Cheshire Regiment Iraq 2004 (Op Telic 4)

OK, I've decided to write this 'Tale' due to the fact that it appears alot of people seem to be bitching about Iraq, and the situation that they find them selves in, before i start i just like to say that this is a personal opinion - but due to the fact that i also served in Iraq with the UK forces i feel i have the right to say what i have to say without people trying to jump all for HP with negative comments...

As a soldier there will come a time where your country is going to send you to a country that doesnt have a starbucks on every corner, and McDonalds and Burger Kings are a distant memory of home - like the girlfriend or the wife waiting for you.
Ladies & Gentlemen it's your job, but with is job comes great responsiblity because your the face of your country, your like ambassador's, representatives.

I was based in basra, where the temp was 98 degrees F @ 8:00 in the morning, British troups were putting excess of 20 hours a day, only to return to sleep x4 to a room if lucky - in some cases you slept in smashed corridors with rubble without AC, food if there was any left was terrible. I personally lost 24 pounds 4 months, due to the heat and the fact you slept in your combats - needing to be ready all the time

Internet access: probably got 1hour (weekly) - this was subject to booking the time - e.g Admin tended to get all the time, infantry would be out all day - when they came back all they wanted was sleep (20+ hrs you can imagine why)

Phone Calls: 20 minute phone card (weekly)

So you can imagine how pissed i get when i here people saying that Iraq is horrible. Lets think about this for a second you have air conditioning and internet access, your fed daily, theres people in the in our own countries that don't even have that luxury

We all know the war in Iraq is wrong and that we shouldnt be there, but intil the powers that be decide to pull out - get on with it, stop the bitching and come home safe...

Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose in '08, Lets spread the word!!!

1. If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep.
2. Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important.
3. The best vitamin for making friends.... B1. :D
4. The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts
5. The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
6. One thing I can give and still keep...is my word.
7. I lie the loudest when I lie to myself.
8. If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished. One thing I can't recycle is wasted time.
9. Ideas won't work unless ' I ' do.
10. My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
11. The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
12. The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send this to all your friends including me and see how many you get back. Even send it to your balloons that you think have flown away forever. You may be surprised to see it return. Send this heart to everybody you like..
