Bye bye, for now.

daTS

I have block Christmas leave from the 18th December to the 4th January, in which I will be spending time with my close family and friends. Late January/Early February, I'm leaving for Desert Warfare Advanced Combat Training. April 14th, I deploy with the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 227th Air Cavalry Regiment to Habbaniyah Airfield outside Baghdad, Iraq.

Good luck kids.

Hmm, please watch for snipers, IEDs and carbombs. Also the occasional bombtruck. It's been pretty restless there lately. Oh, we shouldn't be cursing, damnit.

Good luck with your training! Who knows, you might get the Medal of Honor if you get some big-headed terrorist with a huge-ass bomb #Tongue

One of my buddies drove a Humvee in Afganistan, and a guy blew himself up in front of it. Left a mess and a lot of damage, but no one was killed, except the suicider..
Not much left of him besides a leg and a head

good luck my friend and please try and check in once and a while. And do not loose your cell this time!

I wont be taking my cell. Verizon doesn't work over there, so I'm putting my contract on hold.

I'll more than likely return alive and well. I don't really go on convoy's that much. I work with the VSAT terminals, which are mostly stationary.

Well, terrorism is about fear. Not about mission success and killrates.

Fear is the mindkiller. Kill fear, and you will be truly free, forever.

Goodbye, Antihero.

Heroes are boring, but anti heroes, those guys are the shit.

I mean that in a good way, if you don't recognize that phrase.

Good luck. I know my dad had it bad, really bad. But it's actually gotten safer for the troops, and for what you're doing you won't be staring into the faces of the insurgents.

That's what happens when a revolt against an invading force changes to civil war and internal power shifts within revolutionary factions.

Good luck AntiHero. Bring back some good modding ideas.

B4 you go,first,good luck.(Hey,maybe you'll see around there an romanian battalion Very Happy

there are lots of deployed units there).

Secondly,how did you make that glass effect in your siggie?

Lt Albrecht · Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:19 am Post subject:

Yo Dats, if you're deployed with any Brit units remember that our Government are Tight-arses and the troops only have half the equipment they need, so share the helis with winches if you can, thanks.

the 1st Cavalry Division is pretty secular. We don't, for the most part, associate with foreign units.

The glass effect is just a new layer with a white curve, with opacity to about 50%.

Keep your head down, lock & load.... bah, who am I to give advice? You know what to do, so good luck.

You know what? I play alot of Dawn of War (WH40K, remember, google), my Win/Lose rate is like 0 to +1; I bet it could be alot better, if I kept more of my soldiers alive....

Lets hope your commander isn't a cold calculating dick like me.

But believe me, I DO want to change!
