almost done, almost home

[havik]

well my time here in Kuwait is getting short. we just did our last convoy mission and i could not be happier.
but this post is about our last mission. and how bad it sucked. to start off it was a training mission so we only had half our team the other half is our replacement's. glad to see em but we would much rather run with our proven guys that already know their jobs. it started off being a short mission then went to a few day mission then back to a short mission. every fob we stayed at the ac cut off just as we were getting to bed. one day it was up to 101* in the tent. try sleeping in 101*.
the best part was my guy that i got to share a truck with. pathological liar. great entertaining lies. like this one.
" i got to ride my friends ninja 10 and at 150 mph all the sudden the nos kicked in. he never told me he had nos"
" i have a friend in the USAF that is a pro fighter. he holds a world belt but i don't know what in"
" (me) my dog weighs 80lbs(him) my dog weighs 180lbs"
my fav was when we were arguing about full size burbans and f350s being able to keep up with yotas and jeeps
" i got a lifted 91 burban with interchangeable Dana 66's front and rear both locked(yep Dana 66's???) to turn my massive 35" tires. its powered by a 468 cu in motor and gets better than 20 mpg."
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i lost it. i had to tell him he was full of and i don't believe him one bit.
but now we are back and about to be going home soon.
i had to share the burban with Dana 66s and 468 that gets better than 20mpg story with yall
enjoy

Just way too funny, I'd drag him in and show him where you hang out on the net and show him what 44's look like on a Yota.

Welcome Home! Hey what are your Pismo plans? Wanna caravan down on Friday with us? I was just in Kuwait on Thursday. It was hot and dusty.. go figure. I was there two whole hours... we hauled the 10,000th MRAP into theatre.. got some pretty good press coverage. We made it there and back from Travis in 4.5 days... 45 hours on a plane in 4 days sucks!! Not nearly as bad as being there for 6 months though

You Air force Myers? I didn't know that. 6months there isnt that bad, try 15

Regardless WELCOME home Havik

15 mo with out my wife and i would go awol. thats too long. the food was the 2nd worst part. i feel for you army guys for sure 15 mo is enough time to not care about any thing. i would be no good after 9 mo.
props to you johnDoe i hope you never have to go back or at least not for another 15 F that

ukm i will see you there for sure. i think friday it is going to be just me and Boss then sat my wife will be meeting up with us. i am down to caravan but i thaught you were up north? we will be coming from south of pismo.
either way i hope to be there 4-5 ish. i dont have to work friday so i might go earlier we will see.
we should park in the same areas if possible. near the back. i am hoping to see mo and his fam again as well.
see you there bro
