sorry to say, logistics, moving stuff around is very dangerous in Iraq. A lot of this is done by civilian contractors withe armed escorts. If your BF is involved in convoy escort he is in a tough place to be, however if he is managing contractor activities, he is in a completely different situation. (The best clue is the higher the rank, the less likely he will be involved in convey escort)
Thank him for his service for me and I will keep you an him in my prayers

That kind of depends on where he will be operating. In my mind the transportation soldiers have been heros of this war. I can't say that it is the most dangerous job, but it is up there. However, I know lots and lots of transportation soldiers that ran convoys all over Iraq, out on the road for weeks at a time, and never got a scratch.

if he does a lot of convoys, he is in a lot of danger, but all us soldiers must move in armored vehicles now, so it wont be so bad. he'll be fine. mail him lots of cookies and stuff!
