My nephew was there from day 2 of the war til Nov. He was with the 3rd Armored Calvary out of Ft Sill. He was driving the MRLS' and thier support vehicles. He said they came under fire once. They transported Delta Force in. Said they were hiding behind things while the Delta guys just walked towards the fire and firing shots. He was carrying a M-16/M203 and a M-249 w/scope. And he's only 5'5" tall. lol He gave a kid a US $1 once while there and got a bill with Hussein on it which he sent to me. He transported the weapons they found and took them to other places. He said he had some photos of buried Migs in the sand that Saddam had tried to hide. He was coming back from a transportation gig and his truck caught fire. He was putting it out and got hit in the face with the fire extinguisher by someone else. He was blind for a week. But he's doing great now. He's doing the reserves bit where he went to Qatar then got sent to Iraq for 2 weeks to help with a warehouse for medical supplies.
