 |  | 7 month vacation to Iraq
< on 10/21/2008 2:42 AM >
|  | | | These pictures are from my 07-08 deployment. This place was in the middle of know were. It was a small air field at one time but now is just a bunch of shot up bunkers. The only thing of interest there was the remains of the burnt out armory
and the huge bomb craters.

| | | | Looks like an interesting find, were the bunkers totally empty? No equipment or documents left behind?

| | | | We were there to temporarily. Part of the base is still used by the Iraqi army
One of the bunkers was packed with expended rounds and links, But you could tell that it had been on fire because all the wars were chard and the top of the building had shifted 2in's other than that there wasn't much else
