Let's call him "Captain Bruce" - cause that's his name and rank.

He's been in Iraq since April - third time over there for him.

Hi all, just a quick note to let everyone know I am alive and well. I sent my snail mail address to **** and ****** via pm. just ask them for it and I am sure they will forward it along.

I am one lucky guy. Last week while at one of the outlying camps we got hit by a rocket. The bad guys set up two rockets in the trunk of a toyota corolla. Rocket #1 failed to launch and remained in the tube, rocket #2 ignited and took off (setting off rocket #1 which promptly exploded and destroyed the car and its occupant). Rocket #2 hit the top of the barrier less than 50 feet from where I was standing, fortunately it was a dud and did not explode or I would probably have been toast.

I will try to post some pictures but they are really strict on what we can upload. If I can't I will have a ton of them to post when I get back next June.

Keep the home fires burning and God Speed.

He's a good guy, I've known him for over 5 years now. Glad that, so far, I get to keep knowing him.
