The adventures of SFC Mike in Baghdad Part 1

[Anonymous]

Mike,

Be safe and I miss you running up the back of me- 😆 How long is your tour?

[Tom Dennin]

Hey Mike,

Thanks and sorry you have to be over there. I remember our conversations about you going over if I remember correctly this is something you wanted. If I can be of any help here let me know.

Can you receive pictures from over here? or are your computers to slow?

Can we send a package to that address or is it only letters?

Take care and check in when you get time so we can all know you are doing fine.

God Bless,

Tom :us

Mike, keep your head down and good luck…

[Michael Hurley]

Hey guys,
Good to hear from you. :cheers:

Rich, don’t worry about missing me too much. I’ve contracted with another TaG Masters driver to take my place for the sole pupose of giving you greef and dents. 😆

Tom, You’re right, this is something I wanted. I will retire in Feb of ’08. I didn’t want to go out with the last years spent holdin’ a chair to the ground. Here, in this unit, I can get out a look for the bad guys and still jump out of airplanes and spend a lot of time at the rife range.
The pipeling is a bit too small to get pictures very well. The best thing to do is if you take a bunch of pictures at the races, save them to a CD and send that in the mail. The address is good for all types of mail. U.S. mail that is.

Stacey, Roger wilco on that and I would add “and shoot straight” or “aim small miss small”.

Take care guys.
SFC Mike, OUT

Hey Mike,

Make sure you hit the BAD GUYS and not guys like Rich! 😉

Kick Butt and come back after you’ve done your job. First Beer’s on me… :cheers:

PS The Karting suit in the summer gave you good training for the warm days over there… 8)

TEAM ARROW/ROTAX will miss you this year, Mike!! Kick butt and come back safe!

[Craig Mansfield]

:rotate: I thank you for your committment. I know that my son enjoyed packages from home when he was in Iraq, send me youir address and I will get something out to you.

[Michael Hurley]

Hi Craig, Is your son still over here? And if so can he say where?
Its always great to get things from home. My old softball budies in and around Woodland Park said they are going to send a whole bunch of Colorado post cards to me so I could wall paper my hooch.

Sorry. Please forgive my ignorance.

Hey Mike,

Hang in there, dude. With luck you’ll be so busy that the time will go by faster than you might imagine.

I will be saying good-bye to some good friends and unit members who are being deployed in just a few weeks. I am non-deployable for medical reasons otherwise I’d be leaving in mid-March, too. I don’t know whether to feel lucky about not going over there or to feel embarrassed that I will be ?go out with the last years spent holdin’ a chair to the ground.?

Best wishes for a safe return! We’ll see you at the track for the 2007 season.

Hope to meet you at a TAG race when you return !
