|
|
I cannot say14 viewsI can't say what is in this building.Joe
|
|
What?10 viewsTerps are fun, but translation programs on the internet are easier for phonetic transliteration. When read aloud by an Arabic reader, they will say my name. Say my name!Joe
|
|
Anti Al-Qaida Poster14 viewsIt says that Al-Qaida is bad for the regular dude. Al-Qaida is the puppeteer and the average dude is the beheaded skull.Joe
|
|
Fish17 viewsMy awesome OIC out there. Now a Mr, Falkavelli was a great leader, a great officer and an all around good guy. The various leaders I've seen and served under could learn from him about taking care of their troops.Joe
|
|
Spider?20 viewsYes, that's a giant spider in an over sized water bottle from the UAE. Our quiet allies, thanks UAE (we buy stuff from them, that's pretty much it).Joe

|
|
Terps20 viewsWho couldn't use some Terp love?Joe
|
|
Baghdad Leaving13 viewsMet up with an old tech schoolmate and coworker Andy LaBance or "Tiny Dancer" as we call him. Great guy, was happy to run into him.Joe
|
|
Waiting 113 viewsThis is when it was clearing up and I could actually go outside. My eyes were hurting for about an hour after 2 minutes of exposure.Joe
|
|
Waiting 214 viewsNo, really? I wonder why?Joe
|
|
Waiting 411 viewsWe finally escaped. This on the evening of my 4th day waiting to just get out of Iraq. I'm riding in a C130 listening to some serene music to keep myself from going nuts. Oh, I had just torn a tendon in my right ring finger and almost knocked a few people to the ground in our hurry to get our bags while slipping in the fine freshly fallen dust on the plastic ground covering.Joe
|
|
Waiting 317 viewsSitting in the PAX terminal for our 3rd day in a row. We just slept on the concrete. Being stuck because of a dust storm and missing your rotator does not make one happy.Joe
|
|
Evidence15 viewsOk, this is slightly controversial. This was discovered at a house in Iraq. That handgun (illegal now) is loaded, and his finger is on the trigger (stupid). He is joking (dumber) and his new bride is trying to laugh off his ridiculous (dangerous) behavior without offending him. I have mixed feelings about Iraq. The problem starts with terrorists, insurgents and ends with major culturally embedded behavioral problems (eg. the current male-ocracy).Joe
|
|
My Awning30 viewsI found this sheet in the issued linnen for your bed in Kuwait and kept it. It has grommets all down one side and on each corner. I figured it would be perfect for a shad deal, of course the sun moved and then I moved my wole operation down to the shade of the CHU in front of me.Joe
|
|
The best parts for last18 viewsMona and I were craving chocolate, so she at the feet and I ate the head. I thought it was pretty funny that we left the best parts of Candy for the boys.Joe
|
|
My "desk"26 viewsI paid $60 for a month of internet. Of course, it's filtered, and slow as shit. It's limited to 150mb a day download. Good luck, even if you spent all day, you might get 100. Also, I don't get coverage in my room, so I have to set up shop outside. At least I have connectivity. It's a desert so, at night it can get cold even if it's in the upper 80s during the day. Definitely not ergonomic.Joe

|
The boys24 viewsMike and John, playing some mini hockey, during some down time in Iraq.Joe
|
|

Dust in the Air20 viewsIt wasn't a dust storm, it was like dust fog. It just hung in the air, without blowing, it was very surreal how orange everything looked.Joe
|
|
