Mmmmmm, Kuwait & Iraq?
Have you got air-con and body armour??
Keep safe and enjoy.
well just got back from an uneventful trip except for the us army who couldnt organise a booze up in a brewery.
we got to the kuwaiti border at 11am and found our ■■■■■■ had shot off because thet didnt want to wait for us.
they came back at 10pm last night 
and took us to where we were told they wanted the old trucks and they told us after 3 hrs they didnt want it there so we went off again the offshoot of it all was we got back to the apartment at 11am this morning 30hrs in all without sleep no 45minute breaks here 
anyway i got paid ok very nicely and all went in bank ok.
they still want drivers if anyone is interested its money for old rope really apart from the silly hours sometimes.
will keep you posted

sorry m8 i’ll pass on that i got the t-shirt and video etc
I take my hat off to you Neil, hope you stay in one piece. Personally I’d rather go over Snake Pass at night with a full load, with black ice and thick fog, not to mention gale force winds, than be over there, but if it makes you happy and pays the bills, goo dluck m8. Keep us informed of your exploits.
Do they give you any weapons?
take it easy
Allrighty
just brought anew laptopsobe ableto keepintouch with you guys a bit better.
just off to iraq again should be back fri/sat

as usual the US ARMY messed things up so a 5 day trip turned into 6 but never mind.
hope all are well on here
best wishes
neil
Good to hear from you Neil and with another safe trip completed.
Keep safe.
You seem to be settling in really well Neil 
when you get the time could you go into a bit more detail of what life is like over there.
Stay safe.

you need to find somewhere to host them on the internet first. Like photobucket or as i do my free web space that i get with my net account.
Once they are on the web somewhere just post the link to them
