To The PSD Secret Admirer

I got a little comment from some "Secret Admirer" who wouldn't disclose there name and she (I'm assuming its a girl, though I guess it could be a dude you never know these days) he/she said that they wanted to see "more" of the Soldiers but this is a family blog and I can't be posting twigs and berries all over the blog... So we all posed for Sexy pics except for me... Though it did give me an idea I think I might make a little PSD calender........ So for your entertainment I present the men from the PSD....
Here we have Jimmy he is an older gentleman but he has no problem standing at attention if you know what I mean.......










Here we have Gary promoting the Red Bull...

Here is Cowboy Drake... I know how all women want a cowboy......

Here is Jacob our recent divorcee... He is in to long walks on the beach and interested in traveling abroad... In the below posts you've seen Eggs he is a single strapping young buck and well mannered fellow...... I would have posted pics of Spantonio Banderas but he gets all pissy when you try to take his pictures, but I think there is one on here of him in front of the TATA truck..... Enjoy....

Ode to Eggs

Here is a little story about our friend eggs "Eggleston". Eggs is a religious lil guy, well mannered (well when he isn't playing a sports game on X-Box but what does he expect when he choses teams out of the Capitol area). He isn't a Combat Arms guy but you wouldn't be able to tell that about him... Shit half the time I forget that he is a fridge mech... Hard working and reliable come to mind when talking about Eggs.... He was recently "benched" from the team and is currently riding the rest of the deployment out from behind a desk.. Not cuz we want him there trust me we want him out on the road with us... See Eggs wasn't supposed to come to Iraq he has a condition with his eye's where he gets something like Cold Sores on his eyes, and the sun, wind, dust, and heat aggravate the condition... So now Eggs has scarring on his cornea that will affect his vision later on in life. So the powers that be said no more... So he has to sit by the phone... I know he doesn't want to and I know we don't want him to.... He is the hardest refrigeration mechanic that I know... Eggleston is a damned good Soldier, got screwed into coming here by HHC (and a myriad of other people but I don't know the whole story so take it as face value that I might just be talking out of my ass) but he did his mission without bitching and to the best of his ability, when we got nailed in Samarra and the guys in his truck were out of the fight Eggs comes over the Radio and starts giving his LACE and a little sit rep and keeping us informed with whats going on. The picture of the crew below you see Eggs on the left with a big grin on his face.. Thats just an attestment to my mans character. Pretty much I just want Eggs to know and everyone else for that matter that we know you got screwed man and we would roll through the gates of hell with you any damn day of the week......

I mean fone duty.... We've went on a couple O trips since I been back... One we took out to some Mountain in the middle of nowhere to a retranstation where on top of the Mountain you can look out and see Iran I got some pics of that. Today we went out and came across a burning fuel tanker in the middle of the road all on fire and shit in the middle of no where... It was great.. Camp Speicher has a Taco Bell now.. Oh boy were we ever excited to eat some taco bell. The pictures I have here aren't to exciting but I hope that you enjoy them regardless. We had some long ass road trips man.. We were definitely some Red Bull drinking mofo's. I had like 5 and ol' Sarnt Spantonio and Gary had 3 a piece... do we ever love some redbull...We've been rollin with a handy horn to a loud as horn in a can. Its funny we honk it at hodgie and he just moves out... No IED's which is always good. Oh ya bad news the Red Dragon went down and now ol Ru is in 7 Ru thats the truck now... we nick named it PW.... Use your imagination. I'll be home soon... We are breaking things down here and getting excited to go home... Not to much longer.....Ya so nothing to exciting... I have to get around taking some mo pics of the Palaces and stuff around here.... If some of you folks would e-mail me and tell me what you want to see I could accomadate yall.... Damn I really don't have anything else to say.. The trips we had were uneventful... Well for us anyway.. Just the usual you know craters that make your turd cutter pucker burning fuel trucks... Ummmm ya thats it man... I promise to try to be more whitty on the next post... So to all you Angry American fans feel free to post and tell me what you would like to see or ask questions or something.... I was actually thinking about making a PSD calendar... I'll see what the guys have to say... Alright guys... I'm a post these pics and well watch the phone... Peace and RedBulls... and if you havent had it you should try it... A red Bull and vodka or something... Ok for real this time......

