Bad ass!
Have some pics from Somalia that I am trying to post. Damn technology. They are from a former Russian airbase we went to back in the 80's.

Story from Cobra Gold.
We were doing helo ops off our ship and were told specifically not to leave the ship unless involved in the ops.
Being a Marine, that was taken as a challenge. My buddy and I were off.
Got on a helo and flew into "somewhere" Thailand with the assurance they were coming back.
Small Thai airbase and we went to their snack bar for a soda.
Sure enough, later, some of of officers flew in too, right in the middle of our snack.
We looked at them, they looked at us, no one said shit because none of us should have been there.
Caught the next helo out and no one said anything.

I was a gunner/driver in a scout truck in Afghanistan 2009-2010 for a convoy security mission.
I bought this flag online when I was in AFG I thought it would look great on the mine roller.











Here is my bed for the night ahhh comfy, this is outside the wire. That sucked.

Just another day



I've got some really cool pictures and video of more violent stuff but too many people would try to arock me.

I didn't have much in the parents department but one of my grandparents was cool enough to come to my Basic Training Graduation, the medal is expert rifle and expert grenade iirc.

One of these days I gotta learn how to post pictures. You guys wouldn't recognize me being so skinny back then (34+ years ago).



Oh well; who's ever heard of a skinny Santa [Bear]?!

Never deployed here, but that does not mean I didn't know it was a possibility when I joined. Happy Belated Veteran's Days to all who are/have served. Thank you. Also, my wife leaves tomorrow for Africa out of Fort Carson, please keep her and her comrades in your thoughts.

Ok, let it be known that you came out by calling your friends "rack mates" You sailors always did give us Marines a good boat ride, and the Corpsman was your best friend.
Just messing with you!
