Fallujah The first thing I noticed about this deployment was the overwhelming scale and man power involved in this conflict. My first deployment was totally different. We lived in a small base, more so on our own. We lived in the city and conducted countless foot patrols, daily. Here in Fallujah, everything was mounted in trucks and the distances we patrolled where a lot longer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546725846390-4U2H2LIQ5ZR2JOCVA6IV/DSC_1237_822.JPG Blog - Fallujah Despite our random check points, invasive patrols and questioning. Most people where friendly and cordial. Now, I’m not that naive to say that everyone didn’t hate our guts or talk shit. I guess that’s the benefit of walking around armed to the teeth, people tend to want to be on your good side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546710607546-ASDSMET8WSS95F7397UB/DSC_0917_579.JPG Blog - Fallujah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546726234502-DY2RIWKO1AEOH1FBD7MT/3530371610_0fb44e6823_o.jpg Blog - Fallujah Since I’ve been reintroduced back into photography. I’m giddy as a school girl to learn and improve. Like the old saying goes, “The more I see, the less I know”.

There is a certain trait that inhabits all humans. No matter what may transpire, we all process a special knack that allows us to adapt to any situation that presents itself. Even if you have to rebuild from the ground up, people always find a way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546678769490-7PQTR2WKUJ5FCN0TBAKN/DSC00285.JPG Blog - Fallujah But as they say, War never changes and I felt right at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546678272643-FHS6B6I368TFCKOIO2WA/DSC_0824_478.JPG Blog - Fallujah Night and Day , we would stand post, rotating after 5 hours. One relief would arrive, you where left to occupy your time with sleep, low quality movies, and the worst porn you’ve ever seen. In my case books, music and photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546678324147-16AGH4F3OU5HFE8HBWH3/DSC_0728_451.JPG Blog - Fallujah Post is a vulnerable position to be in. You stand in a little box (target) for hours. It’s hot as hell, and boring as all fuck. The only temporary relief comes in the form of smoking cigarettes or sneaking your helmet off for a few minutes. Besides keeping the base safe. I found that the main benefit came from observing the locals and having a birds eye view of everything. A passive observer of different social customs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546710872476-TBUS5OBXLMWVKDR9HN5M/DSC_0012_1032.JPG Blog - Fallujah Post, duty calls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546711364747-0I4MU050N527W7P9JJZE/DSC_1407_953.JPG Blog - Fallujah You had to occupy your time in some way, for me the sillier the better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546725882768-5EEZRG673D8IQAFYYCU3/DSC_1243_826.JPG Blog - Fallujah Photography is an example is how cultural and circumstantial barriers can be broken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546725945422-LJT6Z0O6057VSGCDVCCC/DSC_1473_1014.JPG Blog - Fallujah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546726194273-HYUL30B60KMR5RCSL0HR/DSC_1141_724.JPG Blog - Fallujah Honestly, I’ve been having difficulty summarizing this post. There are so many ways to close this, I’m having trouble choosing what route to take. I could talk about adjusting to being back home, and how people change mentally and emotionally. My own opinions of the war and how it’s conducted. The way America treats veterans. The list goes on! So, in the mean time. Until I have a appropriate conclusion for this post. I’ll just leave this monologue right here. ‘Unill next time. Up next is a tale about compulsive car buying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546677937182-DM7ON4QB5RK0OIBQ8T3E/DSC_0559_333.JPG Blog - Fallujah The day of deployment is a bitter sweet moment. While it’s wonderful to see family and friends gather in celebration of your accomplishments and forthcoming deployment. The underlying tone is still a bit grim. Belonging to a Infantry unit is a unique experience within the Military, perhaps more so in the Marine Corps. Because of the harsh realities of our job. Deep personal bonds are formed, extending to each others family. A support network is formed, everyone knowing that there is a possibility that some of us may not return. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546678492018-Q4NB4ROM5YULMM7EQCLM/IMG_0771+-+Copy.JPG Blog - Fallujah The trip to Fallujah where the same sequence of events of my last deployment.