Mo Pics from RnR

Man o Man this is my big girl. Believe it or not she picked out the bicycle. Well she picked out something different but then Toys R Imported along with our non english speaking employees pissed me off and lied to me for 3 days so I went to a respectable sporting store and got this one and wouldn't you know she loved it... She picked out the Camelflauge helmet. She is a tomboy I guess you could say. I taught her how to ride the bicycle before I left.. She just has to work on turning!

Me and my fresh pimp.. We have the same double chinner!
Me and my baby girl snoozin.. Or at least I was
Me and my man at the beach its his first trip... He loved it... Ya I know I need some sun and trust me I got it....
Me and the kiddiessss.... Not a very flattering picture of myself. Ya I'm still trying to figure out the whole format for this stuff and you know I'm lost so enjoy.... Roodawg out!

R & R

This is a pic of me and my lil Homie!---- Well folks I came and went. I was on R n R for a while (well 2 weeks) it was pretty nice. I got to spend time with my family. It was really nice to see them my boy got so big and my daughters even more beautiful than I remembered. We hung out and went to some theme parks and had a pretty good time. It was pretty weird being home.
I flew from Iraq to Kuwait then to Germany then to Atlanta. In Atlanta you walk up the stairs to the main terminal to catch your connecting flight to where ever your going. As I was walking up the steps the main terminal came into view and it was like a mall. It was so weird just people walking around like...... well like normal.. It was just a strange feeling. Meanwhile my brothers in arms and myself are wondering through the airport looking for our connecting gates to take us all the way home. We are in our desert camelflage uniforms mind you. Some people would stare and quickly look away other people just didn't pay any attention to us. Some folks walked up and shook my hand and said thank you. I walked to my gate and sat down. Nobody talked to me. Which is fine, but just a little weird I guess. All I could think about is how life goes on. Then a guy I recognized from the flight over sat down next to me. We bullshitted until it was time to bored the plane, a United flight no less. I sat towards the front and he sat towards the back. So I had no company for the last leg of the trip. I did sit and watch them give up 2 1st Class seats to 2 civilian women. That was nice. Can't complain to much cuz I did sit 1st class on the way back... The gas prices tripped me out a bit... Guess they can pin as high as they want and as the gas guzzling Americans we are we will pay that shit.... It will get upto like 5 then down to 3 and we will call it cheap... But anywho man I had a great time at home. Then as quick as it began it was over and it was time to bored the damned plane back... I was stuck in Kuwait for a couple of days which led to some ripe uniforms. I got back here and I start reading articles in the paper on how the politicians have outlawed the pledge of allegiance and how kids can't celebrate Christmas and how its just happy holidays. wow that shit really pisses me off. I swore to protect this country from all enemies foreign and domestic and I'm out here fighting a war on terror but back home its the American people who are slowly but surely stripping other Americans of civil liberties.. WTF over? Wow.... Crazy just crazy...
K enough of that. Well enough of that if there is anything you would like me to post or pics you want to see just e-mail me or comment and let me know....... Aight....
Its me Pimp Snooky.. It was so weird not wearing damned DCU's
Its my baby in her butterfly sunglasses... Man those things were crackin me up!

Man this girl got big and she is so smart its so crazy!!!!
Youll have to turn your head sideways on this one cuz I forgot to rotate it.. My bad but my man is still pimp in his Spongebob digs....

Another Lazy Day

This is a pic of I guess you would call it the gates to tikrit....... Another day with really nothing to do so me and Jake came down to the MWR where I purchased a bootleg DVD and now I'm on the comp to post a couple more pics.. I'm going on leave soon and I'm pretty stoked about that.. I get to see my son for the first time in 9 months last time I saw him he was 2 months old... My girls are getting so big I just can't wait to see them.. I should be in Florida either Monday or Sunday.... Ok here are so mo pics... Remember if you have any requests or even pics that you would like me to post let me know in a comment or e-mail me at dco5thplt@hotmail.com or if you know it then hit me at my AKO account.....
This is the nice welcome sign for Tikrit
This is a Palace at FOB Dagger which we recently just gave back to the Iraqis.
Can't remember where this was or what it is but its cool... I think this is at FOB Omaha...
This too....

