Hello All,
I suppose that you're wondering how things are going, and whether I'm still on the Iceberg. Well, things are the same here with the small exception of packing.
We began our packing yesterday, and then more equipment was issued (see Body Armor) and then we repacked, adjusted and shifted loads. Then more gear (see New Chemical Protective Suits) came in and we repacked, adjusted and shifted loads. Then EVEN more gear (see Bottled water, MRE's and toilet
paper) came in and we repacked (again), adjusted (again) and shifted loads (again). Are you beginning to see a pattern here? Me too.
As I was packing up my gear (one of the many times) a morose feeling of reality set in. It was a bit like a going to meet your girlfriends parents for the first time, and you know that you're making a transition in your life and have no clue how it's going to turn out. Except this trip involves live ammo, body armor and chemical protective suits (Ok, so it's nothing like going to meet the parents, but work with me here). I thought about what I was feeling for a couple minutes and then walked into the platoon bay (see a large open room with beds where soldiers sleep) and made a count of my squad. They were all quietly packing, there was no radio playing, no small talk, each soldier inventorying and folding and loading their gear. This was a bit odd, and comforting at the same time. Usually the soldiers are listening to the radio and giving each other a hard time, but it seems that reality had set in with them as well. The war has begun, and we are going. Hopefully soon.
I say hopefully soon because our initial departure date has come and gone, and we're still waiting on a plane. We know that the war has begun and do NOT want to miss it. We have all worked too hard, for too long, to miss this fight. Don't get me wrong, there aren't any war lovers here, we (at least I) want the opportunity to serve our country and prove that we can do our jobs. What would it be like to practice for a football game, for years, and never get into the stadium? Standing fast is an Army term for holding in place, and that's exactly what we're doing. Like soldiers. We obey our orders and stand ready to go (it's a bit more like chomping at the bit).
This rant isn't too funny, sorry about that, but last night I hosted my promotion party (I'll be commissioned after I'm de-mobilized) and I bought a lot of beer for the company. I also drank a lot of beer with my friends and fellow soldiers, who are enjoying this opportunity to give ME a hard time. You see, I'll be commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, and the rank will be a gold bar on my collar (opposed to the stripes I'm currently wearing). It's also known as a "butter bar." My friends (my only friends here) decided that they shouldn't have to wait for the ceremony and decided to pin on my new rank right away. Nice right, soldiers that want to help a brother out and promote him on the spot. Yeah, but they decided to use a small, single serving butter container instead of the actual gold bar, and then named me (affectionately) "butters." I'm a good sport, so I played along. If the picture turns out, maybe I'll post it. Then again, maybe not.
Oh, and I had a question on the website from a former 11 Bravo (that's an Infantryman, to you lucky civilians) about the quality of our protective suits. Back in his day, they were so hot that all they really could do was hold their perimeter and try not to work too much (you see, all that gear increases your core body temperature, somewhere around 10 degrees and that makes even the littlest things difficult over time). Well, when I first joined the Army, I worked with the same gear and it was hot, bulky and messy (you see, there is activated charcoal in the suit to neutralize any chemical agents that we might encounter, and in the old suits it fell out of the suit and turned EVERYTHING black). We now have new suits that have the charcoal sealed inside, are lighter and have several other improvements that a soldier can use (see big pockets with Velcro NOT snaps). We are also using a better mask than before (bigger eye lenses, better filter and MUCH more comfortable rubber seals). Also, the new masks are easier to breathe with, considering that breathing in the old masks was like breathing through 2 straws, it couldn't get too much worse (the new masks are like breathing through 4 straws, HOOAH!).
To answer the question, the gear is still very difficult to work with, but it's getting better. Hopefully soon (by the time I retire) they'll come out with something even better, like no more chemical weapons.
Better get going here, I think they're going to issue us more stuff too pack. I wonder what war was like before they had all this crap.
Love,
Will
Will, I stumbled across this web site on MSNBC.com the other day while I was bored at work. I read all of your March letters and you are hilarious.

