becoming a bit unruly".
I agreed with this and shaved it while I was there.
This time I have a trimmer for when it gets to long and out of control.
I am going to try a full beard again and if that fails I will fall back on the goatee again.
Hehehe anyway enough about my facial hair habits.
Another warm day in Iraq.
Gerry gave me a bit of inspiration with the pic of him on the .50cal
So I asked a couple of good Army buddies of mine at the front gate when they where going to let me pop a few rounds off.
(And of course because I fixed 2 of their laptops the day before I have been invited to their next round at the range.)
They also noted a few other items that will be on the menu.
.50cal
M-16
12 Gauge Shotgun
SAW
Anyway....I am still hanging out at the same site since I came back from home leave.
All is well and I am safe.
If I had to be stuck somewhere for this amount of time I could not have picked a better spot. The people here are really cool and the site its self has quite a bit to do and see.....and of course there is PLENTY of work to do.LOL.

Yeah it's freakin' hot here just as Jason said... man, just walking a certain way in the wind felt like it was burning parts of my skin. I hear it's gonna be even hotter today. Wonderful. Anyways, we're busy as all hell here... I mean BUSY. BUUUSSSSYYY. Believe it or not, our shooting yesterday was more for stress relief than entertainment... Though that .50 cal was too cool... Oh well, back to radios.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: .50 CAL
Gerry,
Those are some badass pics!!!!
Shooting a .50 CAL out here is a rare thing since all the sites do not have them except for a couple.
Get in as much of that as possible man....
The people in the pic are probably Bedewins.
It is sad the way they live out here. Alot of the time we catch them trying to sneak into the ASP to get brass off of the shells.
Usually they will end up detonating the device.
At the camp I am at we have actually begun removing the brass and then destroying the rest. We then crush the brass and give it to them as long as they promise to stop trying to sneak in. It seems to be working for now.

Zero: Here's an interesting one...
This family was scavenging the land for anything they could use or salvage when we came through to blast a few rounds. They politely vacated the area and quietly watched us safely from the berm behind us while we blasted away laughing and and hollering the whole time... We felt bad that we were leaving them with nothing as they picked through the smoke and spent casings we left behind. Before leaving, Joe and I stopped to give them some food and water. They were so happy and greatful to us that they allowed me to take their picture, all the while saying things like "Thank you, thank you", "We love America", and "US is number 1". I think out of all the pictures I took today, this one is the best.

Well....Today was not so bad on the weather side....It seemed to peak out in the high 120's and we had a nice hot breeze. Anyway....Last night I helped change my first tank tread. Not as difficult as I thought it would be but still a pain. I started to talking to a tank crew that was working late last night and thought I would give them a hand. (Maybe I can get them to give me a ride some time...) Well thats it for today I will be on again soon.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: Talkin about the weather
Well,
Today the needle reached up to the 130 degree mark.
I never knew how much of a diffrence 10 degrees could make.
I was just starting to be able to bare 120 but it jumped up higher.
Working outside in 130 degree heat in a religous experiance in its self.
After being outside directing some of the camp workers my skin was burning hot.
This was not because I was getting sunburned even though I am sure that was happening too but just the hot air outside was almost unbearable.
When you are driving if you are hot rolling down the windows is not a good idea.
It is like a hair dryer on full blast on your skin.
Anyway....enough babling....

Gerry,
I agree with you completely about the the AK, while it may be fun to shoot the bullets just seem to fly all over the place...
I have got to go to the range several times since I have been here and have shot a variety of weapons including the M-4, AK, M-16 and SAW I think if I had to choose one to carry with me I would probably choose any of the above except the AK. The AK in my opinion is good for spray and pray and dragging through the mud but god forbid you had to hit something at 100 meters.
Anyway....keep up the good work down in Ashraf.....

