Not really new to the forum
« on: December 27, 2014, 05:21:23 PM »
I'm not "new" to the forum. Just been gone for a while. I was on here back in 2009 before I went to Iraq. When I got back things were just too hectic to get back on. I'm back and still Sly. Hope everyone has had a great Christmas!

Welcome (back)! Glad to see you return, and thanks for your service

P.S. I spent all but a few days of 2010 in Iraq myself.

Welcome home Cueball and thanks for your service.  I am thankful also that you came home.

I spent a lot of 2009 in Iraq as well.

Thank you for all the well wishes. But I have to clarify, I was a contractor. I was not active duty. I was one of the country leads for Biometric Identification System for Access (BISA) and Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT).

Sir Harry, I was in Iraq from October 2010 to October 2011.

We left Iraq in mid-December 2010...made it home less than a week before Christmas. The contractor jobs to me were just as important because you guys kept the "little things" going for us.

If you arrived in October 2010, I was at FOB Prosperity (where Saddam's former palace is/was). I spent the first six months at Tallil before our unit was reassigned. I did convoy security missions for the contractor trucks and in the later part of the deployment I did base security.

Welcome Back Cueball.  Thanks for your service to our nation.

I trained a lot of the POE personnel on BAT and BISA.