Unlike my last deployment, patrols are now mounted. Using the ol’ MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected), we drove all over the Fallujah countryside. I would always ride lead vehicles because I had a lust for life. Watching for IED’s, stopping traffic, and waving at people are the main duties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546725897918-SFGV2CL2VJ54UV2KU4GD/DSC_1244_827.JPG Blog - Fallujah Especially in some country’s where it’s uncommon to have digital media constantly at your finger tips.

It was by no means a calm, safe environment. Due to the effective onslaught of the U.S military. The combat devolved into I.E.Ds, small but intense skirmishes and snipers.The new base we inhabited, a Marine unfortunately was killed only a few weeks earlier. During my first night, one of our trucks hit a IED. It only stopped when we altered the terrain around our base The bulldozers hit a few bomb as they cleared the road. I know it’s a bit cliche, but it true. “War is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror “ I’ve chosen to keep to blog SFW, because showing graphic images without a context just becomes war porn.Combat Obscura is the film you should watch if you really wish to see what I and many other Infantry Marines had to experience, granted at many different levels. That film is defiantly not for the faint at heart, trust me. While I was viewing it for the first time. I found it very odd and shocking, witnessing someone experience the same type of events I did at the age 19-23 years old. If that is too heavy for you. The closest a movie has ever got to getting it right for my era, is Generation Kill on HBO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546678020785-3X7P691HGI3SQL46QQMR/DSC_0608_369.JPG Blog - Fallujah The city of Fallujah has been the subjected to heavy fighting since the beginning of the war.

I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for your average Iraqi citizen. We at least had the reassurance of going home within 7 months. For them, there is no escape from these awful conditions. This was about 5 years before ISIS, and unfortunately the city of Fallujah was one of the first locations they captured and had under their control. I and many others spent a vast amount of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears invested to the betterment of Iraq and it’s people.

Yeah, the food sucks over there. Every now and then we would have a BBQ or have some massive food tuck that looked more like a armored ice cream truck.

This would be my second time attending 29 palms. The one thing I noticed that they had a greater emphasis on counter insurgency training. Living cites that where made to look like Iraqi villages. Complete with 100's of role players the government would hire and transport to base. Their job would be to play the simple shop keeper, the crying mother, angry mobs, and hostile personal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546502936338-K580BIE79O8TKM4IDODR/DSC01461.jpg Blog - Training After a lengthily amount of time training at Camp Pendleton. The climax of training is 29 palms. Located in the beautifully depressing Yucca Valley. It's a month long training evolution that test your unit on everything you should have learned throughout the year. Jets, tanks, tracks, sun and SAND!!!! For about 1 month, you live in a hot, stuffy Quonset hut. Subject to all the extreme weather the desert environment produces. No time off, it's work all day and night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c2c0b5e4cde7a831b43fe08/1546503030307-VC78M1UKWYGXOP9Y7RYG/DSC01554.jpg Blog - Training It’s odd that the stereotypical military male is some square jawed former quarterback. As you can plainly see, it takes all kinds to fill the ranks. Ab’s are not required, just a certain mind set. Especially in the grunts, you put up with so much B.S. To quote the movie Platoon “Most come from the end of the line--small towns you never heard of: Pulaski, Tennesse;. Brandon, Mississipp;. Pork Bend, Utah; Wampum, Pennsylvania. Two years' high school's about it. If they're lucky, a job waiting for them back in a factory. Most have got nothing. They're poor. They're the unwanted. Yet they're fighting for our society and our freedom. It's weird, isn't it? At the bottom of the barrel, and they know it. Maybe that's why they call themselves 'grunts', 'cause a grunt can take it--can take anything." . Feelings aside on justification and legality of the Iraq war. There exist a portion of society that is willing to give themselves to this country. Most do it to fulfill a youthful lust for risk and adventure, some for prestige or a honest love for America. Despite how our country chooses to use these men and women. Even though I’m aware and understand the dangers of blind patriotism.
