Are you or have you ever been in the Armed Forces?

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Not really, I was concentrating on not getting shot down. I have flown quite a bit of hot chicks while in the army. The best being the Cincinnati Bengals cheerleaders, they were great. I have a picture somewhere (as a matter of fact I posted it somewhere alrady here in this forum) and I will post it again.

Bloody hell! sounds like I joined the wrong army!!

ps If you hang around for a few more minutes I'll get a photo of me and put it here.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No your army is just fine. My army has to do things like this to keep us from going crazy because they send us away for so long.

I've got a question for you, Did you ever stop off in Bahrain? I've got fond memories of the US base there, as I had one of the best nights of my life at the "Desert dome" Needless to say I had a huge headache in the morning!

No that I never did. We left Germany and flew straight to Kuwait. About a month later we flew across the burm into Iraq and speant a year there. We were allowed to go to Quatar for 4 days of rest and relaxation and kick back a few beers. When I went on my 2 weeks of R&R back to Germany, I flew down to Kuwait again and into Germany and back the same way. And when we left Iraq did the same thing.

I do have a friend who is in the US Navy and he was stationed out of a base in Bahrain for 2 years. He completely enjoyed it.

I only got to spend about a half day and an evening in Bahrain. It was just a fuelling and resupply stop for us before heading off to...somewhere.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to experience much, but it seemed like a nice place. We weren't allowed to stray too far.

My friend says that Bahrain is not the typical middle eastern nation.

Very cool -thanks! We flew P-3s, as a matter of fact I actually buit some of the ones in my squadron back in the early 1980s, way before I went into the reserves. Talking about your past coming back to haunt you!
