Shr00mies123: Hello everybody. Once again I'm free to have a quick update as me and my co-pilot/gunner have returned from a mission. The whole night, and day we have been conducting CAS( Close air Support). I can't even tell you how many times I had to return to base to refuel and rearm in 48 hours. Today, was the first time I shaked a man's hand that wasn't attached to him. He was from a company that we have been covering from air. It hit me really hard, when I learned that this man lost his hand because of friendly fire..... from us. The reason I'm telling you this guys, is that ..... it was us that did it to him, and I can't seem to forgive myself even though the man has thanked us for saving his life.... Moving on the brighter side of this update, each person from our squadron has received Distinguished Flying Cross and the victim of our friendly fire a Purple Heart. Besides this we all are doing great, my family is awaiting my return impatiently and usual stuff. Anyway, I will be finishing off now I have rest. See ya guys and have fun!. ~Rafal P.S. I am not revealing any names. Can't explain..... Did the skins got finally uploaded? By the way I love the new look to Goozex. !!! As I said before G-Team is The best ! Also everybody else that's not noobish in this forum is awesome...

Wow! That is an intense story and thank you for sharing a personal account of what the situation can be like. You have even more of my respect now.

Thank you... in some ways, you are paying a price as heavy as the man who lost his arm.
Come home safely. Thank you for risking your life for our freedom and security.
That was one serious thought provoking update.
Though when I first read it, I thought it was more gruesome (like you were shaking someone's hand then all of a sudden they blew up and only their hand was left [I think I've been playing too much RE5 and L4D]).
take care and be safe, god bless you
Thank you guys but the truth is that infantry is the heart and the real heros. We are just their guardians :)(Ribs) lol. I overexagerated about the man not having his hand attached. I was just in shock. Anyway, what I have learned today from doctors( I went to visit the guy) that his hand wasn't completly disattached and since he got back in time to base He will be alright.( Apparently a ricochet from our 30mm gun that we were firing VERY close range to our troops). pierced through where his wrist is. So practically that made my day. And now I'm just chilling here drinking......water... yeah.
Anyway, I got a pm from Zanna, ( I sent him one out yesterday...) You guys should get the new skins uploaded soon. Kameleon you made me laugh dude Keep it up! Once gain guys thanks for all the support.
Thanks for updating us shroomies. Stay safe!
Hey no problem. Alright, I've uploaded some pictures.. I took. Not Much I know... But anyway here it is.
This is my baby that was just unloaded and put together after we arrived to Iraq.

PICTURE 4
Me again in the cockpit. and Capt. Richard Ryley.
He is a one SOB... He is a crazy dude...
PICTURE 5
This is when we had to ream and refuel. Oh Boy the last Apache you see was ours... where are we? We had to pee really bad... so we went to take care of our needs while they rearmed us... I got to snap this pic while we were coming back.
And here We put hellfire into a test :P
Anyway this concludes my awesome slide show. I have to go to sleep now, because It's already 11:05 pm.. I don't know when I will be able to write again. Take care guys.
Awesome pictures! Are you terrified at all being in the war?
I can't imagine being there. I'll stick to my Call of Duty 4.
Those were some pretty cool pictures. I wonder what would happen if you grabbed the thing that said "Do Not Grab".
I'm thinking it would unleash Ninjas.
Thanks for the pictures.
Love the hellfire test
