>A friend of mine just left for a year's tour of duty in Iraq this morning. He will be with a unit that will be handling all convoys between Falluja and Bagdad. When he gets settled he will be posting on a blog whenever he can. When its ready I'll post the url for anyone interested.

I'd be interested. My son-in-law is undergoing training at Ft Lewis, WA right now and I fear he may be heading that way next year.
