Remember me! Hello from Balad, Iraq!

[Mixedpuppy]

Hey Guys!

It's me Bobby aka Mixedpuppy. I was on this post several months back but later I was deployed. Anyway. I'm assigned to the 21st Combat Support Hospital (A Co.) in Camp Anaconda, near Balad, Iraq. Things have been pretty wild since I've been here. I'm an ER nurse out here. Sporatic mortar attacks and a number of casualties coming in. Moments of tragedy mixed with rare moments of triumph. I get home to Texas in March. I then to my Parents home by April, in Dayton, Ohio. When I first came to this site you guys were overwhelmingly welcoming and gave me valuable advice. Sad thing is my Trans Am I owned since 1999 has only 38,000 miles and I haven't driven it much for a while. Thanks again guys for the advice.

Are there any f-bods in Iraq?? I would think there would be some rich guy in a palace somewhere with one. I know some guys have them in Saudi Arabia...

I'm in Kuwait. Give me a holler if you come down here. I saw a 66 Charger last week. I went closer for a better look and I saw 426 Hemi! I talked to the owner who showed me the car. Absolutely stock and low miles. He talked about the other 25 musclecars he has. Everything GM and Mopar, he has it. If I see him again, I'll try to wrangle a visit to his garage.

Yes there are F-bodies down here. If fact I saw a Black SS in a parking lot on the way to work. People drive like idiots here though. Every car has evidence of bumper bashing.

I'm in Iraq, don't get a chance very often to get on the internet, besides the army stuff but i always come on this site to see what's new. Rangerbob, part of that bumper bashing is from me, atleast up here when i run the cars off the road. I have fun, but im nice to the f-body's. They are few and far between, especially in Baghdad and surrounding cities. Must be nice to be in kuwait, i remember those days, earlier this yr on the first tour over here! Well thanks to all that appreciate what we are doing here.

From a fellow troop, thanks for what you are all doing. If I could come back and help I would! Merry Xmas to all of you. I know it must be hard to be in a miserable place like that for the holidays. God Bless!

If any of you are over in Quatar and can get off base...goto the Ritz Carlton! right on the coast! Awesome R&R. We went there on our 1 day off...sittin by the pool when 9 russian 18 year old models came out for a swim! that was pleasant!
