I have 2 cousins, 1 has been in Irak and Afganishtan and the other has been in only in afganisthatn.
I hope only that deserts wolf fursona pinup will be made soon. |
I'm going with BloodRaven on my danger sense as I prefer to avoid it.I just have skills needed to get several jobs done.
I hope your cousins are doing good.
BloodRaven is right on this.My old hard drive crashed last year around this time and I had to get another drive. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

well I apologize for not being politically correct, I'm strongly opinionated.
For those who are veterans I would like to thank you for your services, the sacrifices made by you all can never be re-payed.

Don't worry too much about it Thorne.All BloodRaven and I mean is that when people think we're over in the Middle East because of oil it devalues what we're trying to do by helping the people. We appreciate the support. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

the other is living with his girl friend on a island and having fun for I know.
Sorry that your family gut the connections with you. I hope that this forum gives you some support in your life.
maybe it is not much but we, at least I, want you to have the best life in the world and that you are happy.

Good to hear that about your family Henk.I've made peace with my family connections a long time ago as far as the forums go,I have so little free time and I've been away for a long time it's nearly impossible for me to gauge the support. I appreciate the last part Henk unfortunately I've pushed my body too far and it's finally starting to catch up to me.Most doctors I've spoken to have placed me dead by the age of 40 if I continue to go all out so living long and being happy are in short order for me. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Hello, Mr. DesertWolf.
Want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I wish you and the soldiers the best luck on fighting your all to end, if not the war, the battle you and the soldiers are facing now; furthermore, bringing, if not eternal, simple peace to all the people on Earth.
Let us do our best in 2011! |

Happy New Year from Afghanistan! We don't have fireworks but hopefully this video of Combat Engineers using MICLICs(Mine Clearing Line Charges)to make paths as well as destroy IEDs will make up for our lack of fireworks.

As a short warning there is use of vulgar language(use of cuss words) and explosions are loud so adjust your volume accordingly. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Glad you like the pictures and appreciate our sacrifices but it will be the defeat of the ideology and mentality of the terrorist groups that will win the war. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

Being in one piece is going to be a subjective expression.Unfortunately years of wrecking my body has put a time clock of sorts on and at current rate of activity has put me dead by the age of 40.Other than working,I did have a good Christmas and New Year. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

None of us from AWG are present in the photos due to the sensitive nature of our operations while we're deployed.The soldiers featured are from different units that we are assigned to.The locals featured were some of the lucky few we try to help each day. _________________ “If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

I think it's time to shift the mood a little bit and provide a little humor here.In this video soldiers are performing room clearing exercises:http://shock.military.com/Shock/videos.do?displayContent=225626&page=2.

Hi DesrtWolf, Happy holidays to you and your men. I've been reading through the thread, and wanted to say thank you. I'm an ex squid and served on a sub after Vietnam. It's sobering to be reminded what it's like to be under actual fire. I had it easy in comparison. I know what your trying to do is difficult, and woefully misunderstood. Just know that your sacrifices are appreciated, and for Gods sake keep your heads down.
Thanks again |