Zero: Thanks
Yeah, it's been a challenge so far but more rewarding than anything else. I realize that I've spent way too much time working in a cube and am enjoying the hands on work here. Everything's been pretty cool so far and the people here are for the most part great. People here, I learned, love their internet... and therefore their IT guy when he gets it up and running.
I also went shooting a few days ago... An AK and a few pistols... among other things. And although the AK is a blast to rock out to in full auto, I'm still not a big fan of it. I'd rather have an M-16 or M-4 with ACCURATE sights and better handling any day. 'Just an opinion from the firepower-obessed gun junky I am.
Jason- Have a great time at the range. It's an awesome feeling to have the whole desert as your personal firing range. 'Just remember to bring some targets to shoot at.... I find watermelons are ideal. I'm jealous you might fire the SAW.... I'm still working on it... and hopefully an M-2 .50 cal too.
Kern- Awesome. I hear the clock is now ticking on your CRC flight. Great news. PACK LIGHT.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: Good Job Gerry
Well it is official Gerry has setup and aligned his first satlelite dish on his own with no or very little help. I talked with Spencer today our boss and he said Gerry is doing a AWESOME job and I agree... Gerry has hit the ground running and looks like he is having a good time doing it. I look forward to meeting up with him here in the next couple of weeks.
Why do I have Beach Boys - I get around - in my head- Any ideas anyone?
RTEU (Red Team Expidionary Unit) is doing good and reinforcements are on the way. Kern has a confirmed CRC date of August 8th.... Come on down and join FuN!
I am gonna hit the range pretty soon with our security guys here and hopefully I will get a chance at the SAW again....*Fingers Crossed* I will have pics this time.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: Game Reviews
Well,
I have finally got aound to installing and setting up some of the gadgets that Kern brought me.
I have installed Battlefield Vietnam, Painkiller and the Euro version of Vietcong. I actually sat down and played Battlefield Vietnam for about an hour. The game is pretty cool on single player but I imagine it will be 10 times better playing online or in a LAN Game. I think the best feature in the game is the music option when you get into a vehicle. If you get into a vehicle and press zero a list of vietnam era music will appear. You can also add your own MP3's into the music list. Now this feature may be the best however it is also one of the worst. You can listen to music when you are in Vehicles however when you exit the vehicle the music turns off and you cannot turn it back on. This sucks because you could be jamming out to some good music while flying the UH-1 Huey around and then you land to get out and kick some a$$ and the music is gone. This is somewhat frustrating. It is a good thing the game comes with a MOD editor. If I get some extra time I am going to sit down and see if I can correct this. All in all the game gets 2 thumbs up from me. I like all the improvments and new features alot. Only other down point is there are not alot of maps but I think this is why the game dev's give you the map editor and the mod editor with the game. Anyway...I recommend getting the game if you have not already pirated my version from when Kern had it...hehehe...
Review for Pain Killer,
Not much to say here....Just think Quake 1 with 10 times better graphics...Very Very Cool, 2 thumbs up.

Glad to see more and more people picking up the posting.
I am on the beard path again going for a second try...It is starting out pretty good but it could go CRAZY again. Anyway..I will try to post more and more.

in regards to "the songs sound like they are in the same key"
Yeah, they all happened about the same time and i have put them all together before, but without being able to hear the music while recording or have the ability to edit them together once i was finished i decided to leave them in pieces... believe me - its better this way.
they're the only somewhat-pleasing chunks music ive been able to vomit from my fingers in a long time so i figured i'd pass them on... since i wont have the opportunity to play in Iraq (and it is now official - i leave on the 8th for Ft. Bliss)
well if you have any interest to do anything with them - feel free.
if not - then dont... *ebonics* its alllll good yo*/ebonics*

Well...Good News,
Gerry is now in Kuwait safely.
He has been there for 3 days living in the hell known as Camp Doha.
I personally have never been to Doha as when I came in they were still using Camp Wolf.
Doha is a nightmare for trying to get a flight into Iraq and Gerry is currently living that hell as we speak.
Hopefully he will soon catch a C-130 into Iraq.
It is undetermined where he is going after that as of this point but I am sure he will let everyone know once he has arrived safely to his destinations.
As for the previous post that Kern put up about the "Cyber".
I started to cry I was laughing so hard....LOL
Especially the one about the Gulf War vet.
Anyway, Once Gerry gets in country I am sure you will hear from him.

