Big Swords

Downtown Baghdad, took it a few months ago. My job now doesn't allow me to bring a camera, so no fun pics usually. Oh well.

Maybe next time I'll post some shirtless pics of me. Hitting the gym big time!

All my photos from the Middle East were lost.
Been to some other places, but never Iraq.
Stay safe, dude.

Not really. When I'm not in my gear it goes on my belt. Kind of annoying, but comes with responsability.

My brother's in Baghdad now. He just got over there and we don't know if that's where he's staying or if they're deploying somewhere else. I know he's not allowed to take pics on the job, but outside of work I don't know

So did I. I thought that was one heck of a claymore, and I was going to ask where I can get one.

A few guys were taking touristy pictures, so I decided to one up them :p Glad it worked as intended.

Nice pic.

Ever since a mud puppy gave me a ticket back in my days for passing someone legally but the lines went solid before I could pass the jerk who speeded up I have held a grudge against mp's. That ticket caused a lot of problems for me.

Your okay though :)

Lets just say that I worked as a cop for 18 months and wrote zero speeding tickets :p

I had a chance to go to Iraq to help setup the Iraq Core Node (IT infrastructure) for the British military.

Can?t say I was overly interested, though.
