Volume Seven (Final Iraq Post)

So I thought all was well, it was 20 March, and I was thinking about getting outta here, and then all of a sudden, the JAM decided they wanted to fight again. Between March 23rd and yesterday, my unit here called in more airstrikes and atrillery support then they had the entire previous year. My unit lost 2 men, and 3 others were seriously wounded. All this despite the fact that we're all due to return home this week. It sucks losing people this close to the end, and sucks even more knowing that it could've been avoided. I cannot go into details, but catch me over a beer sometime and I might fill you in. The amount of indirect fire we've been getting on the FOB here has gone way up too, they seem determined to make my last few days interesting.

This will be my last post for a while, as I will be out of the net due to travel, from here to BIAP, to Kuwait, and then eventually Topeka and back to Ft. Riley. I should be breathing Kansas air by this time next week.
