"Scott" you've caused quite a stir of late.  I really don't care who you are but I spent a little time around Falcon and think I know how to find you. 

I'm guessing you are a member of 1-18 Infantry.  They are the primary unit out of Falcon with Brads.

As for the archeological dig.  My guess is that was at COP Ellis.  Most of the other outposts are so urban, there is nothing much to dig. 

With the Brads and Archeology, that may put you as Alpha 1/18 attached to Combat 1-28 Infanty. 

If my guess is correct, that narrows it down to about 100 guys and your organic C.O. is Captain Robby Johnson. 

I ran through Mahala 885 with CPT Johnson and a great group of guys last May and hammered out a little story about it.

I prefer the adventure stories, you prefer tales of another variety.  Maybe you don't have any cool adventure stories or maybe New Republic wasn't interested in them. 

I'll be back at Falcon in a few weeks. 

Send me an email if you want.


Help JD get back to Iraq!  Buy a DVD or Contribute below.

JD is currently editing the follow-up to his 2005-2006 documentary Outside The Wire.  He will return to Iraq to shoot another documentary as soon as it is released.

We all know that freedom is not free--and neither is reporting from Iraq.

Each digital tape capturing the heroic efforts of Soldiers and Marines costs $7.  JD uses almost 100 tapes on each trip.  One DVD buys one tape that will permanently capture what the media refuses to cover.

As you know JD spends his time in Iraq with the Soldiers and Marines doing the work Outside The Wire. That means hundred and thousands of dollars of equipment and gear gets damaged.  Three dollars buys a new protective lens cover.  Fifty dollars buys a pair of ballistic glasses.  Just to get there, the airfare costs $1,500.

It all helps and it is all needed to tell the story that is not being told.

If you have the desire and means to contribute more and be a co-producer please contact JD via email.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and any support you can give.
