Only four months? And with advance notice? Dang, the USAF is pretty soft...
Sorry, had to dig at the Air Force - but tooooo long a story why, just think that they weren't there when they said they would be and my team needed 'em.
All that aside - you take care out there. A good friend of mine is there right now, probably the same facility you're talking about. She's doing fine, but likes having her M-4 handy. For a Navy Corpsman she can handle the weapons fine, too - Hippocrates be damned, he didn't have to deal with Islamofacists - they were a few hundred years later! | |

Can't blame you for your feelings if they let you down....either for real OR perceived.....and I can't control it and can't change the past, so there it is! 
I plan on keeping my head down.....sounds like we have been there long enough that medical is moving into more fixed facilities.... that will make it a bit safer, but have heard that they still catch rockets and morters every day. I am just glad that I am not on vehicle convoy support..... I am going to the range for m16 and m9 training...not sure if I will really get to carry either one over there.....have to wait and see. Hope I get to....I was in Storm with the Army..... carried fully loaded m16 for 6 months....won't know how to act in hostile AOR without ammo and a pea shooter! | |
