JACK ARMY, scanning my sector!
go ahead T, toot your horn. You did a great job yesterday. You are an awesome soldier. We are very proud of you. Come home safe and in one piece.
Thank god you all came out as well as you did!! "Scary shit" indeed! Thanks for giving us the update ~ the news is not my favorite medium on the war.
You keep that helmet on, y'hear!!!
(sending in more angels)
Shit yeah, you did the right thing. I've been in a couple situations kinda like yours and what you did and how you reacted is what ALL the great NCO's I've served with handled it.
You took care of yours with you, set-up and consolidated then went after the ole' man.
Text book bro.
Let this be a lesson to all you SPC's out there reading this right now. This is how you deal with something like this.
Beers on me if you're ever in Wisconsin.
JB2D out.
Glad you're safe and pray you stay that way! Scary is right!
Damn, Siempre en mis oraciones!!! Tu y tu familia!!!
Hang in there big Sgt! Prayin for all of you, from out here on the Left Coast!!!
I am very glad you and all of your Soldiers are okay. You performed your duties just as I knew you would.
I have no doubt you and your Soldiers will continue to be successful in your mission.

Holy cow! Glad yer alright... we are praying for you! All of us are really proud of you... hang in there....
You never cease to amaze me. Great job and stay strong! We are behind you! Thank you for your courage and strength. As Americans, we couldn't exist as we do without men like you!
You assessed the situation, kept your cool, took care of your men, and went after your boss.
Sounds like you got the job done!
(But Thank God for uparmored Humvees.)
Glad you're ok.
Thanks for the account of events as you see them, T.
Good to see you all come out OK and I must say a job well done.
This old boy from Louisiana is very proud of you and your men.
Stay safe...

I can't tell you how hard I had to force myself to breathe when I saw the subject line of the email in my inbox. I'm so glad you and your men are ok. I have a feeling that none of the IA guys that were there for that will ever let another vehicle through those gates without searching it first.
Stay safe. Many prayers on the way.
Please accept the thanks of one Canadian who is more than grateful that you and your Unit are on patrol and on your watch keeping my part of the world safe.
May God Bless and keep you all, Sgt., and please keep on kicking...I'll allow you to add the rest. Thank you.
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
J.A., I'm sure glad you guys came out of that ok. I can't see any other way but to keep our resolve strong, to keep moving forward,to win. The altenative is unthinkable for us, and for the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the many other places where the W.O.T. is being fought. Give your troops our thanks, and keep up the great work!
thank you for being the example to follow.
Glad you and your men are O.K.
I came over from Chuck Z's blog. You all are the best and thanks for standing up for America.
MJ
Thank God.
And many thanks to all of you.
Please follow your wife's instructions 
came over from HF6's site.. scarey stuff, sarge. so do what I tell my DH and all his guys.... keep your helmet on and your ass down!
LAW
Hope that is as close as you and your men will ever be to one of those explosions. Been reading for a while; take care and thanks to all of you and your families for the job you are doing.
God bless and keep you all safe.
Cathy and Gary B
Sounds like you did what was needed to be done. Glad you are all okay.
Prayers for your continued safety.
Sounds like you were very calm and did the things that needed, plus setting the example for your soldiers. Well done - and glad you are able to tell us about it.
WTG big sarge, they don't get any easier but the do get to be more routine. Keep taking care of yours and remember that getting hit is like watching a ripple in a pond. The splash is the initial event, first you make sure you don't have any extra holes, then you check on your joes, then you ensure that you can employ your squad to either close or disengage. After that first eternal 10 seconds things kind of compress and expand.
Glad things worked out for you.
Ya'll never stop amazing me. Jeeez Louise.
I read this story and then have to listen to a bunch of wussies whine about how hard their job is, and I just shake my head, cause what I really want to do is bitch-slap everyone of them.
SEMEPR FI BRO. Keep your head down.
2/2 67-69
God Bless all of you. Keep fighting the good fight.
Thanks, Jack Army, for ALL that you do. Have posted over at Tanker Bros (and added you to my faves).
Keeping you ALL in my prayers.
J.A. you were so cool and collected under fire. I know you didn't feel that way bur you did what your men needed. That's a true leader.
I am so glad you and your men are OK. Thank God for that. Thank you for your courage and sacrifices. Thanks to your family too for all they sacrifice. God bless you, your men, and your family and keep you all safe.THANK YOU!
Yep, keep always in mind the need to stay clam, clue, and corrected! 
Sounds like you did exactly that.
thank you for doing your job and take care!
Thanks for the awesome post and especially for keeping your head! I hope that was the closest you and your guys come to any other bombs and that you all make it home safely.
You're doing a GREAT job and making us here at home very proud!
Jack-I was at Bernstein from December 2004-October 2005 and I have been to that building many times. Was the mayor killed? He was always railing against Americans, but the officer who worked with him most often (a very sharp captain) said it was in large part an act and that he could be trusted. How about any of the IA? I might have known some of them as well. Glad to hear you guys came out of it OK.
Hi! I'm here via Kath. I can't imagine what it must be like for your family knowing you have to go through experiences like that. My eldest grand-son is saying he wants to join the army which is very worrying. I think you should be proud of the way you reacted and looked out for your men.
May God keep you and your men safe.
Glad you and your Soldiers are okay Jack Army, take care and continue to stay safe.
Wow, never a dull moment with Jack Army! I'm glad you are safe and glad you did well.
Thanks for your account of this & I am so glad all is well with your & your guys. I pray you never go thru such an experience again. Take care to you all.
Thank goodness you and the guys are okay. That was to close. I applaud you for all that you do. You have touched the deepest part of my soul by shareing your experience. I will think of you and keep you in prayer.
