Title: Contacting a specific soldier in Iraq
Post by: GRUNHERZ on September 25, 2005, 02:20:38 AM

A buddy of mine from College was ROTC and is currently serving in Iraq.  I lost a lot of data last Christmas to a bad HD so I dont have his email address any more.

Is there I way I can try to get a message to him?

12 gauge, 50 pounds of ammo, and a airdrop into iraq, start with the local washerwoman- ask for the location of the camp with the soldiers of errr less than stellar "proportions"

your right, 50 pounds of ammo isnt nearly enough for the "mess" in iraq, nor is it a manly enough number.


100 pounds, at least.

I saw this post and tried it..............

I got a hold of my old pilot friend who is now in Iraq.


He is a CW5 in the Army, last I saw he was one of a select few Army pilots chosen to fly the Commanche





Thanks for the tips
I never thought I would get to talk to him again
