Happy Birthday, Clay :birthday: :party: Hope you are able to get a chance to enjoy the day in the midst of all the other activities. So that you can :pill:

Of course, Marty knows that the beer over there for the troops is "non-alcoholic", right ?? :tongue: N/A Bud, N/A Heinekin, and O'Douls ... my son says it tastes like bad Kool-Aid. He's down near BIAP and just went back after his mid-tour R&R break.

God bless and watch over you, from a fellow vet in PA. As you look at the task before you, realize that it's your duty and the honor bestowed upon you to represent the finest principals of this nation and that you in turn through your efforts, make it possible for others to live as free men. Freedom is the greatest gift one can give, and believe me, the whole world is watching. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

If your unit is anything like mine was ,.. you should be duct taped to your cot and proped up in front of the latrine right now! :lol:

Too bad you can't properly celebrate with a couple of beers,.... hmmm,... well,.. find a Brit. They can square you away!

However the stuff they have is a bit harsh! It's ok to drink if you mix it with some MRE Kool-Aid! It also degreases helicopter parts very well! (not kidding)

:lol:

anyway,... keep an eye on your 6 and give 'em hell!

Air Assault! Hooah!!

Wanted to say thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I haven't had a chance to get on the board in some time, this month has really gotten busy for some reason. But the days feel shorter. Iraq is starting to cool off a little only got to 115 today, somewhere around there so thats a nice change. Getting to see a little more of the country which isn't as exciting as it seems. You can only see so many fields of dirt. Most of the locals still observe the standard sitting around period from 9am until 5pm so that only adds to my experience here. Overall its not nearly as bad as it could be, even enjoyable at times. I do not, however, recommend this as a vacation spot. Hope to see you all soon. Thanks again

Sounds like some of the places that I have worked. Maybe this is considered training for a Pentagon job. J/K :rofl: I can say that because I did my 3-year punishment tour in the building. :banghead:

Hope your birthday was enjoyable .... it'll definitely be memorable.
