Its been a while since I've heard from him. The last I heard he was going to be with the 5th Marines. I can't remember which battalion. The 5th Marines always seem to rotating in and out of Iraq.

NYhunter;
   Josh is in the 2nd Marine Div., 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (spec Ops).
Right at the moment he is home until about 10/31..then he goes on deployment..
  He married his little bride in a small ceremony at church on Easter Sunday, ahead of their original plan...Her gown is now ready and they will have their belated reception on 10/22..
   
    He was scheduled to go to Afghanistan but will now be heading to Iraq...to one of the very hot spots ( I better not say just where).
   He even knows his individual assignment there. He will be his unit's designated sniper. As I understand it he and his " spotter " will more or less free range the battle area, picking targets and engaging special designated targets when called upon.
 
   Apparently not a single task sniper, he will also carry his Beretta and a shotgun (Mossberg 500)..
   
   Josh, his Dad and I visited a friend at work this morning...Bob is the  V.Pres. of Ontario Knife Co. & Queen cutlery.
  Ontario makes all the Marine corps blades and most of the blades for the other branches.
      We toured the plant and Josh was presented with a new knife that is not yet issued, a beautiful aircraft egress and survival knife. It is a bit more compact than most survival blades buit a tremendously rugged piece...Josh plans on attaching it inverted, onto his armored vest..

    Prayers for his safety would be appreciated..

Ironglow, I saw where he had some posts on another forum that I won't mention due to forum rules. It looked like his last post was 11/2/05. :D
