After 7 months my deployment to Afghanistan is coming to a end. I'm in Krzygstan and should be in the states on Sunday. It's been an exciting/terrifying/interesting time, but I am real glad to be coming home! I got to be a part of the invasion of the city of Marjah, saw a couple buddies trucks get blown up, got shot at (couldn't shoot back), etc.

I bought a Nikon D5000 so I've got some great pics and movies to upload and I'll link you guys to em when I get em up.

Also, I got myself a new ride to keep the 70 chevy truck company... And I'll post pics of that a little later also. Wink

Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome back! I've done 3 tours through Afghanistan myself. How was Manas with the whole government overthrow going on? Looking forward to seeing some of your pics and movies.

Welcome back Jess! Glad you made it through in one piece! I missed Desert Storm by two months and am thankful everyday that I never had to go through what you and so many of my buddies did. USA

Glad to hear that you're coming home, and glad to see that you're well, too! Thumbs up

Haha, yeah... It'saaa meeeee... Joe.

I put some pics up on my facebook, but they are not full res, and it's just a sample.

As for the car... go there ----> http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3852563 to check it out. Cool

It's business as usual in Manas right now. Just finished up customs (couldnt keep my sling shot I bought from a kid), but everything else went well.

Our company as a whole came out pretty good all things considered. We had one KIA, and about 15 purple hearts awarded, and a ton of combat action ribbons. I was the only Marine in my section to actually be a casualty, but I am totally fine now. Just some scars to help me remember.

Anyways, it's good to get back in touch with everybody!

An old school caddy engine is probably the closest thing you can get to duramax torque without going diesel! Laughing
