Stonecutter and bwilly...keep representing. I carried an old "Black Magic" flag with me that I've had since the mid-80's all over Iraq, even went by the callsign "Gamecock" until I was made to change it.

Y'all be safe.

Hey stone. I worked with the "Gary Owen" unit while in Iraq my first time. Hows it holdin up.

Wow! May God continue to bless you all who have served, is serving and will serve in the future.

I think it would be a great idea to start a thread for those of you who have been there to display pictures and share your stories. That would take this Web site to another level. Heck, I'd love for us to adopt a unit or two and communicate with them on a daily basis.

Here's my 2 cents worth.Here's a video I found on YouTube that I thought was AWESOME!

Post it here until we get a separate thread started. Where exactly would we put the thread when we get it started? The Cockpit is the most visited section of the website, but this topic will not have much to do about football. Maybe we could be clever and call it something like "Gamecock Offensive in Iraq" or something.
