Sadly I left the Army after 8 years and never had the privilege of serving in either.

My brother-in-law on the other hand was over in Iraq for 18 months as an interpreter / interrogator (he looks middle eastern). He just got out and went back over for to work as an interpreter / interrogator for a private company for another year.

A big THANKS to all those who served!

I did a whopping four months at Talil AB. It's down by An Nasirayah (not sure on spelling). I was in more danger while at Incirlik AB for my short tour over the 15 months than I was in southern Iraq. I think the Romanians shot at the Italians once though. I sure I was asleep while it happened.

Not sure if I qualify as a combat veteran since being shot at, road side bombed, almost blown up, or actually blown up (lost a few buds), just was not in the cards for me. To those of you who have my hat is off to you, that's for sure.

You sure do qualify to call yourself a combat vet! I have some buddies in Talil right now.

not sure about the rest of you guys, but a combat vet to me is a man that volunteered then showed up. just because you were fortunate doesn't mean you aren't a combat veteran.

i know i'm not going to promote i'm cooler cause i've seen more shit. we'd all lose to lambing anyway.

so welcome cole!
