A collection of rocket launchers. Hajji will often set these up, put a rocket in it, set up some sort of timer device, and then leave the area for the rocket to fire at a later time.
This gentleman was herding sheep around our FOB. The area we were in was predominantly farm and sheep-herding country.
This ammo can was on the top of one of our HMMWVS and took the force of a IED attack. It probably saved the life of the gunner.
The FOB I was on was a former Iraqi Air Force base. As a result, we had a couple of these old Mig-21s laying around. The former commander of the base told me the more modern planes were buried - and then dug up for scrap by the locals.

The area is being cleared of threats so the TACPs (Tactical Air Control Party) can call in an air-strike. (cleared for public release) Photo by Staff Sgt Aaron Allmon II
Here I am at the infamous Abu Ghraib. While in Baghdad, I ran into a friend of mine and was able to join one of his unit's convoys to this prison. This is, of course, prior to this facility being turned over to the Iraqis.
Believe it or not, this is what they served for dinner one night. I think it was a case of a Turk not translating to English correctly.
Here's what it looked like as we boarded the plane to fly to Iraq. I remember being both excited and nervous at the same time.
This photo was making the email rounds while I was in Iraq. Reportedly, it was a wolf captured in or around Baghdad. I don't know that wolves are indigenous to Iraq, so it could have come from the zoo.
This is a UH60 refueling. I don't recall what base this is on. They kick the passengers off while they're doing this, which is when I got this picture.
Iraqi Police having their vehicles checked prior to entry to the base. We trusted the Iraqi Army in our area better than the police.
This is the Al Faw palace at Camp Victory in Baghdad. Saddam used to occupy it, but it's now home to MNC-I.
Everyone going overseas, no matter your job, has to learn how to do room clearing. Here we are training a "four-man stack". The squad leader is taking up the rear.
