Tafteesh!

We had a big day yesterday. I discovered a cell phone was on a Local National driver, one of the Iraqi MP's had caught it. He's not supposed to have one on Taji Base. The company he was rented out too found out their was a cell phone on another driver. So, the Iraqi Gaurds and myself started digging into the trucks for the cell phone. We caught three drivers trying to steal cargo and netted two more cell phones, wich were cleverly hidden. The sharp Air Force Master Seargent I was telling about the cell phone noticed one stickiing something in an over head compartment as we were speaking. That was it, it took several try's to reach it, heck we even had an Interprator digging that phone out. As I searched another truck I heard my name called and one of the best Iraqi MP's we have was throwing stuff out of a cab left and right. That pitucular truck had Body Armor in the cab that he was trying to still. They had stolen the stuff off of their own trucks, thinking they could get away with it. We would have caught them anyway, but we were putting emphasis on cell phones. As thing after thing was being thrown out of the three trucks I looked down the convoy and Iraqi Soldiers not part of the Security Force had joined in the search. There must have been close to twenty of them. Afterwords we all laughed and joked about Ali Babba. The Civillian contractor thanked us as well. The last we saw of those four they were cuffed and riding in the back of an Iraqi MP's truck.

I'm supposed to get Internet in my room...well, I was supposed to a week ago. All we are waiting on is a simple cable to come from Baghdad. In the meantime I put $100 down on it. "Patience is a virtue but she won't alway's wait." Now, the first person* to tell me what that is qouted from get's to read Appalachian Patria free!

Oh! I saw clouds, yes, CLOUDS the other evenen. They were'nt much, but the first I've seen since May back at Ft. McCoy.

Correction: I originally said forty of them. This was an exageration in my own mind. After watching the video of it and thinking it through in my head I realized it was a silly exageration. There were forty or so people, US and Iraqi that came out to see it altogether. I broke a Milblogging rule and made an exageration, and Rangers don't lie about what they see. My aplogies.

Ready to get out of here..