Posted by: Charlene on March 22, 2003 10:34 AMHi Will, I just ran across your website and am not done reading all your letters yet but wanted to drop a line to let you know that I am praying for your safe return home and all the other brave soldiers out there. I grew up in the military and married one too so I sort of understand the military but I will never understand what you all go through in war. Keep your spirits up and keep the letters coming!
Posted by: Sandy on March 24, 2003 10:57 AMHey Will,

Will-each time I read one of your postings I feel compelled to write you and tell you how much we love hearing from you. It helps us lucky civilians deal with our emotions, just knowing that you are experiencing INTENSE emotions, that we may never really ever experience in our lifetime. You are BRAVE..
I cannot express the gratitiude I feel for you and your fellow soldiers, that I am sure each civilian will eventually feel, to have people like you defending our whole being. I've got major love for you.
Hi Will:
Everybody is with you! Stay tough for us all. May God be with each and everyone of you!!

Posted by: Milton on March 28, 2003 07:57 PMThis is a scary world, and war is a scary thing. I am a 19 year old mother of a 2 year old daughter and wife of a Navy sailor. He is not attached to any ship, and has not been sent anywhere, and I am fortunate. I say fortunate because I am scared. Anyday, they can take him away from me and I won't know if he will ever return. However, you, too, are fortunate. Your husband is fighting a JUSTIFIED battle to make the world much safer, not just safer for the United States, but other countries, Iraq included...and your family very importantly. I hope and pray everynight that our troops will come home, and, being glued to the tv everynight, am even brought to tears thinking about the devastating effects war brings. People go into the military to support their families, to create a career for themselves, and I guess some even take for granted that war can happen, and their main goal is to carry out any mission to protect our home that the commander assigns. I am *disgusted* and *embarrassed* at the selfishnes, arrogance, and hypocricy of these self-proclaimed "protestors." They insult me and every other military spouse that has a spouse being sent to protect us, yet taken from families, and frightened their loved ones whether they'd return or not. They occupy valuable and expensive time from our police who have better things to do than babysit these people, which takes money from other things such as schools, etc... They are against the man who was put in his position to make the best decisions for our country. Yet they will never go and live in Iraq under the circumstances those people are living in. They can protest there and suffer consequences! I not only salute your husband for the role he has taken, but I do the same for you because when our husbands are either working long hours on base or fighting for months overseas in battle, you take care of the home and keep your family strong. Good luck, hope for his safe return and thank you.
Posted by: kristy nelson on March 28, 2003 08:05 PMthat was a note to your wife, and will, thank you and come home safe and promise to make a good ole fashioned meatloaf with saddam's shriveled up dick-tator parts ... we can alll feed it to osama. on a serious note, you and everyone else's work over there is much appreciated and i do pray everyone can come home safe.

I just want to say that I follow the things via CNN and BBC-World.Keep going boys !
The US has the strongest army in the world !!
Iraq will be defeated .My mind goes to all those guys who are now in the frontline .
May God bless them.
Hi will,
I was cruising the internet when I found your site after looking through some blogs.
I was at work, and all my machines were up. So I had a little time to write you. For one, I am very proud of all the service men performing their duties.
I had a few friends that has served in the Persian gulf. One trick they told me about, that is sure to helpful to you. If you wrap your water bottle in a cloth and soak the cloth with water. The evaporation from the damp cloth will cool you water. The same as putting a damp cloth around your neck. Another point was not to kill or injure any Camels. Hanging offense or something real bad I guess. The other real helpful hint was don't get shot. They said it will make you have a real bad day. I tend to agree with the last point. My last pointer is a line from The Patriot with Mel Gibson. Aim Small, Miss Small.
Tell everyone we are praying for their safe and speedy return.
PS. Now im gonna feel guilty if you really get one of the million dollar Forest Gump wounds, after making that one comment. But, I thought a little humor was needed in such a serious situation. And also Congrats on your promtion to butter bars.