Jason Nvidia has a match the 6800 with some random extention to it but the x800 has an xt model coming out soon if not already out which will be far superior to both of the other to.
but nothing can compare to my Ti 4600 marvel of enginering graphics and heat production. It is not only a video card but also an efficient heater for my room on those cold nights. I must go now the call of retarded users is beckoning me to fix their problems and then kill them.

here are some of my favorite trevor memories so far (not finished reading it yet):
-----------------------
"eminemBNJA: Oh I like that Baby. I put on my robe and wizard hat."
---------------------------------
"bloodninja: It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass."
---------------------------------
"Sweetheart: I take your hand and kiss it softly.I'm reaching back undoing the clasp. The bra slides off my body. The air caresses my breasts. My nipples are erect for you.
Wellhung: How did you do that? I'm picking up the bra and inspecting the clasp."
---------------------------------
"Girl: HARRRRRRRRRRRR"
-----------------------
there are more i would LOVE to add, but they are a little too ... Colorful
"Kern: I think i just ruptured something laughing so hard... time for bed"
P.S. - sorry about the title... i just needed some extreme form of exclamation without any potty type!

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: The Mother Of All Video Cards
****CAUTION: THIS POST CONTAINS NERD TALK****
Ok...There I was just browsing the video cards on ATI and I stumbled across this magnificent wonder. The ATI RADEON X800 **Dramatic Music Follows**.
I am sure that all my fellow people that follow this type of improvement aka: Nerd or Geek has already heard of this wonder.
Now I know some of you are NVIDIA fans still and will not come out of the dark ages. Please feel free to post any testing you have seen between this card and the NVIDIA counter part (Which I do not think there is one this powerful but whatever). I have just learned of this card and ATI is claiming it to be the most powerful Graphics card on the market for gamers. Let me know what you think.
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx800/index.html
BTW: A good look would be to compare on the ATI sites product comparison tool is to take the Radeon 9800XT the X800 and the X800 Platinum edition. The big difference I saw was between the X800 and the X800 Plat.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: Halo Tournament and Kern's Trip
Kender, Adam,
Sounds like you guy's had fun reaping carnage in Halo. You will have to save a seat for me when I come home in October. I have been brushing up a little. One of the camps has 2 X-Boxes networked and they pretty much play Halo all the time. I find it interesting when ever any of us play a cooperative game toghether we end slaughtering eachother (All in good fun of course). The onlytime I remember it being Malicious is well I think we all know who I am talking about *(Cough)*Gerry*(Cough)* *(Cough)*Team Killer*(Cough)* but I am not going to name names here. I will say there is a reason he is ALWAYS on point when we play. hehehehe....
Kern,
Awesome to hear that everything went ok in Pasadena. Please inform me ASAP of your scheduled CRC date so I can get you on the schedule of when you will be coming in theature. Hehe that's military lingo LOL. Anyway now that I am done being nerdy I just thought I would let everyone know that I up north again and safe and sound. Not sure on when I will be heading back to Baghdad.

It is good to hear from you. Enjoy your time in CRC. Don't get sick of MRE's just yet as you can eat as many as you want when you get here, LOL. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you here and have a safe trip.
PS> Be sure to check your Parsons email at least once a day as we will be sending out more updates for you and your schedule may change. Once you get to Kuwait please be sure to try and check your email at the USO tent. Doha is a pretty decent place and is I have heard it is 100 times better than Camp Wolfverine was so hopefully it will not be that bad.
As for DOOM 3 I tend to agree with Gerry on this one. We are probably looking at next year. However, this annoucement may be enough incentive for Sierra to get off there ass and release Half Life 2.

Briefings, briefings, briefings... that's pretty much all. Lunch consisted of the usual MRE and I watched a few movies later that night. Apparently no one here has seen Boondock Saints.... but they all love it now. Heh...
Kevin; 'cant wait for Doom 3, although I'd have no problems betting money that it won't be out until I get back. Also, check out FarCry... it's good.
I might not be able to continue these nice little status reports for a few days. Until then: Fight the good fight.

Ok, now this time it's not my fault that I'm late. Blogger went down again last night. Anyways, yesterday we went ahead and did our PATS test (made sure that our gas masks didn't leak) and got our CAC cards. They screwed up on my rank and grade, but oh well. I'm not about to stand in line again just to get one lousy number changed. I also got the Alienware computer which is cool, but the other package containing the carrying case was sent to the wrong address, which is not cool. Oh well, Fedex said I should have it by Friday.
Jason, well, CRC in all is not that bad. I've met some pretty cool people here and our liberty has been pretty awesome. I took a tour of El Paso and rode along the Mexican/US border fence for awhile... though I couldn't help but try to look for holes in the fence. We also ate at a pretty good Tex Mex restaurant, passed through parts of New Mexico and climbed a mountain... the Sun Bowl actually; but it's built on the side of a mountain. I jogged up to the top of the stands and took a few pics. I'll try and get them up someday. It's good.

