Thanks for serving brother! 
I'm retired NAVY (FTCS (SS) ) and I appreciate your service! My son is currently there also and is in the First CAV in Mosul. He should be returning home in Dec. (COME ON WINTER )
We were at Corvettes At Carlisle last weekend and it was 95 degrees. Everybody was whining and bitchen how hot it was. I just had to remind them that it was 130 degrees in Iraq and just imagine how they would feel if they had to wear their winter coat and carry around 50 pounds of stuff! all day Thats what the soldiers in Iraq do daily!
Ive been to Bahrain UAE and in the summer! IT SUCKS!
Keep your A$$ Down, your eyes open and return home safely!
