I know I'm mostly a lurker here, but the Busse forum is where I spend most my time reading, so I thought I'd drop a note.
My unit is finally headed over to Iraq. We're a Reserve Marine Wing Support Squadron that was activated back in May. After a summer full of training (Yuma in June and Camp Pen since) we're ready to go. Our Advon is out the door and I'll be gone before Monday.
Three Busses are headed out with me. A Ripper in a Spec-Ops Sheath, a BATac in a great BADASS sheath from Leatherman and a GW, also in a BADASS. They probably won't see too much use except opening mail and paper weights in the Motor-T Company office, but I'm sure the Ripper will see a few trips outside the wire on the larger convoys.
I should have access over there sporadically and I’ll check in from time to time. Hopefully, we’ll be back in mid-April. Please keep my Marines and me in your thoughts and prayers.

Your guys were going by the nickname Screwcrew if I remember correctly. I had a good freind who was assigned to 465. Not sure I can use their nickname here. We probelly knew some of the same people depending on what shop you were in.
