As The Sparks Fly Upward

Time keeps on slipping (slipping, slipping) into the future…

  • You have reached a 2008 blog…

    ...about the day-to-day adventures of MAJ Erik Rupard, working as a physician in a Troop Medical Clinic in Iraq, during 2008. It is presented as a diary, in chronological order, but feel free to start anywhere.

    I'd like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the fine soldiers of the 581st ASMC who kept me alive, happy, and well-fed throughout my time in Al Asad.

    If you are a former or current 581st member and you want to reach out to me or any of the others, head on over to Facebook, and search for Erik Rupard. Talk with you soon!

Do not adjust your set

Posted by Erik Rupard on April 2nd, 2008

We are experiencing technical difficulties….or a high volume of callers…wait time is…indefinite and thank you for calling.

Actually Erik asked me to post this last night and it took me a while to figure out how. He is w/o any access-at least any reliable internet at the moment. He is fine. There are some technical or strategic reasons why there is currently no internet from Al Assad. Please come back and check frequently.  Erik should be back on board soon.

Thanks for your continued interest.

Erik and family.

    I just didn’t want anyone thinking anything horrible when he hadn’t posted for a few days.
    I talked with him this AM and things are good with him-he had a very busy clinic and couldn’t talk long. Things are good here too other than Maya is pretty sick. Also my friends Ray and Lisa Criswell are coming over to help construct my square foot gardens this morning. You should check it out. It’s amazing. To see how, go to
