Doc Deane...

Thank you for your service! I love your spunk and your attitude!!! A big thank you to Andria to for serving along with you.

Get well soon!!!!

[David]

Glad to hear you were not blown out of a hummer or something. Did you do much PT before you deployed? Thank you for going back to the sandbox again, you have great character and determination. Check your PM's

Yea, we PT'd like mad before deploying at McClellan, Benning and Shelby.

When we got to Kuwait we did PT every morning courtesy of 44th Medcom and 36th Evac. I think we ran all over Camp Udari.

Then we had a PT test when in Iraq.

PT sucks but it gets the muscles back enough to carry the weary bones so yah gotta do it. Thanks Doc for your service and glad you're home in one piece. Gotta ask though. Do they still have wheel chair races to the mess hall at the evac. hospitals? The guys that had to ride in one of those things had priority in the chow lines but we terrorized every pedestrian that was anywhere near us.

Hey Stick,
Before I left Iraq and went to Tallil on a med supply run we walked into the hospital on the air base and a few of the folks on staff duty were doing the OR Olympics...wheel chair races, crutch sports and so on. It was a sight to see.

The only real fun we had, besides another round of liberating items AGAIN (this was a replay of what I did in Desert Storm - those pictures come soon after certain units return home haha), we would race ambulances from the south checkpoint to main entrance in Scania. It was a rather good distance so we had room unless KBR had transports parked on the side...this went on for a month unitl the new force protection came in and clamped down on our NASCAR-Army adventures.

After that our fun returned to shooting wild dogs out at the RP's off the MSR. They were running /eating our cats.

We cleand out our connex at the RP which held many, many old cases of soda's...man those things blow like a cache when you put 'em on a fire.

Also...just how far can you make a diesel trail burn before it ignites a burn pile...can you make a molotav-diesel cocktail using gatorade bottles, and my favorite...just how long does it take for a bad, shredded HEMMT tire to burn.

AND...MSR Mardi Gras...man, you should have seen the kids come running for anything. A kid could be 100 meters off the road and you're 50 meters from his location doing 60mph. That kid is still going to beat you to the point just to get an MRE or an old Jimmy Dean or whatever. It was pretty damn amazing at how fast those kids could run!
