I bet you can just imagine your SVX in the sand over there! Talk about doing your tour in style!......

My son is over there with the 652nd. He's been in Baqubah (sp?), but then got transferred up to Tikrit for a while (they were bunking in one of the old palaces). He's back in Baqubah again and happy to be there- he's got his own laptop and a decent internet connection (Wi-Fi network).

Good Luck and stay safe.
