twitter UAF

I found the twitter account of the UAF journalist in Iraq. They have a little insight to the 3/2 starting to show up.

"strykernews RT @cptfunkaho: Troops from the 3-2 SBCT are beginning to arrive to replace the 1-25th at Warhorse. The end is in sight. #UAFiraq

cptfunkaho Power going up and down all over FOB Warhorse - the hot weather and increased population are playing hell with the generators. #UAFiraq

cptfunkaho The new brigade's arrival is crowding the base facilities and causing some friction as the 3-2 personnel put their stamp on things. #UAFiraq"

Woohoo my countdown on my homepage is under 20 days! I'm so excited.

Embedded Reporters from UAF

When I first read about them going over to Iraq, I wasn't impressed. Most of the reporters do a short, edited piece and come home. But they have actually wrote a few articles that are interesting to read. And yea, I scan the pictures and videos for people I know.

“Be safe, fall out.”

The first group of Stryker soldiers made it home yesterday.

"The 150 troops in the “torch party” will make preparations in the coming weeks for the rest of the 4,200 person brigade to return to Fort Wainwright from Iraq."

Welcome home..now let's get the rest of 1-25th all safely home!
