[Pappy]

I would be proud to bust some caps with ya;) Hel, I would love to come visit where your at now, it would add more realism:devil:

[Eviltanker]

Don't worry Pappy, I'll try to send you enough pictures to hopfully get a feel of what my guys are doing and going through.

[Pappy]

how much longer to you have on this tour? and is there anything you all want mailed over?

[Eviltanker]

[Pappy]

[Eviltanker]

SSG Frank Jost
DCo. 3/103 AR / TF PACESETTER
Bagram Airfield
APO AE 09354

I will make sure stuff gets distributed to the Platoon.
We are leaving soon to go to a firebase, The spring push is coming and being a maneuver PLT we will be busy. I will keep in touch.

[Pappy]

[spanky101]

both are nice guns! we used to have one but we sadly sold it :( i loved that gun! but best wishes to you Eviltanker to you and all your guys! once i get some money ill definatly be sending you guys a package!

[Eviltanker]

Leters from the U.S. are the best things that people can send . That and Old ATV mags. We can't get ATV mags here, they do not sell them. All but maybe 6 of my guys are riders.

[wilkin250r]

Okay, I gotta know. Why the baby wipes?

[Eviltanker]

Baby wipes are great for the following:
Wiping your butt.
quick wipe downs since we will not have showers for a while
good for wiping down weapons when on the move

[Pappy]

amen on the baby wipes!!!


atv insider is going to try and send me a bulk shipment of thier latest issue, i will forward it to you guys! how about some atv riders shirts and sticker...i dig seeing our sticker on ****:devil:

[Eviltanker]

You send the stuff I promise you will get some interesting pictures of possibly military equipment with stickers on them.

[416exfreak]

Hey pappy, you should send them a 450 to ride :devil:

Osama and ahkmed wouldnt be able to hit a marine doing a ride by at 70.:blah: :macho

Best wishes to all of you in the Armed Forces. Thank you for making sure we can all sleep safely at night.:)

[Bradracer18]

Be safe over there, and get back home soon and jump on that quad!

Address is posted on the first page. ;)

[Eviltanker]

I have 40 guys and change, not really alowed to say how many. Afew of us are talking about starting a riding club when we get home . Could anybody possibly send me a link on how to start an official one? Don't really have time to research it. Anyway, When we get home we are getting together (bunch of us from here) and going to start an annual ride on one of my dudes land (1000 acres approx. in potter co.) we are calling it "Thunder on the Mountain" We are looking at family oriented. with barbeques and fishing, Not forgeting RIDING,RIDING,RIDING. Plus some drag racing. Granted everything goes ok.

Because after 7 days living in a Stryker you look like this. We weren't really living in it since we were dismounted the whole freaking time, lol. This was taken the morning of Jan 10th, 30 degrees and snowing in Iraq, 8 hrs after my first son was born.

[Eviltanker]

went shooting yesterday.

[Eviltanker]

FAMAS is nice but, I prefer my M4. We where outside the firebase shooting with the French foriegn legion (Not to be confused with french army)

[trx450r ryder]

thank u for serving i cant even put into words how much that means to me that someone will go over their when they dont have to and alot of people dont realize any of that thank u for fighting for our country :) oh and u were talking about wat yall' were shooting ....im not bragging or nothing but check out wat im pakin.
<a href="http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/blaketrx450r/?action=view&current=M107.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/blaketrx450r/M107.jpg" border="0" alt="barret 50.cal"></a>its not mine cause my camera is broke but it looks like it... semi-auto and all :devil:

[DF400ex]

Those are a lot of fun to shoot. My Bro's a sniper in the 1 ID, and we were at the same base here in Iraq for a few months so I got to shoot one pretty much when ever I wanted, but only on the bases 300 meter sniper range. We went out once and shot in the middle of no where and we were smashing water bottles at 500 meters. Those things kick like a mule, but a great way to spend 7k, lol.

[kawiefan]

Thank you for serving for our country.

sweet pics BTW

[Eviltanker]

Hey Pap, Been a while I'm sorry. Spring offensive has been real rough around here. Got a Package! Thank you Pap and Thank you Cody!

[Eviltanker]

Better pic. ATV riders is now part of the Platoon.

[Eviltanker]

Our other enemy..... The Camel Spider!!

[Pappy]

be safe, enjoy the reading.

[krt400ex]

thank you Eviltanker and DF400ex for serving our country (and thank you to anyone else who is serving). it means alot to me and my whole family to see that there are good men will to risk their lives for our country and so many people that they dont even know. i dont have the balz to do it. stay safe.

thats one hell of a spider im looking at here, i dont mind spiders, but that thing would cause me to s**t my pants...lol

btw, you guys cant be too far away from me, we should ride sometime when you get back

[Pappy]

I encourage everyone to gather a box of goodies to send over there. its cheap using the us mail, and they sure do appreciate things from home.


baby wipes (unscented, beef jerky, hard candy, magazines etc) its the least you can do! i know the goodies get spread around or used as barter (did when i had anything to do with it..lol)

Pap's right. I just returned home 2 weeks ago, but while I was in Iraq I was the guy who received a ton of packages from people back home. It seemed that I would get at least a package a day, and sometimes way more around the holidays. I would pass everything out to the soldiers in my unit and the brigade we supported. It's amazing how little things can bring joy to some of the soldiers. Especially those who do not receive packages from home that often, or ever. With the new boxes the USPS has just for shipping things to soldiers it's cheaper than ever to send stuff. If you need someone to send stuff to just go to soldiers angels or any adoption website. The troops will thank you.

[Eviltanker]

hey Pap,
Been awhile again! I'm finally backon main camp waiting for next job. (being a fighter is good and sucks at the same time) Been a rough go so far, I took 30% Purple Hearts in my platoon. (abeer or two is lookin mighty good right now!)Thought I'm past due to send some pics. You said about dusting some dudes. well this weapon (open sight) has done some damage around here. I have 3 but, this is mine.

[Pappy]

good to hear from you again! hope everyone is remaining as safe as can be;)

the M14 is a mighty fine weapon, one of my favorites. i have a few of them myself. i actually prefer it open sighted over having a scope mounted, its drop dead accurate, just a bit on the heavy side.

keep the pics coming when you can, and we will start assembling another package for you guys...pm me the address again if you could along with updating anything you fellers want or need.

Well Pap, Got some bad news.... Looks like I'm sitting the rest of the game out! Did something to my knee, I'm presently sitting in Germany waiting to be seen by the Doctors. Don't know if I'm getting surgery or what.

[Pappy]

Well, thats good and bad depending on how you look at it all. Hope its nothing to serious, but it would be good to see you come home!

[Moto49X]

Be safe over there brother. I respect the hell out of all of you for doing what you do, I sit here alot of times and wish I was over there with yall. Be carefull and i hope everyone comes home soon.

[HmF300ex]

Ye i got some old Dirt Wheels, old car mags, Summits, some snacks, and stuff like that i'll start saving up instead of tossing out.

[Eviltanker]

Well I'm coming home for sure. Tore my ACL, MCL, And that meniscus thing. Doctors don't understand how I walked on it for 4 months. If you guys want to send packages yet you can send them to the same address, just cange the name to David Klinger.
