The shots I promised the other day are now posted.  Not the best day for pictures, but some of them came out decent enough to put up online.  Enjoy.

Ok, well I finally posted up some pics from the last year.  Not as many as I posted from my last tour, but how many different pictures of helicopters can I post anyway?  I also haven’t posted any Twitter digests in a while, and…

I finally made it home!  I have been a home a little over a week and its amazing how fast “real life” comes crashing back in.  I spent the first few days just getting in-processed back into the states.  Since I ended up an an individual re-deployer, I managed to…

So I have been dealing with re-deployment issues for the last two weeks.  What a headache.  The right hand <em>never</em> talks to the left, let alone the feet.  One minute everything is on track, scheduled and everybody is aware.  Thirty seconds later, you call back and no one knows anything…

Yes, posting two weeks at a time since my net connectivity is spotty at best.

So I finished up my last <em>scheduled</em> duty cycle this morning.  No more flying MEDEVAC in Iraq for this tour.  We are almost done for this round.  The new replacement unit is on the ground, they…

Time is running out. Its almost time to leave this place.

So I have been thinking a lot about the position I have been told I will be filling here shortly.

Ok, so last week wasn’t quite the last digest. I really need to find something around here to write about. Any ideas?

Possibly the last Twitter Digest from <em>Iraq: The Second Tour</em>.  My internet connectivity is about to get really spotty for the next several weeks.  Expect blogging and tweeting to resume a normal schedule once I get settled back into “normal life.”  I’ll post as I can, and I’ll try to…

Counting down the days till the OIF Twitter Digests can come to a close.

So what do you do when there are no MEDEVAC calls?  Not a whole lot…

Better late than never.

For lack of anything new to really write about lately, I’ll share this article I found about MEDEVAC.

One more week in Iraq counted down.

A week of Tweets about incoming indirect fire.  Sudo stop the IDF! The definition of sudo.

Here I sit in the dark at almost 1am in my little 4 foot by 6 foot space.  I am under 2 layers of cover due to the overactive ECU, and my somewhat stinky PT clothes dangle 12 inches over my head because thats the only hook I have in…

What happens when an Urgent MEDEVAC request comes down?  A lot of things happen in a very short amount of time to make sure that the call gets answered. First, as the 9-line will come down one of two ways usually: by phone or by mIRC.  When the mIRC goes…

Another week down.

Another week of microblogging from the Front.  Also, this feed is changing to reflect @combatdoc since most of my followers are there and I am duplicating entries. @ffpblog will be used to publish links to new articles and such from now on.

I was promoted to Staff Sergeant today.  I was selected for one of a handful of coveted Battlefield Promotions. 

Another week in Iraq, another handful of tweets to record for posterity.

A slow week, but a summary of the tweets there were.

There just isn’t that much going on in my world.  Flight time is down, mostly because the way flights are handled changed.  The bad guys are pretty quiet in this part of the country lately, and we are starting to look at the end game.

A few tweets from an otherwise unremarkable week in Iraq.
