        June 3rd, 2009. The day before I left JSS Sadr City for good, the Raiders’s cheerleaders came over to visit our base.   One of the soldiers of 2-5 CAV unit, got reenlist through this event, and while these cheerleaders were holding the USA flag this young soldier raised his right hand and swear to defense the nation for another term.     It’s very obvious that in bases where the main number of occupants are males, more likely it will be entertainment for only men, but for the girls of...

                 While looking to a map of Iraq, I found curious and funny how our soldiers named the streets of their occupied territory. What got my attention is that it shows that the names of these streets were obviously made by  men. Here are some examples: Using beverage names: Colt, Budweiser, Red Bull, Corona, Guinness, Becks, Labatts, Schlitz, Miller, Heineken, Sharps, J. Daniels, Tecate, Wild Turkey, etc. Using Metals names: Cooper, Silver and Gold Using Animals names: Goat, Cow... Read Full Story

        As well you all may know, I left Iraq for a 14 day pass, after almost 9 months of being away in this 12 month deployment. It was quite challenging to take off from where I was and I got in a real trouble while doing so. First, I have less than 12 hours to pack and wait for a Black Hawk helicopter to pick me up. When I arrived to the helicopter pat to wait for this bird, I noticed that they put concrete fences around it, not knowing where was the entry, I walked around it fully loaded... Read Full Story
