The King of Saudi Arabia Was the First person i met at the Airport
When we arived
Also met President Busch On thanksgiving Day
It got interesting when i got caught with bullets when they hadnt passed out ammo yet
When they went to give me article 15 they found out I had a high security clearance. And couldnt bust
Me cause of it
It simply came from caring the cingaurds radio on dmz korea live patrols we had to get classes&a clearance to handle the radois
As they just came out I grew a fumanju and i actually was punish by having to gaurd nitly meetings til the am and was told to ride with Co.on all his hummvee recons&the Bc humvee recons. Both the drivers were my friends one from back home okc
The other work out buddy from the gym on one paticular patrol
The Co got us lost by my estimation 30to forty miles in iraq way before. The ground war started my Co & my buddy argued alot & had a little bit to do with. Y so lost i was ignoreing them and keeping track of how far lost we were they finally stopped after 10hours of driving. Stopped by some ruins i got out to stretch ny legs i walked about a hundred feet i saw arabuan civillian. Smoking a hooka. A few more steps a iraqi army in all black no weapon also smoking the hooka he rolled out a door outa site the saudi apriach iput that mag i wasn't. Supposed to have in locked and cocked saudi was abot 15'from me and iraq was back in door way with one hand outa site his comrades were asleep

Then i said
Im Mf n Clint Eastwood. We can start the war some other day and walked away but muzzle stayed pointed at them iraqi stayed back i got in the hummer and they were still argue i had to threaten the two mfers Co to with death&drive now&fast
