Back To Work, and BEER!
Categories: Iraq
So, we are finally going back out on patrols. It was very nice getting out of the FOB and back into the city. Mosul is a very large city, I think the second or third largest in the country. We had the elections and they went smoothly, even here. Yeah they cordoned off most of the city to keep car bombs out and only allowed foot traffic, but if that is what it takes to have a peaceful election, then so be it. It is better than the alternative. We met our Iraqi Army counterparts and I am really looking forward to working with these guys. They seem like they have their act together, as does most of the IA in the country.
And we got to have two real beers for the Superbowl as well. I had a Heiniken and a Coors Light. Man that tasted so good. I wanted to watch the game but I was getting tired by 2:00 AM.
