I spent some time on a base where they taught Iraqi soldiers. They make the funniest bang noises. I'm sure its very challenging for the instructors though.

Ha ha, if you say so. My job is tiring. :[ I work for 12-14 hours 6 days a week. 1 day off. And Hardly any free time.
I have been over here for about... 10 months now. And I'm coming back home in a couple of weeks.

S'ok I always think the photography DDs are way better than others specially better than the repeated amount of fettish stuff. Are you in the army or are you a journalist?

Maybe this will sound a little bit strange, but I would like to do war pictures, I know it's dangerous and you can die, but that kind of pictures are special, is like you risk your life for some great shots that you won't ever take at a normal situation...

Great shot!
The extremely sharp focus on the soliders and blur on everything else is attention-demanding.
