Just announced by Gunny Bob Newman on 850am KOA this morning while he is filling in for the vacationing Mike Rosen ... Gunny Bob received an email today from a 2nd Marines Division officer approving his visit to Fallujah, Iraq this January 2006 to broadcast his evening radio show LIVE. He will be leaving for Iraq on January 3rd or 4th and be in country until mid-January.

Update from Gunny Bob:

I will be spending as much time as possible on ops and patrol, once again walking the walk, which I have missed. The 2nd MarDiv was very kind to accept me back for a visit, given my DAV status(50% disabled), but I will do everything I can to bring home the truth.

And my employer, Clear Channel, is very cool to agree to send me and, frankly, risk an asset to get to the truth.

Official Announcement from Gunny Bob's website

GUNNY IS IRAQ BOUND

Will Embed With The 2nd Marine Division



Gunny Bob always walked the walk as a Marine infantry unit leader, but for the last 4 years at 850 KOA, he has only been able to talk the talk. That is about to change in a big way.

You wanted the Gunny to go to Iraq and see first hand what is really going on there. The Gunny thinks that is a great idea, so he departs the USA on 4 January for Iraq, namely western Iraq in al Anbar province and scenic places like Fallujah. He will return on approximately 15 January.

While there, the Gunny hopes to have some live shows and also do some battlefield reporting.

Semper Fi!
