I've been deployed with the Army to Iraq since November 07 and it's just starting to slow down enough to check out my old forums. Nice to see some of the same people are still here. Back in January, based on my nagging, my wife finally got her CCW. It makes me feel a lot better knowing she has a little more protection while I am oceans away. She is very comfortable carrying now and has established a routine of bringing her little .38 with her.

When I redeploy to the States in November, I've decided to get my own CCW. I can't wait. Iraq is a lousy place to visit AND you don't want to live here.

It is good to know that your loved ones at home can protect themselves.

Thank you for your service, we appreciate it. Stay safe and come home well.

Glad you finally talked her into it. Thank you for protecting our country, and stay safe.

Yes, thank your service, it is much apreciated. Be safe.

Thank you for protecting our freedoms in a far-away-land.

Stay safe.

Godspeed.

Twenty plus years after getting married, Mrs. purple95 finally decided to get her carry permit. Her gun of choice is a Ruger SP-101 which she carries most of the time now.

I'm proud of her.

Thank you for your service to our country.

I'm proud of you.

Cheers,

From one Michigan soldier to another (125th and 126th inf. alumni), God bless you and stay safe. Thank you for going into harms way on our behalf. If your wife has any CCW questions invite her to join us here. Who are you serving with and what's your MOS (provided you're not violating OPSEC by answering such things)?

Thank you for being in the service of OUR country.

I guess you are looking for your first snowball fight when you get back in November ...... among other things!

My branch is 38A (Civil Affairs). I'm currently serving with 1st Armored Division just North of Baghdad.

Sir,thank you for your service. I noticed on another post that you carry a m9/m4 do you need any cleaning supplies or other stuff?

Thanks for the offer, but I've got plenty of cleaning supplies. I have been here long enough to customize or order anything I needed. For example, my brother sent me an M9 holster for my armor vest and I discarded my issued M4 sling for (believe it or not) an old shoulder strap from a computer bag. Once again, thanks for your kind words.

Congrats to your wife. Thanks for your service and stay safe! My son just came home from his second tour in late July.

Of course you know, you can never come home and surprise her ever again!

Congrats to you wife...sleep a little sounder.

Be safe sir. Thank you for your service to our great country~!

Need anything over there within reason?

Remember, "Honey, I'm home!!!" before you walk in door.

That is great!! And I also want to thank you for your service!!
