Just got back from Iraq, check it out under Patriots and Pandemonium. I'm the Captain on the far left in the second photo. Also, I'm the guy running with his mask on. We fired the first PAC-3 Patriot Missiles in history!

Kick ass! You're looking sharp in the run shot, RA (even from behind), but, man, that helmet on your head in the previous pitcure makes your face look frggin' small. And that guy standing next to you makes you look scrawny! :)

All right, done picking on you. The officers always look the puniest anyway, I understand. ;)

Okay, now I am really done! :D

Seriously, I'm glad you and so many others here got through this one alive and well. It must have been exciting to be a part of that missile launch (and on CNN to boot!). And thanks for that whole winning the war thing.

cincyreds,

Yes, I've heard of him. What unit is he in now? Patriot is a small world.

Glad to have you back RA. It's always pretty cool to see yourself on CNN, isn't it.

Have you been on CNN too. Man, I'm the one missing out here.

Welcome back Raiders Army and thanks for your service.

No, but I have recently had several friends who were on for one reason or another (International Christian Acadamy's evacuation from Ivory Coast, bombing of Murrey Accadamy in Pakistan, threatened attacks on Schools in Jakarta. It's been a rough year for international schools)

cincyreds,

Doh! I was attached to them for the first part of the war. I was the Echo Battery, 2-43 ADA commander, CPT Aaron Montgomery. They were safe in Jaber for the whole war :)

Thanks RA!!

He is home now in El Paso, I am flying over to see him July 5th, I cannot wait to see him.

I will mention your name, perhaps I could meet a FOFC guy live in person!

I am proud of both of you!!!

Thanks for all of your guys support during this conflict. It means a lot coming home, and receiving support rather than criticism. The only thing that I was looking forward to (gamewise) is a new patch for FOF4!
