As some of you might have guessed from some of my posts I'm deployed to the worlds largest Kitty Ltter Box (Kuwait/Iraq) . I have my camara with me, is there anything you all would like for me to get pictures of?
Please realize I will not be able to get walk arounds of anything but my HMMWV. Also I will have to wait tell I get home to up load the pictures and I don't know how long that will be.
But if anyone is looking for something special (and can wait) just ask and I'll try and get it for you.

I'll try for the Amtrack but it might just be a pic as I drive by one.

Hear, hear to all the thanks. I can honestly say that, personally, I don't know anyone, including my anti-war friends, who isn't thankful for the efforts, professionalism, skill, and sacrifice of the military personnel in Iraq and Kuwait. You guys are the reason our lives stateside are as good as they are.

Stay safe!

Hi,

Would like to see anyhting you could get of M113s, M577s, and M2/M3 Bradleys. Especially interested in the field modifications done by the units for stowage, etc.

Thanks for the thoughtful offer.

More like in Iraq already, and headed North. the Army uses HETTs to move armor when there is little or no threat to the convoy. This reduces wear and tear to the vehicles

M2s, M3s would be really nice. Please ask the crews to keep all their personal belongings dangling from the side, thanx, Jim. Don't drink the water!
