Today started off pretty slow but it ended with a bang. We were up at 8 AM conducting a meeting in the logistics office and at 9 o'clock I had an egg sandwich with the warm 'pita' style bread the local bread factory is famous for - not the fancy meal you would find at a Sunday morning brunch back in the States but nonetheless it was warm and tasty. Through-in a small box of orange drink and I felt like I was back at McDonald's eating an egg McMuffin meal. Meetings, more mediation and e-mails filled the hours in the day. In the late afternoon I had a chance to take a look at what was found "lying around" in the desert. I can not say too much more but the pic above but it is the latest "find" in a recent search conducted by some coalition and Iraqi forces. As the evening drew to a close the items in the pic above and a second group of weapons (not shown) were destroyed; needless to say it was quiet the fireworks show. A good end to a tough week. Tomorrow I get to ride with the Calvary.

Greg, I was jokin' about selling guns and ammo (See my post on 9 Jan), but I guess you took my advice to heart, and decided to do some after hours recon. Were you out in the middle of the desert, at 0200, with that little metal detector that people down at the Jersey Shore use? I could just see you now, sweeping that device back and forth, trying to find some ammo shells, and lo and behold, you come across the mother of all finds.......LMAO
Well, just remember, it was my idea, so I want 50%....You may outrank me, but I'll ALWAYS be your older brother.......LOL
