Do they still have hesco barriers around the starbucks?  It's one of my most comical and cherished pictures.

Yes I thought it was funny too.  I think the funniest thing I saw was the Air Force walking around in Amber status because Kuwait was so dangerous...
I do not mean to take away from the Air Force, I love their CAS, that A-10 is a beautiful thing when you need help but some times they go just a bit overboard. 

I cannot say much I keep misspelling Tallil (finally got it right there). 

Yenny:  I was able to play last time I was over here (and I did have the 700 - 1200 pings).  It takes a bit to get used to but it does help a little.  I learned how to better anticipate my opponents moves because of it.  I think the funniest thing I saw was in a fight with a niki and he suddenly departed the fight.  I thought "Great he is dead now".  Little did I know I was missing a wing, just took a few seconds to register on my computer.  Lol.

<S> all of you who responded and <S>ed me.  One of the many reasons I love this community and will never leave it... (sorry to those of you I annoy :P )

At CP liberty they have "T" walls around Popeye's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and the important one "Cinnabun".  Subway is setting out in the open though.

Thats how it was for my unit that last deployment. They told me they had to build cobs and fobs for their entire battalion. HESCO walls are your friend I suppose.


Good luck Tom stay safe :salute

Hey Tom, Maybe I missed it but I would like to know what you do over there. (MOS) Get home safe my friend and I hope you can figure out a way to fly with your buddies while you are deployed. If it wasn't for guys like you we wouldn't have a country to play Aces High in.

Condor my MOS Is 25C, one of them commo pukes, just think of me as a Uniform and you will know what I do. 

Yenny, there is a Starbucks over by dfac 2 on camp buehring.  Starbucks is against the war so they will not put one in Iraq but I guess it is okay for them to bilk the Soldiers in Kuwait.  Ah political correctness run a muck.

I did get over to the pizza inn.  Was the first time I went there in three rotations through Buehring.

Green Beans is way better anyway.  Their fruit smoothie things will start hitting the spot any time now as it starts to get even warmer.

If starbucks wouldn't go into Iraq but would still hang out in theater to make a buck then I have one more reason why I never bring them any of my money.

I seem to remember a Chinese restaurant at Beuhring that was actually really good.  It was in one of the food/MWR areas.  I bet it's still there.  If it is, try the orange chicken!
