Found a public computer. Everything is good. Desert Patrol has gone on a few patrols. Most of the insurgence run in terror from the sight of it, so we haven't got alot of action. Can't post pics of course, but I'll let you know he's handling the sand well. It's like he was made for this terrain.

Anyways, I also noticed alot of good rides put out. Don't have alot of time, so I'll just say "good shit" here. Keep pumpin out those pimpin rides and keep pimpin!

Good to hear from ya. Glad you're doing well.

Hey you know what? I think we have a mission that's right up the alley for Desert Patrol. Sessiz found this. It appears as though a doll has been kidnapped and held at toy gun point.

Agreed. I hope you come home safe, and while you're there, to unleash that beast on Iraqi soil! No joke, that thing looks like it's ready to open a big ole can of whoop......

it certainly is good to hear you're still going 86

now i got a sorta friend over there it makes the news reports a little more compelling.

do what you gotta do, let the iraqi's know we feel for them and above all come home.

Well, it looks like I'll be able to get to this public computer about every 6~10 days. At least for a little while.

I can't believe they got cody!!!!! He was just in the Desert Patrol last week maning the .50 cal. Those bastards will pay for this!

All jokes aside, it's been pretty interesting. We've been shot at with mortars, rockets and small arms on a regular basis. Casualties are limited, but no deaths as of yet. A few of the casualties are pretty bad, but I'll keep it light and mention some of the funny things.

We were on patrol about 5 days ago when an insurgence popped around a corner and shot our point man from about 10 feet away with an AK. The funny thing is we have these armor plates in our flack vests. The Marine was hit in the gut, but the bullet was stopped by the armor. It looked kinda funny really. When he got hit, all that happened was it pushed him back 2 steps, then he unloaded on the guy with his SAW (light machinegun). The SAW is one of the largest machineguns that is man portable. It's a pretty impressive weapon.

Speaking of armor working. One night our outpost that we were staying at was attacked. One guy got hit twice in his helmet by 7.62 rounds. None penetrated. The same night a rocket bounced off his side and detonated about 10 feet away. Still he's OK. I tell you, this guy must have an angel watching over him. Nowadays, he stays pretty low. He's being more cautious. We gave him a new nickname; Bullet Sponge.

WOW! That is some pretty intense stuff!

I'm telling ya, if I was the Bullet Sponge, I'd be hanging low too.

I guess sometimes it takes a story like that to make you count your blessings.

You take care man.

Yea holy shit, you could write a book dude - you could only have stories like that from being over there, crazy shit.

Stay safe holmes.

Holy crap Hachi That is straight up outta a movie if you dig what I am saying. Great to hear you are doing allright. Any chance you could hook us up w/ a pic or two from over there of you or is that breaking the rules? Bottom line, you know all us pimps appreciate what you are doing and hope you stay safe.

I think that Finks pretty much summed up what I was going to say, I hope that you get through this unscathed, and come home to put out some more badass mods.

Stay safe.

I think if I was Bullet Sponge, I would call it a career if I could. Thats some crazy shit to have happen and still walk.

Has any one made any comments about the little truck? Get caught playin' with it yet?
