hey everyone i havent been on in a while and i jsut wanted to let everyone know im doing ok and im still in iraq, However i did incounter some minor complications. A few weeks ago The finance office were i work here in iraq had a rocket come through the front door and destroyed most of the insides of the office. Dont worry no one was seriously injured, there was only one person in the office when it happened and he only substained a busted ear drum and a bump on the head when the drop celing caved in. The shocking thing about that was he was only 3 feet from were the rocket landed (god was definatly on his side). I have pictures however my image optimizer wont let me save nomore so i cant up load them on here at the moment. But just want to let everyone know im doing ok. | ||

Gomo, I strongly support that we all promote sending needed and wanted goods to our troops abroad, but I strongly suggest that we let everyone send stuff on their own. Okay? Thanks for understanding. Would you please then edit out the solicitation in your post above. Thanks, I know your intentions were nothing but 100% honorable. Thanks, Blake (custodian) | ||

Blake - Understood, no problem. | ||

Thanks for all you guys do over there! I just have to wonder though, with all the targets in Iraq, why in the heill would that pick the finance office?  I feel much safer now! Take care and be careful! Nick | ||
| Redhatbuell  |
Vegas, I know what you mean. If their finance office is anything like ours, nothing gets done there anyway!  Talk about wasting your shot!! | ||

Firebolt020283 Keep your head down and you will be home in no time. I know because I just got back last night. Damn that plane ride home sucked. What camp are you at or can you say. I was at Camp Sather in the BIAP area. Take care man. | ||
| Blublak  |
Ditto what they all said.. Stay safe man.. Come home as soon as you can.. and uh.. Stay away from the finance office if they're targeting 'financial infrastructure'.. Later, | ||

Don. Thank You and your fellow troops. Keep your head down and your powder dry. And make sure to come home to do some Buelling soon. Henrik | ||

ok everyone is telling me to stay away from the finance office (i am finance)so does that mean i shouldnt go to work? red hat are u trying to say we dont work?  but seriously evryone thanks for ur soport the bad web is full of really great people the have been very soportive of us such as sgtbuell, bigsherm, me and all the others that have been here or are here now. sgt buell im in camp cuervo for the time being but im soposd to be going to kuwit here soon im just not sure when or were in kuwait. | ||

Dude, I was in Camp Cuervo from May 03 to April 04. It was Muleskinner base back then. Is the finance office still over by the hospital? I stayed in the barracks down by the clock tower, but I think they've turned that area over to the ICDC by now. Is there still a decent gym and PX there? They brought that stuff in right before we left out of there. Would have been nice to have the whole year... Sean | ||

Don, I know you don't have your bike as of yet. I'm thinking maybe someone can scare up copy of Fuell and send it to you. That should be some good bedtime drooling for you. If anyone has an extra issue or two maybe Don can give up his address and get him some worthy reading. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
Seanp: they did turn that part ot the icdc and they do still have the px and gym right there bye the toc. im not sure which of our offices u seen cuz we moved like 4 times but its were the post office used to be we had it renovated and it was really nice up untill last week. the camp has really gotten alot of improvements like the 3 battalions that are here are in the new barricks they were building, an they are building a new dinng facility right behind the one we have now. they closed down the liberty center though and built like a mall type palce in the hospital basement were intransit soldiers used to stay. and im not sure if they had the blue glass caffe when u was here or not but that really pretty building across from 2-8 cav is a restuarant now. oh and what unit are u in? as for as ur offer Bcordb3 that would be nice however im not going to be here but about a week or to then i am going to kuwait so it probly wont make it to me. | ||

I remember where the post office used to be. That's where the Finance office was when I was there too. It was on the backside of the building when I was there, because they were renovating it. So I guess the front part is the part that got hit, huh? Pisser. I don't even know what the liberty center is, since it wasn't there when I left. I was there with 4/2 ACR but we left in April of 04, so most of that stuff must be new. I know that the basecamp came a lonnnnnnngggg way during the 11 or 12 months we were there. I'm sure it's continued to grow and be better. I'll probably be back in a year or so, yay... |
