Well guys, I made it to Iraq but I cant tell you where, and it looks like I will have access to the boards for now. Its cold as hell in the morning and warmer than crap in the afternoon. Its about 7:30am here, were 9 hours ahead of Houston.

Anyways, ill be around.
 
Whats up Scott!!! Glad to see you made it safely. Feel like your in a different world over there? I can't even imagine what it would be like. I know it sure wouldn't be my # 1 choice for a vacation destination. Stay safe buddy! I hope you have a Happy New Year! :)

Its actually not bad. We stay on the miitary bases so we are around americans. The only difference is we live in little 20ft containers or tents. So its like a camping trip!! The food is good, I have my own office with internet and phone, my own truck, etc...

The best things about being here is its an additional $120k ontop of what we make on the business, and I have easy access to some of the best vacation spots in the world.

Hey nick, I missed this for some reason. It used to be completely tax free up to $82k. Now they take out SS and medicare, but I still net around $10k.
