    hey, sorry for the delay. it was okay when i was there. it was my first and last time there so i cant really compare. but, my mission dealt with indirect fire(rockets and mortars) and when we first got there we were getting pounded daily. then it started to ease up a little towards the end. so it has gotten alot better over there, but one of the big concerns i feel is the iraqi army does not want the full responsiblilty yet, which is bullshit. its there country so they should be happy to serve just like i was for mine.
