Ah thank you Shauna!

I'm stayin' plenty safe. Safe as I can, anyway biggrin.gif

All I got for my birthday was punched in the shoulder by the guys in my section >.>;; But nothing bad happened, so that's a good thing, I guess.

I've got some meat on my bones now. Working out is what deployments are all about! And not getting sleep, but mostly working out.

No tanks is ok with me. They're a whole different beast to work on than anything else. Besides, the mraps here are practically big and armored enough to feel at home with, hehe.

I'm active. MOS is 91A (tank mechanic in a country without tanks tongue.gif )

I'm in a recovery section which means we roll out and repair/tow back damaged, stuck, or otherwise incapacitated vehicles.

And I carry an M4. Haven't taken a picture of it yet, but you can google it. Looks pretty much the same everywhere XD. Have a bipod/foregrip, flashlight, and mag pouch on the butstock. Kinda generic add-ons.

Still working on going through pics to find the ones I could theoretically post.

Interesting thing of the day: ANCOP are not terribly fun to share a base with. Don't like having their ID cards checked.

Yup, still alive. My posts will probably be kinda sporadic since we have pretty limited internet here and there's plenty of people who wanna use it. Plus the enforced comms blackouts from time to time...

Anyway nothing really new. My day consists of working on vehicles, guard duty, and random other work details. And sweating. Alot of that. Still workin' on pics. I'm not sure what I should actually post, but I could probably put some pics of my plywood room I share with 3 other guys XD

At least the goats are gone.

I swear I'll think of something interesting to say next time. Also, it's good to see some old friends are still here! Ok time to go.

I know you all thought I'd turned to dust by now, but The Ancient One lives on! And I guess I should feel at home since I'm surrounded by dust. It's everywhere. EVERYWHERE!! sleep.gif

I'm stayin' plenty safe so far. I'm just killin' a bit of time before I go on tower guard. That's another funderful part of my day, heh.

I'm gonna have to be creative on pictures and stuff... might be a while before those appear here.

One last snippet before I take off: I had the "pleasure" of herding goats and sheep onto a truck the other day. Rumor has it we bought them for "minefield detection". No washers and dryers here, but I'll be damned if the Army didn't buy us almost 60 smelly, stubborn, bleating minesweepers. Only the best out here tongue.gif

Ok, my time's almost up. I'll try to drop by frequently, but don't read into it if I don't biggrin.gif
