Not Without My Laptop: A Signaleer's Journey in Iraq. Recaps of my deployment to Iraq and other interesting news in the world of 'ct'. Saturday, February 18, 2006. When we first came to Iraq, it was published that you could get a 4 day pass to Qatar as a break from the combat enviornment. A lot of guys during the first couple of rotations had combat stress. Over the weekend, the entire headquaters unit was told to stay in late for a nutrition class. The concept was to get some training on how to eat ...

I had a rough weekend to say the least. Prior to turning in for the night, I requested a soldier on the night shift to wake me up at the crack of dawn to prepare for this race. That night I managed about 4 hours of sleep but, as it turns out, the solider kept to my request and I was up before the sun. I managed a ...

Not Without My Laptop: A Signaleer's Journey in Iraq. Recaps of my deployment to Iraq and other interesting news in the world of 'ct'. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. The majority of early part in December was a bit uneventful. It was mostly filled with meetings and slow days pushing papers to satisfy information requests from "on high".

Long story short, it's pitch black outside and we start. Some 200 people coraled into an exceptionally small road way. The three and me passed the first one and hit the second on the back stretch. Low and behold, the cups we collected didn't contain green gator aid. They contained green near beer! After finishing the race, we wo...

Many apologies for not having posted in the past.oh.month or so but, I've been going back and forth on if anything particularly interesting and postable has happened on the blotter.

I got a lot of flack for not doing it faster but, I'm not too good at replicating myself in about 5 different places at the same time. I'm working it but, since I know understand the amount of authority I have.it seems like I shouldn't have too many more complaints. Here are some action shots. I'll try to post more photos later. ...

Finally, I've been here about a week now and there is something half way interesting to recount. What was that," I replied as I made my way across the gravel strewn walk way.

For some reason I keep thinking of the Billy Joel song of the same name. Well, I apologize about the much delayed update here but, it's been crazy trying to get everything in place for the movement OCONUS. Here's a quick run down. It's also tough being the sysadmin for the entire battalion and having to negotiate with contractors for administr...
