Baghdad Travel Blogs

Well today was the 4th of July, and like most holidays in Iraq came and went without a single mention of what we were missing back home.  I was able to take 14 of my guys to the pool on our FOB, and for 4 hours that day we forgot that we were even in Iraq.  Took our uniforms off, stripped…

Many people ask me about what I want to do in my life.  As I am sure many of you are also asked.  About a month ago I watched a movie called The Bucket List, which most have probably seen.  It was definitly a "B" movie, but it got my friend Preston (PostCard on TB) and me thinking as…

As I rise to my feet I grab my mat and roll it up. I walk into the next room where my son is sound asleep and lay it in the bed next to his head. Trying not to wake him I lean over to kiss him on his cheek but he opens his eyes. I tell him that I love him and to be a good young man and go back to s…

I have been able to see more of Iraq than I would have actually liked to have seen.  I first came over to sunny Iraq in 2003 with the US Army and got to visit all sorts of exciting places and to "meet" tons of new and interesting people.  I came back over to Iraq again in 2006 to work in …

An overview of my 2nd Operation Iraqi Freedom Tour.

Don't sort through my blogs for the good stuff. See em' here.

I am in the United States Army and just wanted to share some pics from Iraq. It really is a neat country. It has alot of history behind it and theres is some awsome architecture. Maybe one day when the war settles down it could be a nice place to come and visit and stay a while.

This will be a work in progress about sights and sounds in Iraq during my second tour.

Okay, I wanted to post some new pics but didn't want to write a Blog about everyone of them because they are from different places and different times. Every pic has a story of it's own so feel free to ask about any of them and I will be more than glad to answer. :)

Just a little trip down to Baghdad...having fun in the sun, sweating like I didn't think was humanly possible and going to the pool.

2007

My work often takes me to the beautiful nation of Qatar, and many surrounding nations. Although I've made this journey many times, I'll combine my blog into one specific time period.

In 2005 I was lucky enough to have our C-130 break in Amman Jordan. Jordan is an AMAZING place! Forget all the bad news from the middle east and get lost in history, amazement, wonder, and just a damn good time.

The process of coming home or at least stateside from combat is a long one to say the least.  It starts four days before you ever actually get home and takes you through all sorts of lines and inspections.  On the 9th of March I was able to turn in my weapon and other equipment and for th…

Swimming in Saddams pool, eating in his palace, playing pool, hitting the gym twice a day...... diving for cover when the rockets and mortars come screeching in, taking a kicking in an ambush, marathons on treadmills and MSN....... spending the equivalent of the national debt of a small country on Gucci kit and attachments for your weapons...who'd be a contractor / bodyguard / mercenary /
