I've been training for 3 years to go to Iraq. Finally my time has come.

    I was driven by my wife Sarah to the nearest base to be flown out. Once I arrived my attention went straight to the huge AC-130. Once boarded I was met by two other soldiers Cormick and Shay were there names. After we were settled in I decided to take a nap.

      6 hours later

  I was awoken by a sudden shake it was dark and peaceful. A few minutes latter the cabin flooded with light. Standing there was the commander. "Welcome to Iraq boys."
