Back home from Iraq
We've been home a couple weeks now and I just wanted to say hello and thank you to those of you who took the time to send me PSD and Convoy Ops info. It really helped. We were running missions in Baghdad for 12 months and we thankfully suffered no KIA's.
Thanks again.
Rob

Welcome home! Also, I want to ask a question I posed to my son upon returning; Do you think you will miss it?
He was suprised that he actually missed it, although when he was there he couldn't wait to leave.

Got home a couple of weeks ago myself and I have to say that yes, to an extent I do miss it. I'm certainly enjoying a much-needed break and am thankful to be back with my family, but I suppose there are certain aspects that I miss. Can't really definitively put my finger on it yet, but it's there.

actually, yes, in a weird way I do miss it. I don't miss the silly crap that Big Army likes to dish out from the IZ. If I'd had my druthers, I'd have chosen to go to a combat outpost in Afghanistan, but no one asked me.
Thanks all.
Rob
