All you OIF-I Vets

Tonight is your night.

18 years and counting.

When did you enter Iraq?




For me it was the night of April 3rd.

Full respect to all of the service members past, present and future. Thank you for your service.

But what the hell is the guy in the third pic doing with the rifle stock on top of his shoulder while looking through that non magnified red dot sight?

Probably trying not to die

Pulling security

Fair enough. It seems weird to me but I'm one of those useless bastards they are fighting for.

It's a snapshot in history.

Why be critical about it.

Whatever the 3rd day was; we moved into BIAP just as it was taken. Had a shot at some kudu that escaped from the zoo there, but wasn't fast enough.
Got kicked up to Balad in august. Flew and drove all over the country.
Hard to believe it was that long ago.

I just read Mattis' book Call Sign Chaos, it took me right back there....
