Afghanistan 2001 - Present

Thought that was a Fennek, too much CMSF time I suppose. I served in the 2nd ID, 3rd Brigade, US Army. I was injured before we deployed, probably the largest disappointment ever in my life. However, my unit deployed as part of the surge in Iraq, and suffered heavy casualties from IEDs, ambushes, and the like. There is a decent chance I wouldn't have met my wife, had my wonderful twins, or even be alive at this time.

Yes its a Fennek indeed. When I was stationed overthere all the Yanks drooled when we rolled by and went into combat.

I'm sorry that you did not went to Iraq with your buddies and that they took so much casualties. And you never know what would have happend if you did went.

BOREEL! Yeah I quit the army after Afghanistan. Went to the police.

Mark was a good bloke indeed. :rip:
 
Well I know from my own experience and deployment that I may not ask his unit and base. Although I'm curious.

When is he returing home?

Nothing in my 60 years of existence has scared me worse then this.....and I am not the one thats over there.

If all goes well ( and I refuse to contemplate otherwise ) Dave will be home in 5 months.

Yeah my parents are still scared and always say that of all my deployments the one to Afghanistan was the worst. My mom even complained to me a few days ago that she would hate it if I go on another deployment... Wich would be weird since I left the army 4 years ago and became a police officer.

Interesting..

The vehicles pictured above look like Casspir Mechem mine clearing model made in South Africa.

The red writing on the hull 'Vati Kaki' is Afrikaans and means : (we) dont take shit (from anyone)
