WOOOOHOOOO!!!!

My brother-in-law is safely back on U.S. soil! It's only for a couple weeks, then he goes back. Still, glad he is safe for now.


I'll post later, when I get his straight opinion based on first-person observation.


HE'S BACK!

FABOO, brother. All my best wishes, and show him all the familial love he can handle while he's home.

Hey...is he thinner and browner? When I got back from Saudi, I had about a week of folks telling me how great I looked. Then the tan faded, and I was drinking beer and eating pizza again.

Glad to hear hes home safe, some people I know are pretty damn worried for their loved ones overseas. Someday they will all be home.

Always a great feeling to hear of a brave soldier returning from war. I wish the best for him as well as his comrads still in the hot zone.

He says he hates the frickin' media! All they ever talk about is the violence. "They never show us handing out backpacks full of school supplies, throwing bottles of water to Iraqi's. God, I hate 'em." (The media, NOT the Iraqi's!)

Can't tell you much else, yet. I'm not going to compromise OP SEC just so I can say "I told you so!" (Sure pisses me off, knowing some of this stuff now, and still having to keep my mouth shut.) Nor am I going to say anything about the "other" stuff. Suffice to say American boys are American boys; wherever hellhole you stick 'em in.

Proud to hear this. So very proud...

He's done his last convoy. All he has to do now is hunker down and wait. He'll be staying (not in Iraq) a little longer than the rest of his unit in order to get their equipment ready to return home. NO MORE CONVOYS! The boys are coming home soon!

That is soooo good to hear.
