Me(on duty) and a few buddies(transient from Bagram) screwing around at the large Soviet era bunker near the old headquarters building at Manas. That is a large blast door behind us.

oh the memories at green ramp. loved the sitting around in the harness waiting for the 130 or 141 to be ready while cooking in the sun with all that stuff on. Actually i kinda liked being around there until that c141 blew up, after that kinda didnt want to be there at all. the scary thing is that i was suppoed to jump that day on the very 141 that blew up. Told the ops guy in my CO that i had some stuff to do at div hq and he pulled me from the jump since i was just filling a chute.

Here goes.

An Afghan dinner pic. We were staying at a police station, in the prison.

Yours truly shooting an Afghan's issued Sigma. It jammed constantly.

My favorite picture, of a range we made.

My second favorite picture, of the United Arab Emirates vehicles.

The dinner on my final patrol. We got invited to a local's house to celebrate. It was fantastic. (Everything in the picture is for one person)

Fixed links, I hope.

Bahrain Saudi Arabia? You make it sound like the Saudis took over the island.
