Hi Everybody

Have a peaceful stay out there, and flip saddam the bird for me.

Also say hi to the warmth and the sun, and tell them both I'll see them around sometime... :rolleyes:

:cool: :cool: :cool:
 
Sure wish I could send you some concentrated liquid Kool-Aid: one tablespoon to 8 ounces or more of water. ( 1 tbls. of 190 proof = 1 oz. of 95 proof vodka ).

I'll have a ham sandwich for you.
 
Thanks for the pics Phil, literally quite cool. Spent another full day in the sun toting a rifle, escorting some fellows, got quite the "Willie Nelson tan" going on. Got crackin' at 0400 and got relieved at 1400. Went back to my tent for a nap and it was like a dadgummed oven. Too hot to sleep, too tired to stay awake, finally dozed off and woke up a short time later soaking wet. The old system's flushed out pretty good, that first cold beer on the way home is going to hit like a ton of bricks.:eek:

This may sound funny, but I kind of miss sweating my *&$#^ off in desert heat. I got to feel it a little in Laughlin, but not nearly enough.

Is that rifle the sweet little 16 you posted awhile back? What's your current carry khuk?
 
Great to here from you Sarge. Mr. Summerton (older civilian army engineer with Bura AK) is also currently located in your immediate vicinity. If you happen to run into him, be sure to inspect his knife and set him straight as necessary. :D

Take care as always!
 
Will do Raggy.:D I wear my khuk and just ignore the funny looks I get from the 82nd Airborne guys. The Rangers and Marines I've bumped into just grin and nod approval. Speaking of that, the boys visited one of the other camps and told me they spotted the woman of my dreams. She was a Marine, cute, petite, and, uh, well packed. Best of all she was sporting a knife that hung from her hip to her knee. Shame I wasn't there to, uh, sharpen her knife for her.;)

Sarge,

What was the female Marine’s MOS? I know a couple over there, including one of my combat engineers, that have rather large blades and like to use them J.

You must have missed SERE, JEST, and a few others where you learn to appreciate the crawly things. Or a tour in Thailand where one of the local initiations/customs is to eat a large water bug/beetle. It’s all good.

Just remember that the flushed out system will make you easy prey for the female of the species so take whatever precautions are appropriate. We wouldn’t want some wayward hussy taking advantage of you in a weakened and inebriated state, it would be unseemly!

"We wouldn’t want some wayward hussy taking advantage of you in a weakened and inebriated state, it would be unseemly!"

Only one? I'm hoping on a good half dozen or so.;) I haven't been married since I came home from Desert Storm anyhow, so bring on the "wayward hussys", bad girls need love and understanding too.:rolleyes: :) Hmmmm, if I can just make it home in time for Scarborough Faire (renaissance festival). There'll be some lively wee wenches there, aye and good ale and mead in the bargain.:D :) :D

Sarge,

The original supposition was on the way home, i.e. contract flight with ethanol products. The target selection and ratios would both be very small. Add in the 8,000’ cabin altitude and the ethanol effects are increased.

Having said that I never stated to take precautions in order to keep the females of the species away. Just precautions against the unwanted addition of jewelry to yourself or the weight reduction of your wallet to excessive degrees.

Det wives are another thing entirely; in these instances polygamy is an acceptable practice.

S/F, Mike
