Checking in...

[Matt34]

3 weeks living out of your bags sucks but I'm almost there. Currently in Baghdad and have one more move before I'm to my assigned camp.

So are you limited to "stuff" that fits in one duffle and one bin?

Not us K9 handlers, with all the dog gear we're lucky to get everything in 3 duffles and 3 footlockers, some guys brought more.

It's real nice to hear from you!
Glad to see you and Beast are doin' OK.
Stay out of trouble and come back soon.

Matt,

Great pics. How long are you stationed there? Will you have access to internet every day?

Matt,

Can't give that info out right now but I won't be at this camp much longer. As far as internet capabilities at the new camp, I'm not sure.

Glad to know you're ok Matt..Thank you for the service..and be safe..

 

[Ajax]

Thank you, Matt. And please pass that "thank you" on to your buddies. Get 'er done, and get home safe, all of you.

 

[Matt34]

Oh....a word of advice, just cause you have a decent set of noise-cancelling headphones, that doesn't mean they'll work in a C130.

You can still hear mortars with them on too.

LOL! Great airplane, but not designed for passenger comfort. Had my scariest moment (well.............second scariest) in Nam in a C130 coming into the airport in Saigon. The pilot had to make 3 tries at landing. At one point, very close to the ground, we were standing on one wing tip. Wind sheer is such fun.

We'll get on the manufactures right away about this!

Good to hear from you Matt. Thank you to you, Beast and all of the service men and animals for the work you do.

Stay sharp and come home soon,
