1/09  This is our friends Teena & Chuck Sweet's son PFC Colby Sweet.
He left the US on June 8th for his first deployment over to Camp Delta, Iraq. In Al Kut. He's on a 15 month tour.  He'll be home for an 18 day RR sometime near the end of Jan.  While he's home he's planning on doing some "Harley" shopping. He's been daydreaming a lot over there. His mos is 63B, but his orders have since changed and he's the driver on their patrols. Mom sent this picture she just  loves..........he got his truck stuck one day while out scouting for a new location.    
PFC Colby Sweet, age 24
