So I woke up this morning with a strong desire to finally get some pictures up, but I had no way of doing it, because the computers here can't hold the SD memory card that most cameras have. They do make an adapter though which you can plug the memory card into, with a USB plug on the other end. Just as I was walking to the computer lab, I saw a guy who happens to take a lot of pictures for the platoon...I asked him if he had the device, and he just happened to have it in his pocket. So voila...

The only green grass I've seen here so far

Pulling security near a building, notice all the holes from a Bradley's 25mm cannon

Joint patrol with the Iraqi Army

A common site in Iraq is destroyed cars on top of buildings...still trying to figure this one out

Talking to locals mid day

Kids going crazy at a school when we walk by

Hard to see, but more kids inside of the school say hello

Zeroing our rifles at a mock range before a patrol

A few guys are waiting on the computers, so that's it for now...I'll try to get some more pics up later. Bye!
