How are all my old buds doin?
It has been pretty busy around here. Working about 16 hours most days. Trying to get these Iraqi's trained up so we can get the heck outta here and go fight somewhere else.
Weather has been chilly mostly at nights, warming up to the 60's in the day. Luckily it hasn't rained much yet to turn everything into mud but i am sure its coming.
Hope ya all are gittin after them coyotes for me while I am gone. Surprisingly they have a small jackal here I see running around at night sometimes. Looks almost identical to a coyote. Wish I could bust a few of them!
Well, take care everyone. I hope ya all had a nice time during the holidays.

Re: Greetings from Iraq
Old School....good to hear from you, bud. Rest well knowing that spot you told me about here out east of town still holds a good number of Ole Wiley. I'm savin' a bunch for your return to The World.
Stay low, keep vigilant, and know we all appreciate what you guys (and gals) are doing for us. You are NOT forgotten being over there. Come home safe.

Re: Greetings from Iraq
OldSchool - Be sure to know that the fact I/we can hug our kids tonight has everything to do with who and where you are. Thank you, and your fellow soldiers. We all owe a great deal to you, and despite the media there are a great many that think the most of you and your kind.
Also keep us updated on how you're doing if you can. I'm sure I am not the only one that would be interested on your thoughts on how things are going over there.
Also, let us know if there is anything over here that we could do for you. Seriously.
