Hi everybody!

Stay safe, know we're all proud of you and your knuckleheads, and come home soon to col'beer at the Dog and Duck:D
 
Glad to hear that you're ok! Can't imagine anyone being horrified by filleting a scorpion, though...

Stay safe!
 
Good to hear from you Sarge. Thanks for the report and stay safe.

When I was in China for a couple months we were traveling around the country seeing the sites and stopped to eat. I did not know what we were going to eat, but I think my Uncle knew exactly what he was ordering:D. We had some veggies, ground up squirill or rat(complete with some hair and bones), and a nice big plate of Scorpions:eek:. I think they deep fried the scorpions. They tasted pretty good, kinda like potato chips. Think I ate about 6 or 8 of them. Would not mind having them again:D
 
Great to hear from you Sarge, darned proud of you, stay safe, and dont eat too many Scorpions I hear theyre high in cholestoral:D
 
Glad you got a chance to post. Stay alert and keep a khuk handy. Sure will be glad when yuo get back. God Bless you all.:)
 
Guys I gotta tell you, the only thing I'm fighting over here is boredom. The mission we were sent to do had pretty much evaporated by the time we got here. None of the big dogs thought things would move as fast as they did, but something in my gut told me all the "trouble spots" were going to fall lickety split in the face of superior tactics and firepower. General Franks is a smart fellow, getting the troops into Baghdad quickly took away any option of Saddam's boys using chemicals, too close, would have slimed their own guys. Kind of like fighting a spearman with a sword, you want to parry and close quickly to take away his reach advantage. Once they were in, they were in. Most of the people still causing trouble aren't even Iraqis, they're irregulars from other countries in the region. They won't last long, folks in towns and villages are letting them know they're not welcome, and our guys are helping more than a little in that matter.

Yup, the show's just about over over here, and as soon as we can get our stuff loaded up we'll be headed someplace else, probably home, maybe back to Afghanistan. I'm thinking next time I unpack my duffel bags and hang up my "battle rattle", it'll be for good. The thought of being a civilian again kind of intimidates me, I can't lie about that, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Y'all keep yer khukris sharp (you too Bruise)

Sarge
 
Good top hear from you Sarge, glad things are getting sorted.

Never really doubted that they would.

Hurry home

:cool:
 
Good to hear from you Sarge.

Take care. Remember what the Greatful Dead said in Uncle John's Band. "When life looks like easy street there is danger at the door."

Namaste.
 
Hi Sarge,

Would that be a continuing lesson on "bugs are good to eat"? Skewered scorpion?;)
Seems to me you're sorely missed here:( so I hope they send you back soon:) .
As it's said, "it ain't over till it's over".;)
Stay well.
