I remember those days in 2004-05 (FOB Warhorse, Baquobah, Iraq) and 2006-07 (COB Speicher, Tikrit, Iraq).

I've been to Speicher but in 03. Stayed there for about 3 weeks in early May after jumping from Taji. Moved on to Baji and then Iranian border in Khanakin after that for a few months. Stayed across the river from Tikrit palaces for the month of November before moving to Samara to do route clearance on Hwy 1 until March of 04.

Funny how things change. Back in 1990 you were lucky if you had a radio (other than a Walkman ) or a Game Boy.

SSG Dennis Grossmann - My buddy SPC Mike Johnson would let us borrow his game boy. After playing Tetris for a few hours, we would have blocks before our eyes for several hours.

SSG Dennis Grossmann - In Viet Nam We sometimes did listen to Hanoi Hanna. One of the times We were listening She wished a SSgt in our unit a Happy Birthday and it was His Birthday. One guy said, sounds like She is letting us know that they know things about us.

At FOB Warrior, KRAB in Kirkuk (before we left and years before ISIL was just outside the city) I was in a room full of 0-1/0-2s in Iraq. Our Bn put most of us in one room which was nicknamed 'the dairy queen since it was painted red and white. One 1LT from the IDARNG got mail from home with the last season of the Sopranos, Star Trek Enterprise and the remake of Battlestar Gallactica. It felt weird escaping from boring at times FOB and watching something from home. We had a decent tv and stereo since the 25th ID basically gave it to us when the left. We also had and Xbox or a Playstation as well. We had A/C too and we stayed in our room (instead of going to a bunker far away) when they fired the occasional 107mm rocket into our base.

LTC Stephen Conway - Awesome video. The opportunities to watch military aircraft, especially attack type both rotary and fixed wing performing their mission was something that never got old to me..

SGT Jonathon Caldwell - the beginning of lost with the engine still running sucking people was dumb but I did see lost as part of the movies we got from home.
