Guy shows up, starts being an ass in the dorm. He slams doors, leaves lights on (big gap under the door lets a lot in when you want to sleep), blows off a captain when he's confronted, (guy in question is an E6), and is an overall douche. Then, he leaves this letter in the bathroom. Hijinks ensue. He gets pissed after all the other things show up and, a week or so later, photocopies of it start appearing around the base and in planes his crew is going to fly. Heard that he blew his top a few times after I went home. I'll still chuckle about it when I think about it. Huge pic here One of our pilots with Hadji, the Golden Wonder Camel http://www.solfire.com/~flyingfennec/Photogeek/GoodStuff/2006/Desert/DSC_3286.jpg Photos from 2008: Dragging A-10's into the AOR.

(I fucking hate refueling these things) http://www.solfire.com/~flyingfennec/Photogeek/GoodStuff/2008/Planes/Dents.jpg And from the other end of the boom. A lot of the time, they try to fly into the boom instead of letting the boom operator (me) do his/her job which ends up leading to dents. http://www.solfire.com/~flyingfennec/Photogeek/GoodStuff/2008/Planes/OtherEnd.jpg And one from 2008's deployment. Best KC-10 picture EVAR. http://www.solfire.com/~flyingfennec/Photogeek/GoodStuff/2008/Planes/backlit.jpg Awesome pics of the A-10s! I'm a 75th A-10 Crew Chief and was on that ESTA package going over in September. We just got back the other week. Do you remember between which stops those pictures were taken? |

I'm considering it myself, a 3 year enlistment, I'm 43 but I think i have 1 more 3 year infantry enlistment in me, not that it would put me close to retirement or anything, that would take another 14 pr so but I feel like doing it 1 more time and going to afghan while I can, anyhow congrats! |

Kinda dusty at Al Assad:  The glow is a cloud of dust from a medivac chopper picking up a TCN after an IED strike going through Abu Graighb. I got a cool video shot of it taking off, too.  Me & my truck.  Me & a dump trailer that got tagged with an IED (two 120mm mortar shells) going through Hit. Nobody was hurt, but setting a cordon during morning rush hour sucked.  Tom the Pepsi drinking cat! We always looked for this goign through Abu Graighb, going to and from BIAP/Victory.  |

My old G-ride with the Spark system. Thank you Parsons Engineering!
Stuck in Tikrit at 4am. This was in my original MRAP, sans the mineroller. I was driving that night to break the monotony. 
And now, my NEW G-ride, ala Spark system! 
The pointy end of the stick: 
My wife says I look "commanding" in this one: 
Where the hell are we? 
Clearly, the enemy. Supposedly an anti-tank mine:

My M240 I manned. 
Before we went out on an IED call. 
Yes, muh' fukas... We have "gernades". 
A Dragunov, a MacGuyver rifle, and an RPG Launcher. 
Other misc stuff. 
Mmm hmm. 
Remains of the T-1000 we encountered. 
Mores. 
My Marine ego. Semper. 
Sunset in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. 
My rifle. 
Happy with my pistol. 
Being not amused by the sandstorm. 
Goddamn fajitas night! 
Don't fall asleep while smoking in the goddamn shitters. 
This is me, yelling at an oreo for being delicious. 
The Iraqis came over for dinner, and decided to stay for breakfast. 
Iraqi humvee. You're welcome. 
I found this... Aaaaaand the word is spreading. "NUTS". 
Ewww pider! 
One of our trucks that got hit on the ass end by an IED.

I hope you don't mind, I caught the bug to make something, a little tribute to all of you.
I did use images found here on ARFCOM, including these ones. If you don't like it, IM me and I'll remove it ASAP. There aren't any words they could fully express our gratitude for what you've done for us, thank you. Godspeed. Tribute BOB Style As for those whose images didn't make it in, sorry, I couldn't get it to work out as hoped.
