Hey, this is my first post here. I have started a Flickr photo set of my US Army Band work in Iraq. I'll start by sharing a photo of my rig here and let you go to Flickr to see the rest of the pics if interested. Hooah!

Here is the link to the photo set

My internet time is limited but wanted to get the word out and have a little outlet.
I lead two music groups here and play guitar in one of them. We perform at our large base here in Baghdad regularly and we also travel (convoy mostly) into harms way each week to small bases and play for our fellow servicemen and women. It is rewarding work.

Welcome to the forum, and a big thanks for all of you risking your cheeks over there for us bums back home :)

Nice rig. It's great that you get to jam and provide some great entertainment for the other troops over there. Keep rocking brother-man, and keep your head down!

Airborne! I am now with the America's Corps Army Band, assigned to HQ, Multi-National Corps-Iraq. I play in a group called "Tuff Boxx & the Baghdad Horns" a blues, rock, funk, ska, jazz variety cover band, covering songs from the 70's to current hits. It's great to hear that you got to hear our band's when you were over there. We are trying really hard to get out and spread the music.
Thanks for your service brother!