i am wouter and I kom frome belgium . I speak not good english. I hope that the war verry quik finisht. and that the soldiers verry well arrive in the v.s . my god bless them.
Posted by: wouter on March 29, 2003 02:34 PMWILL!!! THANK YOU!! I thank God for you and our military! Thank you for the first hand views, much more informative then the news! I truly believe that you along with the coalition are vessels of God-you are freeing long oppressed, long tortured people from a very evil wicked force. "I will honor the righteous" - God promises us that He will honor us, I know He is! I believe that there are many Iraqi's that have been praying to a merciful God for a very very long time for a miracle, for FREEDOM and Will, you are a vessel for this very miracle! And their miracle is manifesting right NOW!
I pray right now in the name of Jesus that you will continually be protected and guided by HIS light, that your every aim and every target be accurate, I pray that He will sustain you, fill you with HIS peace and HIS comfort. I pray that He will speak directly into your heart. I pray a hedge of protection around you, your troops and the entire coalition! I plead the blood of the lamb, Christ Jesus over you and our military, from head to toe. I pray that your pathway be made easy and safe. In the name of Jesus, Amen
keep us updated hero :) and thank you, again, for your sacrifices! Sincerely, Allyson and family!
Posted by: Allyson on March 29, 2003 04:47 PMYour and all the soldiers are in my prayers. Take care of yourself and come home safe. Do NOT pay any attention to the demonstrations here they are NOT about you guys because we love you all!

Posted by: yoko on March 30, 2003 06:30 AMHi Will,
First off I want you to know you are a wonderful person, and I would feel safe to be at your side in this war time.
I want this to be short and to the point. I believe that God is with each everyone of you there. Be safe and return home to your love ones, they are very lucky people to have you in there lives.
I will continue to keep up with your writings and as I watch the TV I will think of each and every solider as if it were you. You have deeply touched my life.
Thank you for serving our Country!
Love and prayers from Illinois,
Terri
Posted by: Terri on March 30, 2003 06:39 AMNever mind the jacks that think this war isn't just. This is for their safety as much as ours. They must not remember 9/11 and all the deaths that were caused. You are only doing your duty to us and trying to free another country from a sob. Hope you get the chance to off him yourself. Good luck my prayers are with you and everyone over there. BE SAFE

Hi will
Please please be safe!!
I always pray from Japan.
I loved reading your entries and I laughed! So good to hear you in good spirits and motivated to do what you and your "team" need to do! The following are some thoughts I have about the war and war reactions:
I am a 26 year old American woman. I am saddened by the ignorance that I have just read online. First of all, this war is happening because we tried peaceful resolutions for 12 years and we are all increasingly threatened by a group of people who think their religion and way of life is best. There is no doubt in my mind that they would get more and more power in their own hands to come after us and make our country just as they want it to be. The war IS and ISN'T about oil. In one respect, we are not trying to control their nation for control of oil. On the other hand, they may use the riches that the sale of oil brings them to buy weapons and conquer whoever they want. The ignorance of anti-war americans scares me because if we chose not to go to war and stop the growth of terrorist groups, we might as well all go ahead and learn the arabic language! At last, I want to ask all americans a question: If we, as americans cannot get along peacfully with our own families, our own cities, our own country, how do you suppose that total peace is possible between countries?
Hi Will,
Thinking and praying a lot for all u guys over in Iraq. Please take care!!!!!
Good Luck

Posted by: Shalonda on March 30, 2003 11:31 PMHey there brave soldier,
I feel deep ashamed by the attitude of my country, and the other european countries as well. I doe not like war, I love life and love nature. But if a have to choose between Bush and Sadam I take the first. In 1945 your people came to rescue Europe, and now we let you down.
I just don't understand why our boys have to die there, and have to figth for those ****** arabs. I myself would leave them to themselves. Let them solve their problems themselves !
In the evening when I am in my comfortable bed, a warm body lying close to me and my little doggy in his nest near me, I think about all those soldiers far away and in miserable conditions.
You are figthing for freedom, and perhaps for oil (as they say here) , but I do hope that those cruel Irakis (madmen) won't harm you. I know this is not real, and that there will be more and more wounded and dead soldiers, I hurt ...but what can I do ?
Dear Will, life is not so easy, and now that I know of your existence, I hope for your life.
O yes, my name is Anny , I am Belgian, a lucky married woman, have a lovely cat and little dog, and I send you all the best . Tell your friends that there still are a lot of europeans who support the US and English troops.
Keep the spirit man.

