Back...in the desert!
 

Hey Patriot Family,

Here I am, back in the dust of Iraq! I am at Al Asad airbase located in beautiful western Iraq.

I am excited to be back and to be doing my part. We are very busy right now with being the incoming unit. The out going unit gave us a cookout today which was rather nice.

I cant complain about the living conditions one bit considering last time I was out in the middle of no where.

Once again, I will pass along mail info if you desire it. And I am sure my wife, Ani, will be jumping on from time to time and I hope to be sharing some more pictures from this tour.

Hope all is well back in the states! Thanks for all your support!

...Be well Doc, and keep the sand out of your crack, and your crack low,...

...

Thanks for being there for us.
Been watchin' the weather reports in Iraq and I'm pretty sure that the first order of business is to make sure the AC is working.
Stay cool and as Curtis says, keep your a... ... low.

Deane,
I was at PSAB with the USAF in 1998 this time of year and it was 150* in the shade you take care in the desert and stay hydrated and stay cool. :32:

Doc be well and this time come home without another Purple Heart

Thanks Doc. Gods speed. Next to God a medic is a grunts best friend.

Hey Doc are they still issuing salt tablets? When I was in Saudi they discontinued them because they said the food had amble salt in the food. Just curious. What do they issue the troops now for hot weather - other than copious amounts of water?

Ya know I hate hot weather - give me cold any-day. I'd rather freeze to death then roast.

Be safe Doc and my best to you your family and all the troops out there.

Doc...stay cool and stay low! Thanks for your service! When is your DEROS? Gotta get your young ass to the mountain this year!!

Trav

My prayers for your safety. Take care.

May God Bless,

Larry

I can remember a few times goin' into a mess tent and gettin' San Miguel. Hope they're bein' good to you Doc.
