Photobucket? Only if you're half-assed serious about this. Flickr is the way to go, man. There's No easier way to store and arrange a whole bunch of photos for free.

I'm always super curious to see what photographers like you have to share.

Yuck, I hate browsing with photobucket. But thanks for sharing these. I've spent some time looking at lots of them already. I'm so jealous and so torn. I'd love to be there with my camera, but at the same time, I probably wouldn't love to be there. What kind of gear were you allowed to use? Was this camera issued by the army then? Or did you have to use your own?

The camera kit that i used was issued by the Marine Corps. For my first tour, i used a Canon D10 with 18-25 f/2.8; 25-70 f/2.8; and a 70-200 f/2.8. My second tour i used the D20 with the same lens. Some great shot oppoutunities as well some of the best sunrises and sunsets i have ever seen.
And here is an update for my photos...http://www.flickr.com/photos/34132523@N03/, enjoy.