Posted by: anny on March 31, 2003 06:47 AMWill,
I'm praying that God will bless you and keep you, and that this war will be a short one! Thank you so much for what you are doing! You are a great American Hero!
As for the nitwits and their stupid parades aginst the war here at home, remember, they are a VERY small, ragtag group of useful idiots (for whoever organized them). Anyone with any sense believes in what you are doing. Our universities spawn the non-thinkers who are demonstrating - while the rest of us are thinking AND LIVING - thanks to people like you and your comrades in arms! Thanks again! Mary

You are not ashamed of posting "idiots remarks" I am proud of you for that and showing them that this is a just and fair USA.
My grandson is leaving for their in the next 3 days. He is in the Army.
My prayers are with you and all the great men that are over their.
Sadam is the evil one, not our forces that are over their to liberate the Iraqi people. Keep up the good work & take care.
All my love & prayers go with you. God Speed
Hola Will!I`m a girl, 35 years old, and live alone with my daughter in a calm city of Switzerland. If you have any companion that since i am handsome(pretty) ;-), and this single, give him my address, so when the war ends i will to know him. My Englisch is very bad, and i have translated in the WWW.
Im from Spain, and speak German, Italian and Spanish.
Be strong! I admire you!
Dear Will!
Unas pocas palabras en español, tal vez alguien te las pueda traducir, te doy las gracias por tus mensajes. Siento pena cuando en television veo todas esas desgracias de la guerra, esa gente inocente que muere o sufre, y tambien cuando veo lo que vosotros sufris. Siento pena cuando os veo andar por el desierto con todas esas mochilas a la espalda, ojala acabe pronto la guerra, para que acabe el sufrimiento de todos. Muchos abrazos, que Dios os bendiga, que Dios bendiga a America, Irak y al Mundo entero.
Posted by: Agua on March 31, 2003 05:26 PMJust wanted to tell you and your guys how proud we are of you. Keep your wits about you and kick some ass!!!
Posted by: Mike on March 31, 2003 06:14 PMHi will.
I just wanted to tell you, that even though some people are against the war, I can’t say that I am against, or for it, but there is something I know, that in the last book of the Bible it mentions of wars and rumors of wars, all this has to happen nothing could be change because is already writing. “ Luke 21:31 when you see this things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near”.
And all I could say to you, is that you sound like a great guy, and I am sure all you guys are, but you need to be prepare, not only for the war, but also spiritually prepare, and with that I mean that you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior because with Him we win every thing, Heaven and earth, I personally have no family members there, but I have close friends that do, I feel for the family’s that have already lost some one.
I wish you guys the very best. Praying for all of you, knowing that God will watch over every one of you, give you strength, and peace in your soul.
2 Thessalonians 2:13 but we ought to thank God always concerning you, brother’s beloved of the Lord, because God choose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and believed of the truth.
If there is anything that I could send to you guys, please email me and I will do everything possible to send it to you and those with you over there.
May God Bless YOU and All the Soldiers that are fighting this battle,
Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses every man’s understanding, will guide your hearts and your thought in Christ Jesus. Amen
i dont know who you are but, i am very proud of what you are doing. i hope you stay safe and get to come soon.

Just wanted everyone to know we are with you, and I say prayers every night for the troops, even though I am not a real religious person, God does exist and watches over all of us. Just wanted to thank you for your service to our country and keeping us safe. We take so much for granted back here, but without your sacrifice, we would have nothing. God bless you all, stay safe

Take care Will
