Reminds me of where I was stationed in Iraq. There was so much brass that a full colonel had nothing better to do than do seatbelt checks on passing vehicles. One day, I saw one of our LTs trudging back from the "pleasure dome", the nickname for the ops center. As I passed, I snapped my best parade salute. He was so thrilled that someone had saluted him, he actually thanked me.

What is there disagree about my post? Are you disagreeing that I was a 60 CE?

I just checked my conversations, it was with Njaco, I rated his hand wave as "bad spelling"Ah good point...

Viewing on a "kindle" the ratings occupy about a third of the screen width on the right hand side, as a right hander it is very easy to catch and it has scrolled off before you notice.Someone rated one of mine as bad spelling as well yesterday. I could not figure out why, but your explanation above makes sense.
Negatory, man, I honor your service. I served too. Fat finger and small screen, probably stroked a little too heavy while scrolling. My apologies. Glad I was out of flying before "Atari stick" fly-by-wire took over. With my heavy hands, I would have been all over the sky.What is there disagree about my post?

2003-2004 - Landed in Kuwait 21 April 2003, moved out to some nameless base camp a few days later. (The night some clown fragged his leaders over in the 101st.) Back in Camp Doha the night the sea skimmer hit (almost) the mall. Back to base camp until the 513th MI Bde pulled out. Then cooled my heels in Camp Doha until sent north to do doc exploitation with ISG until 29 Feb 2004 (Leap Day!) Back home around mid-March.When and where were you in Iraq?

357 days boots on ground.
Spent 14 months (2 in Kuwait, 12 in Iraq) for OIF 2. Was based out of Speicher in Tikrit, but flew pretty much all over the damn country. Almost daily to Baghdad, Kirkuk, Balad, Mosul, Najaf, etc.
Thank you for your service.
