Sorry guys, I've been retardedly busy lately and haven't been to the computer much. Just wanted to share this with you.
Here's an excerpt from the February 29, 2008 edition of Stars and Stripes:
The Chinook's twin rotors grow louder as the helicopter nears a landing zone near an anonymous Iraqi canal that may or may not have attackers waiting nearby.
This early Thursday morning, infantry troops are crammed in the helicopter with full gear, about a third of them on the floor in order to squeeze in as many as possible into the tube-shaped cargo hold.
"10...9...8..." a crewmember calls out over the intercom as the helicopter drops its last few feet, hitting the field with a thud barely heard over the rotors.
The back ramp drops, and the foot soldiers plod into the pitch-black landscape, all 40 or 50 of them.
Well, I don't know who those guys are, but that sounds like some cool stuff. I'm obviously not doing stuff like that. Never...

Hope you didn't get the bad water and are too sick to do anything! Stay off those helicopters! Hope you are well and safe. Here we are experiencing all four seasons within a 24 hour period! Makes for an interesting day! Dress in layers and shed them as day goes on and put them back on when sun goes down! Sending you lots of love.
