I’ve been working on this site for my army unit here in Baghdad, Iraq. Check out some exciting photos of soldiers in action, post at the forums, and learn our unit history. Let me know what you think.

Maybe leaving a few words of love and support for our soldiers would be very nice 🙂 Thanks again.

You have put alot of work into this website. I don’t personally agree with our Prime Minister Howard with the war in Iraq so it’s hard to remain objective especially when there are people employed to serve their country and risking their own lives for the sake of our democratic vote.
Anyway, when I click on the directives I get a messy white rectangle in Safari and most of the site is in html? Do you really need animation for this site?
🥚 I really don’t know. but I should so I take the fifth on this one.
To those fighting in the name of “freedom” in Iraq- there is alot to answer for with regards to every family involved- American. English. Iraq. Australian and the rest of our planet and no-one can speak for any of them- I’m sad and respectful of everyone involved.
:asleep:

Pretty good site you got there. The graphics are nice, though red isn’t one my favorite colors, I do forgive you :lol: . Good job all around! That first pic in your Gallery page is my favorite. You’re a military man, so why not incorporate that into some Flash animations? Just a thought…
Keep up the good work, and I don’t just mean the site 😉 .

I dont like the site, it looks cheesy and reminds me more of a computer game than real life…i found it very simple to navigate and the layout is clearly well thought through. While technically the graphics are pleasing, i refer to you to my first point
it has a very noble purpose so i wish you all the best

I think the site looks pretty sweet, with the exception of so much red… but i can get over that… it looks a lot like an internet ‘clan’ site, except the war you guys fight in is no video game.
I think you’ve done a great job giving your fellow soldiers an easy way to communicate with eachother and their families. Good job. Did you take the pictures on the site??

I am a major supporter of our troops and support personnel. I have seen many company sites on the net and they are all frontpage look-a-likes. Your design is long awaited for supporters like me. Those are some great pics you got on there and the site has kept it’s focus. I am no fan of war but I am a fan of those brave enough to serve our country, whether our leadership is right or wrong, the job must be done. I would be there myself but I am a single father and my duty is to my daughter for now. Thank you for your service.
More on the site… It does look like a “clan” site for some FPS game. I don’t think that is an insult rather a compliment, I think all of the company sites out there should have such a design. If any of your visitors have any question of the “reality” of your site, all they need to do is visit the photos page. BTW you need a link back to the home page from the forums page.
Keep up all the good work there and with your site, and rest assured there are normal, hard working, non-republican, proud people back home wishing you peace, luck and pride over there, and we hope you come home soon.
