Been deployed? Post a pic!

i can assist with that. Training with some C4 and Det cord. Somewhere on North Fort Hood prior to deployment in ‘04.

 

I was outside of Kirkuk in 2017. We were supposed to rip out and head home in early Oct but sand storms pushed us out to the end of the month so we were there during the little civil war they had for a few days. Boy did our Kurdish guards give us some looks during that.

Crazy seeing photos of early 2000s Iraq compared to when I was there. Some areas are decently built up and nice, others.. rubble

 

Looking at this pic makes me feel old in a way that the regular being old stuff doesn't. North Kabul, 2012-ish if I recall correctly.



There was really not much left of this hilltop when the A-10s got done with it.

I can smell the smog down in the Kabul bowl just looking at this.



Konar river valley. Spent a while here. Best view in the house.





Everything came in on mules and left as smoke, turds, or outbound metal.
