Good to hear all is okay. Take care and stay safe.

Jesse,

i can ship out some paperbacks if you tell me what you like.
or some food/candy/gum etc if those things are in short supply.

Jesse,

You are doing a fantastic job. You are doing a better job than I could do, and better than the critics could do as well.

I do expect a full report on Hummer configurations though

Take care and feel free to email me with your shipping address so I can send some items courtesy of the red-white-blue.

No matter what people think about the war, guys like you are the true heroes simply by dooing your job. Happy to hear you are OK, get home soon and post some pics of those odd hummers.

Great to hear from you Jesse. Glad to know you are keeping safe as you can. Do appreciate your service.

Well said.

Glad to hear you are okay, Jesse. Nice to know some of the guys are looking after you.
Hope you get back with your family soon.

Matt

Glad to hear from you and that your ok
great work your doing over there,
Keep safe

Let me know what, when, and where to send and I'll send it. Almost anything (model related).

Here's hoping that that bout of 'steel rain' will be your last mate. And if not, may they bounce back to the guys that fired them at you.

Keep well, keep safe....but most of all keep sane.

i managed to get online again, this is good, hehehe
one of the biggest things that we have in short supply is good coffee! i think that the guys that make the coffee here are most likely not coffee drinkers, it's either to weak or way to much like syrup? and it's also not enough, one cooler full definatelly not enough!
I did manage to "acquire a coffee maker, hehehe".

we had some bad things happen last night, but none of us got hurt but you guys will probably hear it on the news or read about it in the paper?
FFI

we have some odd weapons floating around here, we have a wehrmacht m98 and an mp-44 ( the first one of the assault rifles/the one kalishnikoph supposidly coppied?) and a whole slew of captured mortars and such.
i got pics

it might be a while before i can post any as i think we can't mail out film here, so i'll take it home with me if i get R&R leave for 14 days?

well, i'll tey to get some good detailed shot of those hmmwv's for yall and some of the engineer dump trucks and 5 tons and the other cool goodies, also 1st ID brads don't have the tows on them due to IED's so that'll help out anyone building a 1st id brad i hope?

o-yeah, and none of us are really alowed to put names on our tracks either, cept spec ops it seams?
well, my time is almost up, gotta get going, take care all, my head is in the sand bags and i'm like the weasel from looney toons, roger out...........................

Good to hear from you Jesse! It sounds like you're making the best of things while you're there anyway. Stay safe bro!

Eric

Stay safe, Jesse!

Keep your spirits up and your head down, mate.. Say hi to any Brits you pass..

Jesse, Great to hear from you!

So, no wonder Iraq is a desert, if they keep targeting sod with mortars.... I wonder if killing grass is a priorty mission? Glad to hear you're well. Best regards to you and your 'fam'.

Ron

Give em' Hell and stay safe Jesse.

Okieboy

Good luck, Jesse. Keep your head on a swivel and check your six. Hope this sees you safe at home soon.

No football? And they call that place a budding democracy?

Hey Jesse, teach that Sadr guy the Sadr House Rules, ok?

Michaelvk i believe britain pulled out of Iraq after one of their bombers got destroyed by a US patriot missle.

i'm not sure what it looks like in Iraq or the US, but here in Canada is seems that Bush should pull out of Iraq soon.

Keep safe Jesse

The British are very much still there.

Here's a suggestion for everybody's consideration. This guy is serving his country, in harm's way, as a member of its armed forces. No matter what out political opinions are, we should try to limit our comments to encouragement and good wishes, and bring the political discussions to one of the other forums. Fair deal?

I was waiting for a ride home today, and two old guys were talking about how it was extremely hard for you guys-you know, fighting day and night, with night vision in 100 degree heat, and that you guys hate it. hmmm, what do you think?

Real Stg44's???! How in the H*** did they get a hold of one of those?? You guys could start up a fund-put it on E-Bay, and start buying some stuff! lol, get your own business goin! Just watch out for us, okay? when you get back, we can get involved in a couple a group builds!

whoe, easy Larry_Dunn. i did not mean any offence by it, sorry if it came out wrong i was just saying that he may be coming home soon, and to hang in there.

Sorry if i offended or angered anyone.

Im with Larry on this one.
Denmark also have troops in Iraq and no matter how I or anybody else feel about the war I believe its our duty to support them.
My wishes for your safe return Jesse.

Don't forget to come home safe Jesse
A guy showed me some pictures of the gulf war in the early 90s and there was a picture of a t34/76! A lot of the tanks had run out of gas and like the others, they were still fully operational!
But finding a mp44 is amazing. Wanna mail it to me?

And easy is, in fact, exactly the way I took it. I don't think I went off on you. I just made a suggestion.

oh yeah, my , Poland(just gotta express my heritage because I am proud of it) also has some troops there! Albeit that the US guys like our guy Redleg are better, the poles are also around though there are not many.

Redleg, give'em somthin for me ok?

PS, seen any Poles lately?

Glad all is well Jesse. Stay safe and come home soon!

Can't name the tracks? Sounds a little un-democratic to me
Of course WWII Pilots were NOT supposed to paint names on their aircraft at first either.
