[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Update from Iraq (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 8/27/2004 11:40:41 PM EDT
Haven't had any mortar/rocket attacks in the last few days. Got a new ARMS SIR and BUIS for my M4 along with a new EOTech. Also recieved a scout scope mount and another EOTech for my M14. My oldest son had a near miss rocket strike the other day but luckely he's fine. Here's a pic of us together in Baghad a few weeks ago. He has since then turned in his Mossberg 590 for a Remington 870 MCS. It comes with a 10,14, and 18" bbls, pistol grip, full stock with grip, 4 chokes, and 3 different magazine lengths. Our minigun did recieve its baptism of fire down south last week. CD |
Hey, the M14 will always have it's place in the service of our Nation and the defense of its liberty! |

I do salute you and your family. I couldn't imagine being away from the family fighting in Iraq....let alone knowing my own son is there with me. I have four kids and I honestly don't know how I would handle it while my son was there. You are definitely a stronger man than me. The wife back home, your son in the combat zone with you and all the other stress that you have to deal with doesn't seem fair for one man to handle. You will be in my family's prayers tomorrow at Church. Keep your head up and know that there are lot of people's prayers with you here. God Bless, Ron |
Of course she is... Damn. I'm worried enough about some of "my" young soldiers that've been deployed, never mind a child of mine. I don't even want to think about having to do that. Wear your armor all the time, no exceptions for comfort or laziness. Keep your head down and your eyes open. And always know where the closest hole is. Bring your boy and "my" boys home in one piece.

Combat, I'm sorry, but that photo is badass. I appreciate what you are doing over there. I imagine there are many others that appreciate it more than I do ( Iraqi people ). Quick question - I've seen tons of Army folk over there with their sleeves still down. Doesn't anybody roll them up? Must get hotter n' hell in those BDUs. |
Blackjack, We still keep our sleeves down due to the fact that it's around 110 degrees out and you don't want to burn. We keep hydrated of course. That body armor gets quite hot! All, Thanks again for all the support and prayers. I'll try and get a pic of my tricked out M4 for you guys. CD |
Ah, I see. Well, don't fry over there. Keep yer asses covered! |
CD, You guys need anything? We can send you guys some *care packages* from home! |
You 2 keep your heads down and your powder dry. I am north of your location here w/TANGOCHASER...you 2 need ANYTHING, look me up. Nice scatter gun...use it well. And you have GE mini's on your trucks?...TELL ME MORE! That must keep the bad guys in serious check..checkmate that is....lol Take care, to you and your son, godspeed. BAYONET14 |
I really bust out in tears seeing son and father bonding in combat!
