Military deployment pics, post em up!

Here are some from the initial invasion of Iraq in 03...I was an Artilleryman then. I am holding the gold AK47 in the one picture. I didn't take many of the Iraq pictures I was too busy doing stuff. I took all of the Afghanistan pictures though.

Very front left row is me.

We found this suitcase MP5k in one of Saddam's Palaces:

Some from my Afghanistan deployment. You can see one of them is from where the Taliban destroyed the statues in Bamiyan province.

These are me...haha... :icon_ banana:

Next two were taken at FOB OrgunE

I've got videos too, but I don't really feel like uploading at the moment haha.

Matthew, I'm too old to have been in Iraq 1 or 2 or Afghanistan. However, from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for your service in the military. You are my heroes in life. Thanks for sharing these pictures here.

Nah man, I volunteered...I like it...I'm probably going to get out of the military but it was still a great experience. The Army paid me, gave me a place to live, a weapon(s) to defend myself, and allowed me to finish three of my college degrees...not to mention teach me a very valuable skillset for the civilian world (interrogation and source operations and a Top Secret clearance) as well as taught me Persian Farsi...I've been thanked enough in that regard.

But thanks