Hodgie Pics

This pic was takin at a FOB hand over ceremony in our A/O this little crazy dude was running around with a sash on him and my gunner dubbed him Ms.Tikrit... He is seen here posing with 7RU the first pic we got of him he jumped up on our hood and about got smoked... Pretty funny though...
This here is Hassan. Good guy he showed us some pics of his family and stuff. We were actually pretty impressed with these Iraqi Soldiers. On the way in there security was pretty tight and one of the hodgies actually cleared his weapon before he let me see it... One dude was gayer then a 2 dollar bill and wanted some figgy figgy time with ol' Drake... Well and me but who doesn't I'm one sexy bitch baby ya.... Sorry fellas I'm only down with chicks... I'm spoken for....!!!!
This is a picture of some of the Sheiks that showed up...
This one was taken awhile ago at a JCC in Baquba these turds were little bastards... You see here that he is reppin the Shocker... He actually tried to talk me into giving him 9mm ammo so he could give it to his brother who was Iraqi police so that he could shoot "Ali Babba" Ali Babba is known as a thief, but also what some use to describe the insurgents... This kids father was an Iraqi soldier at the JCC we were at.

This is a family of Iraqis that came out to wave at us when we were driving past.. A lot of the children will here the trucks coming and run out to the side of the road and wave at us and give us the thumbs up.. Mostly they are looking for us to throw some goodies from the truck... This is a good sign usually when kids and people are out like this it means that you most likely aren't gonna get blowed up... Now if your traveling down an area that is usually populated like this and there is no one out chances are your gonna eat one...

On the lighter side of things........

Howdy friends, I'm on phone duty and I'm bored and its late.... Well this here is my pal Jake he drives the boss around... He is actually where I got the idea to a blog from.. I waz reading in his blog how I don't really have any pics of him so here they are... Good ol' Jake is partaking in the smoking of the huka.. No there isn't anything illegal in that boys lungs its just some Apple Medley Tobacco that stuff is really good.. Though Jake is a aspiring politician you can plainly see he is not inhaling....
Isn't he cute??? He will probably kill me for this one but I just couldn't resist... Jake is recently seperated from his spouse and is currently on the market.. If your interested please send me one pack of Newports... Kidding.. Jake has his own blog if your interested in Jake or just a different perspective on what its like to be here his is www.jakedsnake.blogspot.com
Jake n Gary... Don't be fooled Gary is mine!
Here is all us jess a chillin outside in da shade...
Here is me hangin out with an Iraqi MP (remember folks you can't spell WIMP with out MP)- sorry Wade but your a Corpsman now... This guy was actually pretty squared away.... this was takin at the change over ceremony at one of the FOBs in our AO... I'll post more pics of that in a minute cuz I can only post 5 pics per entry.... so stay tuned

A sad trip to Summerall

We went to Summerall today. One of the units there the 1/103 Armor out of Pennsylvania recently had 6 soldiers killed in IED attacks... Here are some pictures of the memorial monument..


I think this is one of the saddest things that I've seen since I've been here. As you can see they placed the flag and a helmet with a cross wrapped around it to honor their fallen comrades.. Everyone in this vehicle was killed except for the gunner he was blown clear of the truck and was later found walking around without his helmet or body armor on and he believed he was home... I couldn't imagine losing my whole crew guys that I've been with for a while or in that Soldiers case day 1......
That used to be a humvee.. As you can see it was blown to pieces.
To those Soldiers that died in these attacks God Bless and God Speed and thank you for your sacrifice, your efforts will not be forgotten...
Semper Fi!

