Lord Sand Dune, (hehe), to the best of my knowledge, I believe you are the very first Oinkaloid to be "in country". Let's make sure you are also the first to get back safe and sound!!!!

All Pigs, Fluvians, Kenworths, Kiwi's, Karl's, Lens, Roo's, Wolves, and Helga's wish you well and safe keeping--for you and your Brother's in Arms. Toad, be careful dude.

Lordette Dave,

Yeah. Lord Toady is with the US National Guard I think. Good awesome man, we used to chat a lot before he went to Iraq.

Lord TT-
PM me once you get back CONUS, and bring back some Iraqi sand for me; I'm serious, I would love to do a Bradley vs. Insurgent dio, using actual Iraq sand :-)

I'd have done it myself, but you know how pending Med discharges can screw you on overseas travel...

Well things are going pretty good here , thanks for all the well wishes . We have been quite a few places over the past month . The best so far has been the palace at Babylon , it over looks Euphraties river and the ruins to the tower of Babil . I can just about check in every couple of days , just cant get to chat - guess its blocked . Well every one take care , toad out .

P.S. here is a pic of the palace
