ReplyDeleteAll the best.
I found this page by googling the camp. Thank you for posting this. My husband will be there soon and now I can put a picture with the name for where he is going.
ReplyDeleteYour boyfriend is definitely not in the Garden Spot of Iraq, but most of the guys I served with who were assigned there got to like--less chicken shit than a big base and good security.

I am living in this tent right now. The brown Fridge is still here on the same shelf. The green sheet are still up. Not much has changed.
ReplyDeleteI also have a fiance who is stationed there until April 2011. It is very nice to be able to see how he is living over there. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe soldiers I know who were there actually liked it at Garry Owen--that was my big surprise.

Please take these photos down. There have been a string of attacks on southern bases in Southern Iraq recently. Those looking to kill Soldiers don't need any more intelligence then they already have.
ReplyDeleteWhen we close Iraq down, feel free to put these photos back up.
