thanks guys, I know my 'travels' have been jumpy, went to Saudi to pay off bills and they didn't pay enough (was there 8 months), no jobs in the USA that I desired although I was looking and applying (at X-mas i went home for leave and interviewed for a position in WA state where I grew up, was #1 on the list and they suddenly had a hiring freeze); so I was offered a position as a IT/Comms working with the CivPol (teaching civilian police tactics to Iraqi's).

Its not unsafe, but no action (thank goodness), but the unrest has caused us to not drive around several days at a time.

So, I am SE of Baghdad and enjoy working with troops again (retired 20 yrs army), my son, please pray for him and his soldiers, is a seasoned, combat (two tours) Sergeant, just making it to Afghanistan as of this week, so Dad is in iraq, son is in Afghan, wife is at home wondering what the heck....
