My 2nd tour we were doing convoy security for KBR, That took us all over Iraq to just about every FOB in Iraq. Many Many miles on those freaking roads.:thumbdown:
Bagram's not bad. It's got good chow and a good gym. I've gotten too old to go FOB camping with the 'kids'. I'll be in the rear with the gear this time working on staff. I'll probably get bored within a week and go out hunting.
I was on FOB Diamondback in Mosul in 2006 with the 101st, and based out of Balad from October 2010 to March 2011 with a US SOCOM JTF but traveled all over the country.

I drove convoy ops throughout Iraq. I traveled as far north as FOB warrior and all the southern FOB's. I was at FOB kalsu on its last days and FOB Adder as well, right up until the moment we gave it over to the Iraqis.
DUOTE=yellow_snocone;14792356]Gotta love that push. FOB Scania was a great truckers stop I missed it on my last tour [/QUOTE]
Scania, man that place was a dump.. I got sick everytime I ate the chow from there, then the toilets were so nasty you didnt even wanna use them, we ran fuel trucks through there all the time...
I loved scania it was so easy with the whites. I hated stopping in kalsu it would take forever with the whites and upload/download times were horrible. By far balad had to be the best for food and sleep tho.
Yea Scania was a quick turn around and so was Victory, Balad had some nice chow also, I miss the the free lobster...lol. My wife was at Taji and I would spend a few days there a month, It wasnt bad.
Last tour was short as a contractor. 10 months total in 2011 and spent a lotta time on rotor/fixed wing all over for relief of personnel going on leave. Spent time on Mosul, Irbil, Speicher, War Horse, Warrior, Balad, Victory, Al Asad and finished bouncing between Arifjan and Buehring when EOM was called.
