I'm finally back in the US now!!! Thanks guys, you guys a really awesome and I really appreciate the welcome and encouragement in this post, it really makes me proud to be a soldier!!!

That flight from Kuwait was 16 hours and it really sucked, but it was worth it. We got to Fort Riley yesterday and have been really busy turning in our equipment. It sure does feel good to be back in the USA too!!

You don't really appreciate it here until you go to a place like Iraq for over a year, but it sure is great to be back here. I didn't eat a steak or drink a beer yet, but I will do that tonight. I will probably get drunk off 1 beer too...lol. I'm getting ready to go on leave here this weekend, but I will check the site periodically.

I thought I was going to miss out on a new Scrapyard Knive while I was gone, but I'm glad I didn't. I see Swamprat has the RMD at the store so I jumped on that and I pre-ordered that "Hairy Carry" Knife.

I will talk to you guys later, but thanks again and take care...God Bless the USA !!!!!
