Getting closer

So. We are now a few weeks out from leaving for the big desert. I am looking forward to getting over there and getting this shindig started. This will be my third (3rd) trip to Iraq and its sorry to say but it gets easier the more often I have to do it. For those who dont know, I have been serving in the United States Army for the last 17.5 years. I am on active duty and I am in the Signal Corp. I currently work with the AN/TRC-170(V)2 Tropospheric Scatter Microwave Radio Terminal.



These things are pretty impressive. They can transmit a 2000 watt signal well over 100-150 miles. They put out enough power from the antennae on the front to cook popcorn (true story).

Here is a picture of some of the equipment I will be bringing.


M4 Rifle.
IOTV (Improved Outer Tactical Vest) Body armor
XBOX 360 (not shown).

More to follow.
