Leaving... on a jet plane.

/sigh I realllly dont want to go over there. :/ Its not that its dagerous or antyhing, but i dont want to be in he Midlde east :/ nothing to do except wait to go home and i doubt they ahve good food there :/
 
Thanks Honcho. And yes, I'm still fine.

Depending on where specifically you're going, Chpal, the food isn't as bad as you would think. But again, it depends. Just don't eat anything from street vendors (as I'm sure your deployment briefers have told you). Montezuma's revenge ain't nothing on what this stuff can do to you.

I will say this - the yogurt they produce in this corner of the world beats the pants off of anything you can get in the states. It's almost like ice cream. Probably bad for me, but meh.
 
have fun. watch out for camel spiders.
 
Celv there is a way to tone down the Brightness




Just bring up your HUD go into the options menu, select Video Options , Then click the brightness or Gamma option and set it to like 5

Then *abracadabra* its like your wearing sunglasses :P
 
Stay safe! i dont know you but stay safe i have the upmost respect for our soldiers over there, and im leaving in two months for USAF boot camp, so good luck :)
 
No camel spiders yet (thankfully).

Claud - unfortunately I don't come with a HUD. That would be cool though :D

Nov: good luck at boot camp. Just remember, it only sucks for 11 weeks, then you're done. Also, I guarantee you won't be the only MMORPG player there. I overheard a huge WoW conversation between some techs while I was working the other day. Funniest part was, one of the participants was a Master Sergeant (meaning he was about twice my age).
 
why you guys fear camel spiders anyway .... its normal thing here
 
camelspider.jpg

From someone stationed in Baghdad. He was recently bitten by a camel spider which was hiding in his sleeping bag. I thought you'd like to see what a camel spider looks like. It'll give you a better idea of what our troops are dealing with. Enclosed is a picture of his friend holding up two spiders. Warning: not for the squeamish!

This picture is a perfect example of why you don't want to go to the desert. These are 2 of the biggest I've ever seen. With a vertical leap that would make a pro basketball player weep with envy (they have to be able to jump up on to a camels stomach after all), they latch on and inject you with a local anesthesia so you can't feel it feeding on you. They eat flesh, not just suck out your juices like a normal spider. I'm gonna be having night mares after seeing this photo!

thats why Dayner <,< and gl Celv, check your boots man
 
Technically they fall under the category of crustacean (or so I've heard) because they're so big. Either way, if I see one, it's getting smooshed with a size 11 1/2 boot very, very quickly.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that, but you don't use the standard system Cleo.

I just hope you're safe over there Celv. You have even more of my respect seeing those ugly ass spider things.
 
Celv Im sorry I didn't see this thread until today. Well when you get back hopefully ill be in OK. Hope you have some fun up there and eventually ill be in the back end sometime real soon. Stay safe. Laters

/salute
 
my feet are 9, so 11.5 are huge :(

then again my brothers friend Pickle is 6'8 and has like size 17 shoes i think, both my feet can fit in one of his shoes O.O

and dunno if you already said, cant remember but when you comming back?
 
No problem Kal - depending on what squadron you're going to, you may be over here sooner than you think. Hope you're mobility bags are ready =P

Solan - I'll be back sometime around September.

Also, I'm 5'10 and last I checked 11.5" feet were proportional. You some kind of giant, Sharpe? lol
