I think the Air Force wears black tees under the uniform blouse actually. White is for dress Unies. Socks for boots technically have to be black, but I don't think that one really matters. Really nice bot socks kickass though. I'll see if I can find any of the pairs I used to have for mine, they ruled. They were really thick around the ankle and heel, thin on top of the foot, and had like an elastic spandex kinda thing circling the arch, they felt awesome and kept your feet both warm and dry in winter, and cool and dry in summer.

Since he's in a muslim country, he can't have anything remotely close to porn (even like Maxim and Stuff is off limits) or alcohol, but most other stuff is okay, especially food. Anything food-wise is good, especially pre-packaged junk food. Local and national papers go over well too overseas.

I should be going to the fire bases starting next week or late this week..they are still getting hit every week. but I'll be fine. going to eat now hungry..

hahah actually I already have the gold bond powder...and it works well. It now apperas that I'm on the second rotation out so I'll be here for 30 days then out for 60..repeat...but its ok because just 2 cycles and I'm on leave for 2 weeks.. The 30 days here I'll be pulling duty like watching the hodgies pull work detail, load up fuel trucks for the fire bases and working the tank farm..not to bad.
OH yes the room I'm in while here does have AC but not much good that will do when its 125 deg.. It well be hard to send pics home on the net because of sensorship and approval shit..so when a memory stick is full I'll send it home downloaded then sent back..

take care all.

yup I can come home, its actually suggested to go home. I can go anywhere I want really. I've got a few invites to romania. that would be cool I'd like to see draculas castle, but I think I will come home. The good thing is if I do go home they pay for it. That and my leave clock starts only when I get in the US. So if it takes a few days to get home the better..14 days could turn into 21 really easy.

Good to hear that you're doing okay!

I saw a few weeks back that we lost a CH-47 in Afganistan... anyone from Reno involved?

The crash your talking about a few weeks ago...they are part of our task force (storm) but none from reno were involved. try this for a dry heat..it got up to 145 last year here where I'm at. I'll need more powder for my fishing gear.

What're you talking about? You don't have to worry till about 220 to 240... then your oil starts to break-down. Oh wait, we're not talking about engine temps are we?

Good pics, Chris. The mountains in the background of the first pic look pretty scenic.

Why is the flag backwards on your sleeve, btw?
