Enjoying life everyday to the fullist, for life is to short not too. Found my third childhood in the form of a Honda VTX1300T motorcycle. Enjoy riding all through New England. My wife has started riding with me here in 2009. She loves riding and I love having her on it with me. After 2 tours in Iraq, it really helps make up for the time we were apart. We go every place on it.
Retired working full time for the MA National Guard. 40 yrs plus. 23 drills, 30 annual training days, and maybe one more deployment till they tell me to get out. 23 months to go and will be 60 yrs old. Been a great career. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Description
Camp Adder and Camp Mittica are located on Tallil Air Base. In late March 2003 Camp Adder was the southernmost Army resupply point in Iraq. Camp Adder in south-central Iraq is a dusty, middle-of-nowhere place. It assumed great importance in the Iraq war, with a motley collection of just about every kind of truck imaginable, from fuel tankers and water carriers to five-ton haulers. Taking a cue from private logistics masters like FedEx and Wal-Mart, the Army went high-tech in this war, equipping each supply truck with radio sensors that signal exactly where it is at all times. At Camp Adder, soldiers are housed in trailers, and they get to sleep on real beds with relatively new mattresses.
Operating out of Camp Adder in February 2006, the 48th Brigade Combat Team's Iraq- Medical Community Assessment Program founded a temporary clinic in a nearby school, bringing basic medical services to the Iraqi people where none existed before.
