On our way to Afghanistan stopped for fuel here in Ireland. Should be an exciting seven months. Had to say by to my daughter last night she had a rough time (single dad) But she will have fun with my mother while im gone!

Do yourself a favor. Get a good pair of 400 weight Winter boots(Danners). Winter sucks there. When Spring and SUmmer hit, so does the 'Wind of 180 Days'. Facial protection is a must during this period. You will burn through chapstick.
Make sure you send many of us your address so we can bomb you with boxes of stateside stuff like cigars, hot sauce, and new socks at your halfway point.
Good Luck, Stay Sharp, and Do it all Right!

Stay safe over there and watch your 6. Try to stay warm its getting cold over there. I regret not packing warm shit when I went on leave for when I get back. Ill be heading back through Ireland soon enough. PM if you need to know anything.

Take care of yourself. Please do let us know where we can send you packages of smokes, chew, sundries, etc.

Maybe next year for the BoSox!

well we made it to one of the "stans" i dont think im supposed to post the address (as im sure a lot of you know better than I)but ill pm you if you like it sure be nice. we got so much colt weather gear im hoping we'll be ok and we got some danners from ctep so I hear those should hold up. thanx for the wishes!

Maybe next year lol!

Remember, NO RANK, or SHOP

Last Name, First Name
UNIT Name(#/## XXB XBN whatever)
Unit # (this will be five digits
FPO(State) AE(City)
09510-3365(Zip+4)

This insures two things. Mail gets to the individual, and OPSEC is followed.
I sent your address to a retarded top who loves to send stuff to our forward troops.

Ill be sure to keep that in mind and let people know not to type that stuff.

again thanx for you support me and everyone else appreciate even just the kind words!

are you guys still getting a standing ovation at shannon when you walk through? have seen it a few times now, best of luck and stay safe.

You take care! We do care, thank you

we were at airport in Shannon when it was late so not many people there. Once again thank you all for the support it makes all of us feel good!

I also wanted to say thank you to the USO (not us optics lol) to my surprise they were there handing us bags packed with great stuff dont know if anyone works with them but just wanted to say Thanx!

I remember the Ireland stop to be the highlight. Looking out to see lush green countryside enveloping you...ahhhh.

Then the next stop...not so scenic!

Seriously, stay sharp, stay safe, let us know if you need anything! Oh, and I know this sounds wierd now, but enjoy it. You will look back on these as good times.

What he said...Im cracking a Guinness for your journey...bring your comrades home safe...

You may want to insure you find a good set of thin gloves for searching haj, because sooner or laer you will do it. Just remember the 'credit card swipe' when you do

weel we at last stop before we get to final destination. I think were all just really anxious to get there and not load/unload are bags every day. Well dont have much time to chat and at next stop will surely be less if not none at all but ill c ya later thanx for the luck!

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Shannon!

I enjoy it everytime I'm in Shannon myself (Panty 6's name) ROFLMMFAO!!!

Shannon was very pleasant! Kind people good food!
