My fellow Marines and I have just finished up our pre-deployment training at Camp Fuji, Japan before we go to Iraq in a few weeks. Many of us will be part of 1st Combat Logistics Battalion. We have been told that most of us will be going to either Al-Asad or Al-Taqqadum (TQ). Does anybody know anything about either of these places i.e. what other types of units are there, how frequent mortar/rocket attacks are in these places, what types of facilities are there now (laundry, barracks, PX), how good the relationship is with the local population? Many of us going soon are embarking on our first tour in Iraq. I'm hoping that any Marines there now or recently returned will be able to give me some information so that we will have a little bit better of an idea of what to expect upon arrival. Thank you
