Iraq Deployment

#1 on my 3rd deployment I had the pleasure to work with an MP and his dog to clear a compound of 32 buildings which was right next to their FOB (forward operating base) I'm on the right. #2 after clearing half the buildings wearing 50 lbs of gear and ammo in 115 degrees, we had to take a 5 minute breather. #3 Bingo 5 buildings to go and we find a big cache of rocket and artillery rounds over 200, compound was cleared by the next day, special thank to the MP and his dog.

Ouch! Thanks for sharing your personal pictures, stuff that we don't see every day. Again, thanks for serving! Does your TBI limit you today? I'm sure it must, but can I ask in what way? Just tell me if I'm getting too personal and to leave it alone. :)

your fine thanks, yes it does effect me but its hard to describe. I have short term memory loss, and suffer from sever headaches, the PTSD on the other hand is the hardest. Certain things trigger that and I get sever anxiety. Like if I see a tire on the road or a big white trash bag anything that reminds of what I've been blown up by really, and I've been blown up 7 times so loud noises, I cant even enjoy the 4th of July with all the fireworks. But the people in my neighborhood always stop by and give me a warning that they will be setting of fire works at a certain time which I applaud them for that. And again I didn't mean to start any trouble or controversy on here, I was simply posting pictures to let people see the hardships our Brave Men and Women go through to protect our freedoms so we can truly be a Free country and that goes out to all our first responders as well.
