But only in passing, I had to escort a few VIP’s once or twice.

Most of my time was spent in and around Bagubah. I slept most nights at FOB Gabe (located on the southeastern side of Baqubah), but routinely worked around FOB Warhorse (northwestern Baqubah. The majority of my battalion was at FOB Normandy (Miqdadiyah).

I was with 2-2 Infantry battalion / 3rd Brigade / 1st Infantry Division

Now, I’m long out of the Army and living in Northwest Ohio.
