Nothing really new to report other than our convoy we sent to Baghdad yesterday was hit by a SVBIED. Everybody is ok except for a few minor dings. Today we trained the IPs we did our patrols and now we kicking back and relaxing a bit on our down time.

Today's weather was sunny with a strong and chilly wind out of Syria. I really hate the wind out here though. We get dust/sand all over us and our weapons. It all makes for a lot of cleaning. I would guess the temps today would range in the mid 70s to the mid 80s. Down right cold at night to boot.

1st pic) We caught an insurgent inside the wire. We believe at this time his motive was to crap on our clean uniforms in our goofy little laundry hut. We couldn't get any info out of him so we executed our famous catch and release program we have here in Iraq.

2nd pic) Another insurgent we caught inside the wire. We believe that his motive was to spread biological germs everywhere. We couldn't question him as our guard had already executed him on the spot.

3rd pic) On patrol this morning.
