My name is Specialist Arcangel. I'm a soldier in the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division and this is my weblog. I created this blog to keep friends and family updated on things I'm doing in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom Part 3 told by me. NOTE: Because of Operational Security(OPSEC), I will not post images of my communications equipment, give details about my job, show images of security check points, or give in depth descriptions of certain incidents or events.

Born in a fuckin barn


My team shares an office with the commo shop and one other person that just moved in. Everyone that is not on my team has a problem with shutting the door. After countless times reminding them to shut it, they can't learn a simple task like shutting the door. Really pisses me off.

Parents, please teach your children how to shut the door behind them. It's very rude and rather annoying.

I was featured in a German news article last week. The article spoke about American soldiers' weblogs and photos on flickr. They displayed a photo of me with my machine gun referring to me as a child with a cannon. Also mentioned how my photos aren't too pleasant. Apparently the German media, as many other people aren't too fond of the Coalition presence in Iraq. Oh well, they'll get over it. But to say that my photos aren't pleasant, I'll let you be the judge of that. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ob1

My hits on my photostream skyrocketed since the article. Your photostream has been viewed 13401 times.