Gerry,
Well....All I can say is that I feel your pain. But at least you can say that almost all that hard stuff is over with. You must have a small class like mine because you guys are actually going pretty quick through all the stuff. I have heard the horror stories of the classes of 500. Ohhh yes they did 1 event each day. 7 hours standing in line. I am extreamly grateful mine was small. Anyway, just remember that in 1 year and you are done with Iraq and ready to go home.....You have to go back to CRC for another week of hell turning all that stuff they gave back in......Well...Kepp you spirits up. Catch a bus to the mall and visit the hooters there. Drink some good beer and eat good because it will be awhile before you get it again. Email me if you have any questions or need any help. HAVE FUN.

Alright, back to the present. Not too bad today. I took some prety cool pics of the surrounding mountains here (yes there apparently are mountains in Texas). I also got all my issued gear. 'Still working on getting all the crap they gave me to fit in one C-Bag... Now for the bad news. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be allowed to go up to the range to fire and qualify with the M-16 and M-9. Also, all the gear they gave me, including my helmet, is in woodland camouflage instead of desert... What the f*ck good is that gonna do? There aren't enough colorful metaphors and expletives for me express in full about this so I'll just keep this short: I'm pissed. All that aside, I did manage to catch a bus to the PX and get most of the gear I actually need... like desert boots instead of cold weather insulated black boots... again, WTF?... Ah well, it is the military after all. I also get my laptop tomorrow, so hopefully by then I'll be able to actually get some pics up...
Oh yeah, my shoulder is still sore as hell... hmm.

I took at least 7-8 shots and my right shoulder is sore as hell. But the waiting was worse. Much worse. Although I did not have to get the smallpox shot... that's good. They said they didn't it give to me 'cause of my ecsema... I guess it was good for something after all.

I did not sleep much on the plane from London to Kuwait and I only got about 1 hour of sleep on the plane from Kuwait to Baghdad. Last night I only got about 5 hours. I am pretty tired as it is 10pm here now and I started work at 6am. Anyway enough of my complaining. It's back to buissness as usual here not much to report.

me: Facial Hair
Jason i have recently heard of your goatee experience and that it may have not been as successful as you may have hoped. But do not get discuraged in this department for it is not your fault it is a curse on the entire red team. For example right now Tim kind of looks like a yeti of some sort and me kind of a half way down syndrom type of thing, and well we all know how messed up and hopless Ashely is. So grow your akward facial hair and ware it with the pride the Walmart greeters have.

man ... my sleeping schedule is ALL messed up now... glad to see things are back in order, heh.
anyway - as everyone knows the trip is over *queue sighing*, but it was a bitchin trip!
good times, good times. I am very thankful that Jason allowed me to do a little Remora action and experience Europe (Remora action = taggin along... or does it? *queue Austin Powers tiger growl*).
I'm going to try to put together some sort of site for the pics so everyone can thumb through them at will, but it may take a couple of days cause theres gonna be ALOT of resizing and whatnot.

Well, here I am at Fort Bliss. I pretty much spent the whole day rushing to wait hours at a time for things as trivial as getting bedsheets and my name on a roster. Ah well. Things are pretty good though; I've already met a lot of cool people here and had some good times. They've also told us that communication is pretty open here, so feel free to drop me a call before I leave here. I've got my cell.
Yeah... I think things are gonna be ok.

