Had a bit of a trip out in the red - that was supposed to be a pretty fluff mission - that turned into a dismounted patrol out in the streets of Baghdad - I really can't go into any detail -  but suffice it to say that there were some pretty high speed Iraqi Airborne MPs out there that backed us up - it was good to be back in the red - it felt REALLY good - that may sound nutz to some of you - but there is, ironically, just a bit of peace that comes with being totally in the zone - - hot as hell - - scaning rooftops - - watching hundreds of people - - feeling the reassuring familiarity of the grips of my M4 - - checking on the principal - - the weight of your vest, plates and combat load -- not thinking about the mechanics of your movements - - they just happen - - you find yourself moving in autopilot as your sensors are tuned in like the bionic man - - ready for everything - - placid like the surface of a lake - - staying frosty as hell - - mmmm....good stuff....
