After many deployments I acquired many M4 mags , I was joking about loading them one day about taking a good hour to reload mags and posted a picture on them in a case . One had a Nickname written on it, A guy I know noticed it as his , I offered to send it to him.

I meant to upload a picture ours was even better had the up armor plates

We were doing a escort for a 5 hour convoy each way ,about 20 minutes outs of AQ (south of Sinjar near Syrian border) 100 and hell degrees and full of IEDs and EFP's local also liked sticky bombs from the kids . A/C decides go out . We get to AQ and well A/C Compressor out in our Caiman MRAP so now we are in a oven as only opening is the gunner turret . I have a driver that pours sweat looking at a high temp , so 5 hours back Before we leave I tell him strip all the gear off (against all SOP's PCC's ect ) and just drive as well he wasnt a gunner by any means but sun going down and should cool off a bit so 5 hours back luckily it was calm and no stopping .

When I lived down that way people would say hot, but hey Its not 125 I am in full uniform with a 75 pound kit , and little chance of me being hit by a IED or EFP. I am good.

Not much just spent many summers Cowboying in Powder River/ Kaycee area , Guess i could have used my GG Uncle Marshal Burdick(AKA the Man the hung Jack McCall)

Gov. Mark Gordon signed Senate File 121 into law Friday, a bill that establishes rodeo-themed Wyoming state license plates. The plates will be available next year, and will be created in response to an anti-rodeo campaign last year to eliminate the bucking horse logo from the state’s license plates. “Let’s go, let’s show, let’s rodeo,” Gordon said, receiving applause. State Sen. Brian Boner, R-Douglas, who sponsored SF 121, told Cowboy State Daily the bill was directly inspired by a request from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which says Wyoming’s logo glorifies rodeo, which it claims mistreats animals. Last June, PETA sent a letter to the Wyoming Senate president and House speaker requesting that residents have the choice to opt out from having to buy a license plate with the bucking horse logo on their vehicles. State law requires the logo on all of the state’s 19 license plate designs. PETA’s alternative was to put the skull of a triceratops, the state dinosaur, on plates. “It’s important that we stand up for our Western way of life,” Boner said. “It’s easy to take a ridiculous letter from PETA and just ignore it, but I think it’s worth a response.” Boner joked that now he may send PETA a copy of the new license plate.
