Possible Move, Don't send Mail or Packages

Hello all,

Everything is well, though it's getting hot out. I reached up to above 90 deg today. The boys are good, they are starting to filter back home for their leave. Time is going by fast by having the mission keeping us so busy and on our (camels) toes.

I need to ask you all to put a big WHOOOAAA on the packages until further notice. We got word the we may be moving back as a Company and taking over another mission in another part of Iraq. Even if we don't, the Marines that are here in this area are transitioning back to the States, and we piggy back off their address. So we will have a different address here anyway if we stay. I've been getting more stuff that I can use or even give away. So this will give me a chance to dwindle down my overstock. It's all greatly appreciated though. I just received 6 Packages from Mick and Kim today and 2 packages from Carols Mom and Dad. Thank You! I will put out a new address when I have more info and also a good to have Item list for packages and a "I have enough of this item list also". I'm thinking it'll be about one to two months before we can put to use anything new that is sent.

These Marines here think that my family is keeping the Postal Service at a profit this year. I agree..

The attached picture has the Euphrates River in the back ground, We found a weapons cache in that area that day and had the EOD (Explosive Ordinance Doods) check out a possible VBIED, it wasn't just wires coming out of the gas tank from a electric back up fuel pump.

That's all for now, Have a Happy Easter!

Later, Rod

Some Updated Pictures

Hello,

Some pics I need to explain,

-The puppy just came out of thin air and appeared at the guys hooch, we kept him! name is Dusty Bear.

-nap time, I was waiting for vehicle to get fixed at AQ.

-Mosque near Gannon.

-Old guys by HMMWV are Civilian US Cops that are here to help advise the IPs

-I had a Iraqi Traditional lunch one day with an IP Chief

-the two guys and me are my LT, Sherbina (from Russia) and one of my squad leaders Ranger Morris

All is good, Be advised, In a month I may be moving from this location. The big Army may pull our Company back together for another mission. That'll bite! It's not for sure, I hope not, the guys are settled and enjoy our mission here. Watch sending mail after a week or so. I will update as soon as I know.

Got to go, it's getting early! 0240 in the morning, just back from a night foot patrol mission.

We've been super busy and i've had little time to respond to e-mails and packages that have been sent lately, I should have a little time this week to send out some e-mails.

Love to all, Rod
