Still alive in Iraq...

decodeddiesel · 08-24-2003, 01:25 PM

Well I know it has been a hell of a long time, but I finally got on a system and had a little time to drop a line. Yeah I'm still alive, yeah war is hell, yeah I want to go home.

It has been a long time since posting anything on Procooling...I wonder if anyone will even remember me. Things are going fairly well here in hell (aka Iraq). They tell us the war is long since over (though we are still getting killed and hear constant small arms fire at night) and what not. I for one just want to go home.

Thinking I will put together some hella Dually Xeon system when I get back...and buy a new car....and get buy a hell of a lot of alcohol. Well anyway good to see procooling is still alive, you'll be sure to see me around with my usualy questions and comments when I do get back to the states. Take it easy guys, God Bless America.

Great to hear you are ok decoded. Hope you make it home soon to you wife, your liquor cabinet, and your computer

Brians256 · 08-24-2003, 01:56 PM

We certainly haven't forgotten you, decoded. I am just glad you are safe.

God bless America indeed.

Give em hell, man.

fafaflowie · 08-24-2003, 04:24 PM

God Bless you!

Salute!

If my years of simulated warfare have tought me anything if you are under fire remember to circle strafe!

Good luck man!

bigben2k · 08-24-2003, 05:48 PM

I was just about to look you up man! I've been wondering what's been going on with our Psych warfare rep out there!

Hang in there: you'll be home soon enough. Stay safe.

May God be with you.

jaydee · 08-24-2003, 07:06 PM

Take care man! Hope to see you back on the forums!

Joe · 08-25-2003, 01:26 PM

Take it easy man and keep low

Puzzdre · 08-25-2003, 04:09 PM

Take care, and come home on both your legs!
War IS hell...

Good luck man!

airspirit · 08-25-2003, 04:24 PM

Screw GOD being with you: may the SCHWARTZ be with you! That might come in mighty handy ....

What unit are you with?

I've got a ton of friends still over. (I'm out now)

Best of luck and keep your head down. With any luck at all you managed to not get stuck in 4ID and get to come home soon.

You are in our thoughts.

I am with Psy-Ops Advisory attached to 101st ABN (AASLT) in Mosul, Iraq. 4th ID is a bunch of pussies....well, not really but they did mis all of the fun. I've been in the region since January (mainly Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) and here in Mosul since the 101st rolled in in April. Yeah, I was on the front lines kicking ass when the shit hit the fan in the end of March. Killed me some Iraqis ded...heh...D - E - D ded...(excuse me too much sun) I am not schedualed to come home untill March 2004. I will probably hav 2 birthdays here in Iraq, on top of missing my first aniversery with my wife.

Thanks everyone who wrote back, it is good to know people still remember who I am....I know I have been rather spookish latley. Anyway I am gonna go watch a movie at the MWR tent so take it easy all.

wow, I figured you would have more inet access over there.

Anyhow, isnt that an unusually long tour of duty? But as mentioned, give em hell.

Brians256 · 09-01-2003, 03:00 PM

Good job, decoded. Darwin in action buddy. Anyone stupid and/or evil enough to try and defend Saddam needed some enlightenment.

America's system ain't perfect, but it is a heck of a lot better than what they put up with over there.

phreenet · 09-01-2003, 03:11 PM

Don't make it sound like too much fun

Bignuts · 09-01-2003, 03:27 PM

Make sure you stay sharp.

iroc409 · 09-02-2003, 05:36 AM

best of luck, and my respects for serving for our country.

keep your head down, and the safety off
