Hello,I've been waiting on some questions. I don't know how much longer I will have access to e-mail. We finally got our official out processing date to leave here, looks like we will be leaving within 13 days, then heading to another secure location in Iraq before heading back to the states. Nothing is concrete but I'm certainly happy they have a plan. I will do my best to at least inform you before they cut my e-mail unless they just cut us out of the system to register the new people coming in. Nothing new is happening, we still have not gotten any details on what exactly happened to our pilot. The Marine side of the house is dealing with outrageous numbers of deaths daily. I always say a prayer for them and wish them well before they head out on any kind of mission or convey. I had an opportunity to drive a heavy armed HUM-V, it was so incredible! I will keep looking for any e-mails and I will keep you informed of any action. I will give you my other e-mail, it will be easier to remember: AngeliaHec@aol.com. Also I could probably tell you more on that account regarding any questions you may have because its untraceable. Until next time, take care!

Always,Angie

Craziness

Hello,

It's been a little crazy over here. I'm sure by now you all heard about our F-16 Pilot who was killed. I knew about it 10 minutes after it happened because they requested our A-10 planes out there for crash and recovery. We never ran so fast in our lives to get these planes off the ground and in the air for support. We had luck of recovering the plane. The Iraqis got to it before us, this is when you are grateful that your dead! No one would ever want to be a POW with these crazy people. They love to torture with drills, could you imagine? I'm very grateful I am not a ground troop. Last night we had 5 people come into the hospital, one died. No details on what happened to them, still waiting on details. Other than that we have nothing else going on. I will e-mail you soon or when something happens.
Until then, Take care...

We ain't goin' nowhere!

Hello Everyone,

It been interesting over here, as usual. It turns out we bombed a few Iraqians once again and they never saw it coming, that was the best part. Before long the way things are going, they will just give up! That would make us all happy. We fly alot of missions so we can get the bad guys. I have to tell you, those Marines and Army are incredible. They are so brave and really just have their hearts in getting out there and getting the job done. Our pilots come back after a four hour flight and are mad because they didn't get a chance to drop any bombs. Our planes really take a beating with always flying. Nothing to extreme has happened since the last time I wrote. Things are kinda quiet, maybe they are finally realizing we're not leaving! Rumor has it we are rotating out people as planned, no one in my unit has been extended as of now. I'm hoping to be back before your class is over so I can meet you all, that way you can ask me questions to. Sorry I don't have more to tell you.

Until next time,
Angie

Tuskegee Airmen,
It is with great sadness that I inform you of the loss of two valued
Tuskegee Airmen. Earlier yesterday, an OSI Det 2410 convoy was
conducting a mission near Kirkuk AB in support of the 506 Air
Expeditionary Group when the convoy was struck by a roadside IED. OSI
Special Agents Ryan Balmer and Matthew Kuglics were both killed as a
result of injuries sustained during the attack. Mr. Kava Ari, an OSI
linguist, was injured but is in stable condition. SA Balmer and SA
Kuglics were exceptional warriors and Airmen who died while protecting
over 5,000 Airmen and Soldiers assigned to the 506 AEG and Kirkuk AB.
They are both heroes. Ryan is survived by his wife and three children.
Matt is survived by his mother and father. The 332 AEW will conduct
Memorial services at Balad and Kirkuk in honor of these two fallen
heroes later this week. The date, time and exact loaction will be
announced as soon as possible. The Balmer and Kuglics families, the
entire OSI community in Iraq and across the USAF, and all of us in the
332 AEW will mourn the deaths of SA Balmer and SA Kuglics. Please
remember all of them in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks
ahead.

Robin Rand, Brig Gen, USAF
