This is Hansen, one of my best friends and he's in my team... he got shot in the head. If you buy Marine times, you probably saw him on the cover about 2 months ago.

Playing some baseball in Kandahar before combat operations began.


This is my pack, the taliban hit it and not me... the bullet was stopped inside the middle of the pack and I now have it around my neck.

Sunset in the desert

Got a **** ton more pics but this internet is so slow that I don't have the time to upload them all, got some pretty sick video of 2,000 pound bombs being dropped on taliban strongholds, endless firefights, shooting javelin and tow missiles, kicking in doors, rocking on the MK19, etc etc etc i'll post that when I get some better internet.

Wait till you see the videos...

You ever see American Pie Beta House and the last event in the greekathalon where the two dudes are trying their best not to blow? Well that's pretty much how any Marine who sees the vids will react.

ROFL! at the above!

Yeah man, it was good talking to you last night.

3 months without a haircut? lol, thats wild. It looks like you've went 3 months without a shower too haha.

This is some motivating **** man. I know it is going to be hard when you come back to all your old friends. They will be asking about how many people you killed and all you can do is smile.

Get some, oohrah.

[Marine84]

You go boy! I can't wait to see the videos!

All you Poolies and Wannabes better think long and hard about whether you can handle some $h!t like what Flash is going through now. It's some serious $h!t - nothing like that PS3 you're playing with now.