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: 2 Week trip in 1 paragraph
Hello All,
Well sorry for not posting in quite some time. Just a quick go over of the vacation up to this point. We started in Berlin...very cool city and very modern. We saw the bradenburg gate and a few pieces of the Berlin wall. Then we took the train to Frankfurt. The train is awesome...I highly recommend it but if you do make sure you get 1st class tickets. Anyway Frankfurt was ok but a bit of a dirty town compared to Berlin, we only stayed there 1 night and then it was off to Paris. When we got to Paris it was nice. The city is full of culture in almost every building. I did not encounter any of French attitude that I was warned about and the language barrier was far less than Germany. Since we were only spending 1 day in Paris we needed a quick tour of the place. In front of the train station was a driver with a really nice Benz. I hired him for 3 hours at 180 Euros. He took us to all the tourist sites and it was nice because we could stop and get out when we wanted and then continue on....Me and Kern both feel it was worth money and if you are ever there and have the cash I recommend it. We then took the train under the english channel to London. London is a very cool place however the dollar is not holding up to the pound and hotels and meals here are about 2 times what they are in the states. Anyway the first day we jumped on a double decker tourist bus and began riding. It is a good way to see London as you can get off when you want and there a multiple stops around the city to get back on again and they come by about every 10-20 minutes and the pass is good for 24 hours. It began to rain while riding the bus and we were up top in the open. We got soaked........really wet......Anyway the picture above is of the London bridge. Today I met up with a guy from the Parsons London office and he took us to the country and saw the Royal Naval Academy. Tomorrow we are finishing up the trip with Buckingham palace and a few other sites but then it is back to Kuwait on the 11th. I will try to post again with some more pictures tomorrow.

me: Battle with satan's minions
Sorry for the long absence but I was involed in an epic battle with a great and powerful goat of ancient times. He was by no means the king of these horrible and evil creatures but still a worthy foe, possibly a general. I had barly escaped from his soul trapping spell and shock wave mahahah. But lucky for me the enchanted, noble and gracful pigen of Antioch was just in time to block the attack with his sonic wings. Unfortuneitly for him my ability to judge friend from foe in battle is about as good as my spelling and the great pigen of Antioch is at the taxidermist. But after many long hours of battle I smot my enemy and burned his evil coarpse and smashed the satanic terrifing eyes.

El Feo Kern: say it aint so
ok... from jasons post I can only assume my abductors have replaced me with a clone in an attempt to avoid any suspicions of my capture. i have also found out that what i thought to be my friend and roommate "agent B.O.B" is really known by the code name "Perry Mason" and has been going to great extents to conceal what has gone on (aka - creating very convincing websites to add some length to this shroud)
to provide some proof on my behalf and help make people aware of my situation i have included the picture below
this is what they refer to as the "Junk Viewer"
they force you to open the blinds while you shower so they can... "view your junk"...
I dunno - these guys are vierd, ja
I will send more info when i can , but the guard is starting to get wise to the fact you dont need to type while you poop.
oh yeah ... theres a computer with an internet connection near the toilet... makes sense...
if you think about it...

Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: Hello Berlin, meet my big fat feet
Well...Today we did a little walking. We walked for maybe 3 hours all over the city. The pic above is one of my very bad attempts at trying to be artistic. Anyway the city is pertty cool. We saw alot of neat stuff and ran into some language barriers that were rather interesting. Anyway it looks like we are jumping on a train tomorrow to Frankfurt. I will try to post more along the way.

Zero: Awesome
To me, Bill Cosby was always one of those guys you couldn't help but like because of childhood nostalgia that included Jello Pops and Fat Albert. Now, after reading this, I'm proud to add 'respect', 'leadership', and 'honesty' to that list.

Zero: !!! Important Public Service Announcement !!!
Being the agent in Red Team that specializes in testing various compounds for edible and palatable consumption that no other Red Team member would dare touch, I took it upon myself to test the new chemical agent code-named "CocaCola: C2".
Do NOT, I say again, do NOT handle or attempt to consume this vile and hazardous product!
Do NOT be fooled by it's attractive and "cool" looking packaging. Side effects of important note include physical and mental pain as well as disturbingly vivid nightmares and lack of sleep. I only pray this stuff doesn't have any lasting long term affects... the pain.. oh, god... make it stop...

El Feo Kern: is dead
My plane must have gone down somewhere over the Atlantic because the place i am now can only be described as heaven.
I'll give you guys more details when you die... I might haunt you to fill you in, but then i'd have to leave... yeah , no thanks.
but seriously, if you ever have the chance to get a lay-over at Heathrow make sure you have AT LEAST business class... it is soooo worth it.
Anyway - My flight to Berlin is going to be arriving soon so i gotta go.
so much to tell... and i havent even met up with Jason yet.
p.s. - Fuck turbulence, that is all
