			Iraq. What can I say about Iraq. Its hot. Iraqis not what I expected at all. Seriously, I expected a desert where I had an enemy around every corner. But that is not how it is at all. Surprisingly enough, there are quite a few people native to Iraq and they work for us. They actually seem to like us here. Of course, it gets hot here and I don't expect my time here to be harm free, but I am sure that the members of my team will look out for me, as I will look out for them. So for the time being, there are no worries. Another thing that is very surprising is the food here. It is surprisingly good. I think the food here is 100% better than the states. Where else can you get lobster tails once a week for free. -Thomas "Tom" McKenna (SPC)

			We have gotten the orders We have said our prayers We have gotten the gear We have done the training We have said our goodbyes We have crossed the Atlantic Now it is time for the 612 Gun Truck To lock and load, and show them who is the best Do you remember the way you felt Do you remember the shock Do you remember the fears Do you remember the fallen We do Now it is our time to make them remember, Don't mess with America 612 Gun Truck -James Oxendine (PFC)



			1st Platoon has hit the half way mark! We have become very good at successfully completing our missions. Leave has started and everyone is counting the days until they get to see their loved ones again. The tent areas are becoming more homey as the days go by, with pictures of family, technology, and stocks of food collecting. Xbox tournaments have become an important daily event, having hooked up at least half of the tents so they can play against each other. Everybody has found their own way of winding down after missions and yet when the time comes, being mentally ready for the next one, whether its that night or a few nights from then. As the Platoon leader, I send our love and thanks for your support. - Sarah Johnson (2LT)

I know family worries and I know family cares

But we'll be okay because of family prayers

You must understand we're good at what we do

The grace of God always gets us through

Take it from just one of the guys

Love from the families always gets us by.

This place isn't bad as places go

I'll put on my gear and get ready to roll

I do my job with no delay

But thats just the 612th way

We move real fast into the night

Like Gargoyles into flight.
