I'm on my third vacation here was well. Spent time in OIF II, then came back for a couple months in '05. Now I'm on the homestretch (6 months left) of a 15 monther. Decided not to take R&R this time around too, so it seems a little bit longer, but I hate saying good bye twice. I've been North, I've been South, and I've been in between (Mosul, Balad, Um Qasr aka Bucca). So, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!
-Edited to say: Be careful of the pictures you post, especially those taken on posts. The Army and probably the other services as well are really cracking down on OPSEC. Just wanted to warn you all so no one gets themselves busted. Beautiful pictures though... I've seen plenty of that with my own eyes.
