1886lebel in Iraq

Here are 2 pictures of me with my M16A2 ... the first was taken at Camp Buehring, Udarii, Kuwait and second is self-explanitiory. This picture was taken the day we left there for FOB Speicher. Look at my finger near triggerguard ... see safety first.

Yes that is a scope on my weapon ... it is the following type ...

The receiver cover you see in the first picture I purchased in Kuwait to keep the dirt out of there ... I still have it on ... lol.

Anyway just to let you all know that I am still alive and well at FOB Speicher which is just North of Tikrit. No major activity has taken place here other than a few mortar attacks once in awhile but nothing close to where I am working or live.

If anyone is wanting to write me my mailing address here is ...

"...explanitiory..." A special dispensation is in order. Keep your head down lad.
Spelling and grammar always count.
