I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers during my deployment to Kirkuk Iraq. I made it back in one piece and I think I still have my sanity. <img src=newicons/tard.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well i take it that deployment sucked.

If ya like, feel free to relate your tale to the board for medicinal purposes. I'm sure lots of folks would be very interested in what it was like.

At any rate, welcome home brother Hoglet.

Thanks all. The deployment wasn't actually that bad. Some leadership left alot to be desired though. (For those that have not seen the movie JARHEAD; that is what they call the desert. The Suck.)

Times Change, We just called it the "Sand Box" or the "Box"
But the "SUCK" is a pretty good word for it!

are you by chance from the KC unit? I saw them come through Pease last week with transit tanks.

Glad you're back safe and sound

I am from McGuire AFB. We did have a bunch of people from the McConnell Reserve CE unit come over on AEF 3/4.

Welcome back Soman, I was the KRAB NBC Ops NCOIC back in '05. Been back just a little more than a year now. The revamped 7 level course is now running one of our scenerios that we had encountered and the Haz-Mat ID's that CEX is now receiving spawned from a email that I had written to AFCESA when they had asked me on how to improve our capabilities.

Good to see the process actually works.

Oh yeah the HAZ ID still works there. We made some major modifcations to the storage area by building two Alaskan shelters and putting them back to back behind a expandable shelter. We also changed the back storage area into a mini theater with the one wall becoming a projection screen. It wasn't all that bad. Just wish we had some better leadership in certain positions. <img src=newicons/anim_bs.gif border=0 align=middle>
