Hawk,
I feel you pain. I know pretty much what you are going through as everything tends to go south the minute you leave. I'll send you a PM a little later about Balad as my daughter spent a year there in '05-06.

[Elko]

Best of luck to you and your family. I'm glad everyones okay.

[quote][/quote]montanamonkey, do ya know where you'll be in-country? I found out yesterday that I'll be in Camp Anaconda in Balad[quote]

Yeah, I guess I get to go to Baghdad this time. Was in Balad last year for 5 months, lots of stuff to do there compared to some places in the AOR. And man is it a big place! I think I get to hang out at home for about a month longer before I go though, that is nice, I was supposed to go next week. Even though it will get me home a month later! At least the fishing is good in Baghdad, and if you ever get to Talill, the fishing there is pretty good too. People sometimes think I am crazy for saying that, but there are some big fish in Iraq! Take it easy over there,

[M.Bird]

If you transit though The Deid, drop a note, like to meet you

ABert, thanks man, I'll be lookin' for the PM. I was talkin' to one of the guys I'm heading there with and was told we'll be on the SPECWAR side of the house over there.
As for things going south when a deployment starts...you ain't kiddin! Last time I went on PAC my wife totaled her car when she hit a deer going 55 mph. I told her I either have to stop deploying or she has to take the bus when I'm gone!

montanamonkey, thanks for the info. I'll keep the fishin' in mind!

M.BIRD, send me a PM and if I find myself in your neck of the woods I certainly look ya up!

God bless you and your family and you all keep safe
