HarvDog Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I just got a message from Mike (TSBH). If one of the mods could pin this, I'll continue to post future updates. Here's the message: Hey gents, what's going on. I am in California right now until about the end of August. They are preparing us for what lies ahead. It's pretty hot out here so that part sucks but everything is good to go. I am ready to get this party started. I am too busy to be screwing around on the forums but I will in deed keep in touch throughout my journey using this email address. I will be back in the forums in Feb time frame. You can give out this email address to the forums and I will try to answer all my emails I receive. TELL THEM to include their "REALTREE USERNAME" in the subject line so I know who it is. If I don't know who it is, I won't open the email. Once in country, I will provide an address as well. You all be cool and keep the party alive for me.

buckee Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Re: TreeStandBowHunter Update Thanks Harv. I'm going to move this to the political room (in a bit) and then pin it there. Mike would like that.. I'll let it float in the lounge for a while first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: TreeStandBowHunter Update Here is an update on TSBH [ QUOTE ] Hey gents, what's going on. Thanks for the emails. I miss the wife and kids already but besides that, everything else is good to go. We just finished up a week of convoy exercises for not if but when we encounter IED's. We will be starting our urban warfare training package tomorrow. We have 2 hours of language class in the evenings until about 9pm. We will be with the Iraqi's so I guess we must know their language. So needless to say, the days are long and hot. Again thanks for the emails and maybe one day I'll venture over to the forums. I have enough time every so often to come in here and answer a few emails but that's about it. We will be pretty busy of there from what I hear. We won't be sitting in some tent going out every so often to collect war relics and writing mom and pop telling them how much action we see every day. We will be doing real patrol ops everyday with the Iraqi's. I'm excited to do this actually. It will make time go faster and that's the good thing. There won't be time for confusion and bordom which is what you don't want over there. You all be cool. [/ QUOTE ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: TreeStandBowHunter Update Got an email from Mike today [ QUOTE ] What's up Realtree. Not much here. It's hot as heck here at Twentynine Palms. But then again, its hot over there too. The good thing is that it will be cooling down a little bit when we get over there. Been busy I'll tell you that. I am going on block leave towards the end of August. I will be flying back to Mass to see the wife and kids for about a week and then I will be leaving. When I am back in Mass, I will log into Realtree...I promise. So anyway, we train alot here and take language classes at night. The days are long and sleep time is at a minimum. I don't know what I was thinking when I begged to go back over. I could be sitting on my front porch right now drinking a rum and coke and smoking a cigar. The training is getting us ready though. The bad dudes are coming up with new kinds of IED's and VBIED's everyday and keeping us on our toes. Most are too scared to come out and fight muzzle to muzzle so they take the coward way out and use stuffed animal for an IED. Anyway, you all be cool and say hi to the Realtree forum gang for me.

buckee Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Re: TreeStandBowHunter Update Update from Mike [ QUOTE ] Hey gents, what's going on. Sorry I can't write back sooner but it's busy. It's 8:20pm right now and we just got out of language class. We are going to the field tomorrow for about 2 1/2 weeks and then that will pretty much wrap up out here. I will fly back to Mass for a week and then I will head over. I'll try to log on to realtree while I am home maybe even get into chat if it will ever let me in. Ever since I left Mod status I can't get in there. I used a special program to get in there as a Mod and afterward, I couldn't get in the normal way. Anyway, say hi to everybody for me and keep the party alive. Mike [/ QUOTE ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvDog Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: TreeStandBowHunter Update Just got an update from Mike: [ QUOTE ] Hey you guys, thanks for the emails. Buckee, whatever cam pics you sent, I couldn't see them..at least not on the computer I am on. I am not at a base. I am at a little hole in the wall out here near the Syrian border. We are busy but are doing great things here. We are working with the Iraqi Army. We had a few incidents so far but nothing major to write home about. IED's are going to happen, there is no getting past that. When your out and about, you can't focus on that or else you'll drive yourself nuts. You just say a prayer before you leave and hope that you come back. So far everything is good. My rilfe is still clean...but that's a good thing I guess!!! I will say this, the insurgents are a bunch of wimps (EDITED for public posting ). Most won't come out and fight. They take pot shots and run away. They are cowards. You all be cool and like they said in the movie Boondock Saints...I'll see you on the flip side! Well, time to start my day!
