Along for the Ride


Truck, originally uploaded by ~*nma*~.

I needed to get to Mosul and another team going to Mosul needed an additional person, so I tagged along. I haven't been in HMMWV in years thanks to working at an Air Force base in my last assignment. It was a relatively short trip - about 2 hours maybe.

We arrived early in the morning and it was like entering a different war. Irbil and Zaytun are so quiet, dark and comparatively safe, but Mosul is a different story. Despite the early morning mortar attacks and constant activity, I was happy to be with Americans and on a larger, more populated camp.
