    veterans day overseas pic


    Here is pic I took in Taji Iraq. It was a "boneyard" of a whole lot of older military equipment. I'm sure most was given by Russia or us. A scrappers dream aswell. Yes we did tag that tank and multiple other pieces. It was a once in a lifetime event. I was not worried about any punishments. Fun day! Looong day! Oh yea I'm on the far right.

    depleted uranium is the only downside, I think all the time I spent around them is the reason my boys don't swim.

    I was there in 09-10. I missed all the "fun". And no his name is Victor. Also yes uranium is bad. We had a guy in our unit who I guess got near some or something. And now he needs a heart transplant. I dont know the whole story tho.
