**** that sucks. My friend went to boot camp right as the war with Iraq began. Luckily he didn't get shipped off though.

dont feel sorry for him!.... this is what he signed up for.... hes still living...theres nothing to be sorry for!



be proud of him, not nervous, think of the best for him, not that hes gonna die or **** like that



be proud your best friend is going to serve the country .... there are lots of attacks, statistically 1 out of every 2 convoys get attacked....











also a quick question.....is that what he went and signed up for... to go to basic and leave right after to go out to war?

Sorry to hear that. My father was there for 3 months. And he is not even military.



Freestylefc3s, I-95 is great to speed down. I just LOVE doing it in a 92 Volvo 940Turbo. It is grand. Just go 140 all the way. Yeah! A volvo.
