Hello from Iraq

Hey GB community,
 
I just wanted to give a shout out from Iraq! I am currently deployed to FOB Adder, Iraq with the United States Army and wanted to say hi and thank you guys for the endless amount entertainment you have provided while I have been here. It was always nice to get on here whenever I could and read a little about what was going on back in the States, with a little GB flavor added into it. However, I am (thankfully) nearing the end of my deployment and wanted to to know if you guys had any requests (like pictures) or questions about anything before I leave. Feel free to ask anything, and I'll see what I can do.

^  *shivers*   thats some big spider,i got crazy if one was anywhere near me.  lol

Howdy from Texas.  Don't have any requests.  Just sayin' howdy.

Hey... mist be hard out there...glad GB provides you relaxation..
Hope you return home soon and get gaming!
enjoy

"@jakob187: Thanks. Texas is actually home for me too."

I originally thought this would have been a spam post, I'm glad it's not.
 
It's fine man, just remember that you all owe us a massive paycheck for when you get back from your deployment... or a picture of a camel spider. :)

What was your K/D ratio?

Yo, just saying watch yourself out there, I lost a couple buddies in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of my buddies that got killed left me his silver necklace, I miss that funny bastard... So don't do anything stupid out there man. Hey if you got a photo of Fallujah that would be great, but if ya don't then don't worry about it. But thanks for your service man, I'm joining up next year and if you got any tips for boot camp it would be kinda useful. 

"What was your K/D ratio? "

Hey, thanks for putting your life on the line for the UK/US and all other countries in the coalition!

What he said. We all appreciate it. "

I hope this isn't rude, but can you give us a picture of your gun?
 
Thanks. :-)

Keep your head down bro, hope you come home safe. 
 
I know I'll sound like a little kid lol, but, does every soldier get issued a knife/dagger? And if so, do you have a pic of it? :D

Get back to work.

Amazing stuff here, we all appreciate your service back here in the states.

How come u can have pictures of u in the army but my cousin can't? my cousin is in the army his in Mississippi right now.  a couple of months ago he was in Afghanistan and before that he was in Iraq. i talk to him via email every once in a while. 
 
good luck there, i like the picture of u with the gun.

Thanks for your service, I'm an old Navy veteran. You look young, the one thing that makes me scratch my head is the fact that at 18 years of age you can fight for your country, but can't drink a beer. I never understood that train of thought. Take care, get home safe.

Make sure you stay safe yeah?

Sweet. I don't really have any requests for you but we, the Giant Bomb community, are very proud and supportive of our soldiers. Glad to see you did a good job out there and we look forward to your safe return home!!

Nice man, I was at FOB Gabe which is north of Baghdad.  I've heard of Adder I think but can't remember where it is. Don't bothering telling me though, OPSEC ftw. ;-)  Keep your head down bro, crazy hajii's don't play games. 
 
Also, after looking at those pics I noticed there is no CIB's.  What MOS are you?

Hey! Thanks for all your service in Iraq! My brother was actually in the Marines, but I still appreciate the Army too!

" @iam3green: I couldn't tell you exactly why. It all depends on his chain of command and OpSec at the time.  And a big thank you to everyone else. I know I've still got a picture of a camel spider that I will have tomorrow, and someone else wanted to see the base I was stationed at. There is a 4000 year old temple (The Temple of Ur) right outside of our base that we used to be able to visit, and I know someone around here has got a picture of our base from atop the temple. I will have to do some asking around tomorrow but I will find one for whoever asked. "

God bless ya man. My best bud was sent to Afghanistan this past January......you have to have balls of iron to put yourself out there like you fellows do. 
 
And post some pics of those crazy ass spiders if you get a chance!

I do not think I ever want to go to Iraq now from seeing that huge spider. OMFG, I would start screaming like a little girl if I saw one.

This is not something to joke about, I wish they would drop you off in Iraq and pump you full of steroids then send you on a mad suicide terrorist hunting mission. "

Texas is actually home for me too.
