Heading to Iraq

I just want to let all of you know that my team and I are leaving this weekend for Iraq. We are a Combat Advisor Team that will be working along an Iraqi Border Enforcement Brigade along the Iraq/Syria border (that information does not violate OPSEC). Anyway, the ability to communicate with the "real world" has come leaps and bounds since I was in Afghanistan. We will have regular access to the internet and telephones...and of course there is always mail call. I will try to keep everyone updated on what we are doing and such while we are over there. I will try to post a blog at least once a week and also upload pictures and stuff. I have my Steelers hat, fleece pullover, and Terrible Towel, so I am ready for the rest of the season!!! If you would like my address while we are over there, please let me know and I will shoot it to you in a message. I want to thank all of you for your continued support of those of us in uniform. We couldn't sustain the optempo that we do without the support from those at home.
