1. Is me on the right with a couple of my buddies and an Iraqi Army EOD Major.
2. Sunrise 0430 in Ar Ramadi.
3. Sunrise 0500 in Al Assad.
4. Deadly Force, Yes it is authorized beyond this point.
5. My JERRV (Joint EOD Rapid Response Vehicle) that I ride in.
6. Just a palm tree I thought it was a nice pic. In Ar Ramadi.
7. Dusty morning in Al Assad.
8. Little bird seeking shelter from the dust and wind. He let me walk right up to him, no zoom needed for that pic.

thats living it your own history. like my mother once told me. youv've see more, and done more than most people combined in in a life time. no one can ever take that from you stay proud!

I like seeing things that go boom, but what confuses me most is when you busted those two guys.... they got.... these little red fruits in black bags along the explosives.... buying stuff like that must just be another groceries shopping day for them. You gotta love how EASY it is to make an AK, dragunov or even Uzi.... Unlike american guns, they're just stamped and rolled sheet metal with a gas tube, firing pin, trigger and barrel. Cheap to make, reliable.... but thank god for us, they're inaccurate as hell While we, Americans got mach grade barrels, some spooshy space age upper/lower one piece, equally reliable.... until sand gets in it

Here are the bills I have.
The first is a 250 Dinar it's worth about $0.21.
Second bill is 1000 Dinar it's worth about $0.85.
Third is a 5000 note worth about $4.27.
Fourth is a 10000 note worth about $8.54.
The last pic shows th difference in size of the different denominations.

Nice work with the camrea. The Palm tree, bird and sky scape shot are really very very good. Keep taking photo's.

 

[John Morrow]

Thanks for the pic's .....I look for your pic post every day.
Like someone said a few post back....... most people will never see or even come close to seeing some of the stuff you guy's ( and gal's ) see,
...... keep the pic's coming, no matter how trivial or random, its new and different to us. Just to see the people and there lifestyle and some of the architecture is very cool.
............Thanks for all you do over there.

 

[68GTconvert]

Thanks for the pics. I enjoy looking at them. Keep safe.

 

[dusted72]

Good morning everybody. Here are some more pics for the day. These are just random ones from different trips and some sand storms we have had. Also Rumble 90 percent of these were taken with a 6 year old Canon 5 megapixels camera the rest were taken with a $100 Sony both point and shoots. You all should recognize some of these vehicles.

 

[67Dart440GT]

Thanks for everything you do. Stay safe and come home soon.

 

[340_dart_power]

Nice to see their dinars with Saddam's picture removed.

 

[memike]

Thank you so much for this thread and what you are doing for us dusted72
I am enjoying these pictures I would have never seen if it was not for you.

Some very nice pictures I had to save and show to my family here at home, a reality check for sure.

Stay safe and smart sir.

 

[jomoper]

Thanks for the pics,but most of all thank you for your service stay safe.

 

[dusted72]

Ok so this one is a little later then usual which means it is night time here.
1. Sunset here last night.
2. Our sign at Ar Ramadi.
3. Kids playing soccer in a "field", basically it's just the cleanest open area around.
4. Cemetary in Ar Ramadi city.
5. Entrance to our compound in Ar Ramadi, we actually got in trouble for flying the flag. They said only the brigade has authority to fly a flag on the Base. Guess where our flag is? Yep still flying. Our compound there is actually an old prison where Iranian POW's were kept.
6. Randon Ar Ramadi pic.
7. Stop! Translation- man rows canoe while woman holds baby, or Dirka Dirka. Which ever you perfer.

[67DartGT340]

Wow this is an incredible thread. It really opens up your eyes, and has you appreciate the countries (CAN and USA) that we live in. With what tomorrow brings I say Thank you, because it is people like you that are out there everyday fighting to keep us and our way of life safe, and to try to keep 9/11 a memory that will never be repeated.:brave:

 

[Hemiroid]

Corey:
I have been watching the 10 year Anniversary of 9/11.
Ground 0 is now a beautiful tribute to every one that lost there lives.

I would like to see another picture of something blown all to **** over there.

Stay safe!
