Welcome to The Sandbox, our command-wide milblog, featuring comments, anecdotes, and observations from service members currently deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. This is GWOT-lit's forward position, offering those in-country a chance to share their experiences and reflections with the rest of us. The Sandbox's focus is not on policy and partisanship (go to our Blowback page for that), but on the unclassified details of deployment -- the everyday, the extraordinary, the wonderful, the messed-up, the absurd. The Sandbox is a clean, lightly-edited debriefing environment where all correspondence is read, and as much as possible is posted. And contributors may rest assured that all content, no matter how robust, is currently secured by the First Amendment. To submit a post, click here

As many of you know, I’m a member of Bad Voodoo Platoon and I’m currently deployed in support of OIF. Over the last year several of us, including fellow blogger and Sandbox contributor Toby Nunn, have been videotaping our experiences. Deborah Scranton (director of The War Tapes) has made a film for PBS FRONTLINE called Bad Voodoo’s War that will be airing on April 1st.

I did take quite a bit of film myself and I do show up in a few scenes, but it turns out I’m pretty shy in front of the camera. Well, when God gives you dashing good looks and a 170 I.Q., it’s only normal that one would have a couple flaws... say like, the "inability to fly” and “shyness”. I mean, I'm only human. Although these 80-inch biceps of mine might disagree.

Here's a link to the Press Release for the program. And here's the trailer:

IQ 170? I'm really, really impressed. What's your shyness quotient, do tell.

Staggeringly handsome, and geeky smart JP did an AMAZING job filming and of course without him -- the film never would have happened to begin with! His cameo appearances I'm sure will be savored by many...

Way to go Deborah!
Uh, David, I know you don't 'want' to get JP's fans in an tizzy. Let me just say this, You wouldn't come out smelling like a rose......

Can't wait for JP's and Bad Voodoo's premiere