A moment of silence for 6 Soldiers of the 1/103 Armor

WAR IS AN UGLY THING, BUT NOT THE UGLIEST OF THINGS. THE DECAYED AND DEGRADED STATE OF MORAL AND PATRIOTIC FEELING, WHICH THINKS THAT NOTHING IS WORTH WAR IS MUCH WORSE. THE PERSON WHO HAS NOTHING FOR WHICH HE IS WILLING TO FIGHT, NOTHING WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HIS OWN PERSONAL SAFETY, IS A MISERABLE CREATURE AND HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING FREE, UNLESS MADE SO AND KEPT SO BY THE EXERTIONS OF BETTER MEN THAN HIMSELF!


JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873)

How it be sucka....

This is a little informative bit for yall who don't know what it is like to drive around this dump- I mean.... Shithole... Here is a pic of us driving down the road.. We drive in the center of the road because of all the goodies that hodgie likes to plant on the sides of the roads.. Hodgie plants these things in animal carcasses, craters from the previos IED his ass dug in, boxes, trash, you name it he will rig it... Even donkeys that aren't dead yet.... So traffic is forced to get over and make way... oh did I tell you about the land mines too that could be on the side of the road as of recent they are using a lot more mines and the smart little buggers can rig them in the middle of the road.. you would like to think these bastads were stupid but they are not... So just driving down the road can be pretty taxing your always looking for something that could possibly blow up or be an ambush or what ever... Who would have ever thought especially after living in upstate New York that an animal carcass on the side of the road would make your asshole pucker... So as I was saying traffic gets out of your way or else.........................
.....they magically land on their sides... No just kidding sirry... This dude decided to swerve at an oncoming patrol.. This is bad cuz at the time this was going on we thought it was a VBIED (vehicle born improvised explosive device) it wasn't the guy just turned out to be stupid or something... because he swerved at this......
A big ol' Stryker... Y? We don't know.
Then he got out of his flipped ass car and charged the patrol so they put him down... don't worry ladies and gentleman though because we treat enemy WIA as we would or own.... So as you can see here he is getting the best medical treatment we can provide... Ask me about this later cuz this was funny.... Though I've seen videos of the best medical treatment that insurgents can provide and it just makes me derned proud to come from such a civilized nation such as our own... Blast those prisons in Cuba... So we actually escorted these guys to the nearest FOB so that this scum bag piece of shit could go to the hospital... Scum bag piece of shit I mean "Local National"!

With this pic I'm trying to give you an idea about how nasty it is and what you have to be weary of... Like that nice big drum there could hold a lot of goodies in it... In some places there are just piles and piles of garbage that hodgems can just throw a "Burlap Boom!"- lil joke there you probably won't get it if you weren't in the truck.... This is a good sign though- the traffic you see to your left... Now say that it was rush hour day like this and that lane was empty then most likely your going to have the seat cushion sucked between your buttocks and your teeth clenched cuz something is bout to explode... No nothing exploded on the day that this particluar pic was taking and no hodgies were hurt during the creation of this post....
Thank you for your support... If you have any questions about things that go boom ask my gunner but speak up cuz Gary? dont hear so well now a days...

Sum mo pics fo you

On this one I figure I would find some pics that are kinda funny.... These are the best PG rated ones I could find for now.... This Picture is I took out at FOB Oryan. A lot of the people at our FOB complain and stuff about being here but we live in palaces and what not and there are a few air conditioned trailer bathroom thingys around here but some of the FOBS in our A/O don't have anything hence this is a pisser. Ya they have porta johns and stuff but for the most part if your Porta Johns aren't emptied on a regular basis they will get that coning effect where in part you have to hover over the cone pertruding from the tolilet. Much like the cherry on top deal.. Ok I'll stop it is pretty gross.... Ya so anyway this is a pisser......
War is hell ain't it?
Iraqi gas station... See how hodgie has his little barrel of gas and his 2 liter bottle with a hose attatched... There are a couple of gas stations that I've seen with pumps and stuff but the lines for those can be up to a mile long and 3 cars wide...
Wow who is the sexy piece of man flash on top of the Red Dragon?????? I should send that one to maxim cuz damn I have it goin on.....
Here is our fearless leader standing in front of the TATA truck... Funny story behind this but I told Gotti I would come back and edit this post and omit the story.... But it was funny... Well not for him.... I love you homie....
