R&R
« on: December 15, 2012, 02:06:01 AM »
Well, after 230ish days, I get to come home for a couple of weeks. Won't be flying (no active account), but will be drinking (of course a nice single malt).  In fact, I have a cask strength 1994 Lagavulin waiting... mmm..  Anyway, here are a couple of pics for you...

Somewhere over southern Afghanistan.... how cool is the wing on a C-17?



Sunset over Kuwait/Persian Gulf, about a half hour out of Ali-al-Saleem



I have a few more cool, I will upload as bandwidth permits.  :salute

Late edit.. ISAF Joint Command HQ at Kabul, on an extremely rare clear air Kabul morning. I can count on my hand the number of times I have seem the stars at night in the last eight months.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Enjoy the family, Dirt. Hope our guys are doing you alright over there. Stationed with the 12th CAB now, got stuck on Rear D this time... That will never happen again. Almost enough to make a man drop his retirement. Seven court Martials and 36 chapters later.

Tom I have met a few of them. I doubt things are much better deployed. I am stuck in Kabul at the ijc headquarters. Thanks H for the offer.

Since it is Xmas we get to fly on the bigger plane. Only one stop and I will be able to replenish my Guinness paraphernalia

Moelders, PM me your name. IJC is small enough, I bet we crossed paths. Back home.



Distiller's Edition. 1996. This one is fantastic, highly recommended.
