They were based out of FOB Inchon. I will be forever grateful to our military for the courage and bravery shown in Iraq as well as Afghanistan. Too bad the "talking heads" in Washington don't have a better appreciation for what our troops have to endure in these basically hostile countries. May God Bless Our Troops!

The 155's he's talking about was Bravo 1-9 F.A. from 3RD I.D. We set a record for shooting over 10,000 rounds in a single deployment. And the Iraqy base was Patroll Base W-1. I was there. Mahmudiya was a real shit hole. Hodgey tried like hell to smoke us all the time, Thank God they're terrible shots. I remember this guy. The 155’s he’s talking about was Bravo 1-9 F.A. from 3RD I.D.

Too bad, I've been at Camp Taji for 12 months now and nobody...nobody ever comes here. I enjoy the column and it's always interesting seeing some areas described that I've worked in before...my unit had responsibility for Attack helicopter support for that AO, till 3ID took over. It may be my personal bias creeping to the fore, but you might find some interesting stuff if you visited an aviation unit or two in your travels. Cowboy Cheerleaders…good for them.
