Update (8/3/05): SSG. Will shares his perspective at the halfway point of his assignment in Iraq over at the NewsWest 9 website. The following post has also been updated to reflect Will's new rank of Staff Sergeant.

SSG. Will has assembled a great set of photos and captions taken on location in Iraq and Kuwait and we present them here for your viewing pleasure.

I also want to thank Will for making a pledge to my Blogathon campaign coming up next Saturday. I tried to talk him out of it, but quickly realized that he's better equipped to prevail in any kind of argument. ;-) Seriously, though, it's great to see west Texans supporting each other, even (especially!) from the other side of the world.

Below is a teaser from the photo gallery. This one also cries out for a caption, don't you think?

Photo - Camel in back of pickup

Couple of things to keep in mind while viewing the photo gallery. "IED" stands for "Improvised Explosive Device," and "C4" is SSG. Will's truck. But, you knew that.

Until I read through all the photos, I thought the camel in the truck was a person.

Imagine a heavily-clothed person falling forward in the truck bed, with his head tucked down in front of his chest so you can't see it. The thing sticking up over the gate is a foot in a thick boot.

I think I've disqualified myself from the caption contest...

Or, you may have just opened up a whole new category. ;-)
