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.

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...

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.

Glad everyone here made it home. :thumbsup:
