Well Ron, Marines bitch about "stuff" too, but in the longer run, it only makes ya feel good for awhile...don't mean nuthin...overall...!
I mention the Cold/Hot/Dust/Sand/Mud/Frozen Mud merely to let folks know what it's like over here. From 130+ in the shade in the summer to down into the 20s in winter...dust/sand is everywhere except when it rains...then...a quagmire but NO dust...everything is a tradoff!
As I've said numerous times before, this is THE BEST LIVING I've ever experienced in a combat zone and especially at an operational combat base that is NO REAR AREA such as we knew in Vietnam...Kandahar Airfield Combat Base is "forward deployed" and in amongst one of the hottest combat environments in The 'Stan...but again...ain't no complaints from this ol' Jarhead...!
Arrow:
THanks for your kind comments and continuing support of our Troops.
Semper Fi from the Cooooooold & Windy (and now kinda dusty again) Sands of Kandahar,
Lobo
