LUCKY 7

Folks, the site is going to get serious now. Everything has been fun and games but you better be prepared to hear the worst. Soldiers who pay the ultimate price will be remembered here. Close calls and celebrations of survival will be recorded here. If you are not ready for it (and you aren't) than decide now to stay onboard or call it quits. I am not going to hold back and things are getting ugly around here. I promised to keep your kids safe and I will do all I can but I can't send them home and I can't be with all of them all the time. We are in a war zone with real enemies. There are things I wont publish because I dont want to inform that enemy. Many incidents you will read in the papers or see on the news before you see it here. Theres a reason for that. I am not trying to alarm you, I simply can't pretend that everything is great for a whole year.

I asked C.P. if he really wanted to publish this picture and he said yes. So here it is, lucky # 7.
The armor really does work. The scar on the door is from an RPG which then hit the mirror and exploded. No-one was hurt in this ambush which included small arms fire. The crews reaction was suprise and anger and they attacked before heading back home. C.P. has earned his Combat Action Badge today.
