Hey everyone, I finally made it to Iraq after spending several days in Qatar. As soon as I got here they told me that the next night I would be the team chief w/ 2 other first-time deployers on a 8 hour convoy to the FOB that I will be stationed at. I was a little blown away and maybe a little nervous. Anyway, we made it safely thanks to Wiki's mad driving skills. It turns out that the FOB is awesome and we are pretty hooked up. So, after being here for a few days, we go out on our first mission, which is a demoltion opp at night. Here are some of the pics.
There were a lot of flares and illuminating projectiles in the batch that gave it a nice 4th of July feel.
Funny story, while we were out there, my teamate Wiki, desperatly had to use the bathroom and didn't quite make it in time. Therefore, he was searching for some new pants to wear in the truck when he came across our team leader's chemical warfare pants. I personally think he looks like Mr. Tumnus.
Here are some pics of me setting up the shot. And yes, that is a moustache.
