Are you ready for some football?
We had some pictures submitted to us (finally!) by a Marine with one of our subordinate commands. 1st Lt. Vreeland brought us some pretty darn good shots of Marines and Iraqi troops playing football (that's soccer to us Americans) on a dusty pitch here. Seems like it's a tradition for American guys to play football any time they stop somewhere. I can't tell you how many matches I've watched with different foreign countries over the years.
But before the soccer pics, here are a few gratuitous boom shots to satisfy those among us who love explosions (and sunset silhouettes).
With that out of the way, here go the football pics.
We will actually have more on a similar story soon!
