Fun in the sun..........in Kuwait :D

[Hemlock86]

Hi everyone!

I just got to Ali Al Salem Airbase in Kuwait a few days ago. This is cool that they have the net here. Its freakin hot here though, 120f during the day and about 90f at night.

I cant wait to get home and order my Retro and intelliframe! To bad the Middle-east doesnt have paintball. hehe :)

Gotta go
peace
Ed

my buddy rob just got back from a year in egypt. he was 6 miles out of gaza. his base was locked down tight most of the time he was there. it was weird seeing the pictures he sent back of the beach all fenced in with barbed and concertina wire.
he is a sargent 1st class and a physical therapist. he was rehabing wounded and in his spare time he was doing alot of mine demo while he was there, findind and desposing of mines and such. he sent back some cool pictures of detonating piles of collected mines, caps and stuff.
good luck and come home soon!

[wingman898]

I'll kill you Eddie.

You can't check your hotmail there either.....hmmmm....I thought that they would make exceptions due to the fact that you are halfway across the globe.

[Army]

Hemlock! Hooah baby!

Watch out for them dang camel spiders out there:)

Good to see you are alive and well, take care of yourself bro!

When you get back, get a Level 10 for yor ReTro, it freakin' ROCKS!

Army, out

[obsolete898]

I'll kill you Wingman.

Ed don't take no poo from those TCN's.

And hey...

[wingman898]

Hooah would be appropriate, If i was in a completely different military outfit. ;)

Just stating what is painfully obvious to some, yet, not to others.

[Hemlock86]

Hydroycut is $25 a bottle here! I feel like Im on crack!
Muhahahahahah

Matt and Alex, check on Tiff, she emailed me saying someone tryed to break into the apartment....please

Eddie K.

[wingman898]

They also have certain curse that will not be mentioned.:p

[wingman898]

Unfortunately, I have no response for that.

:mad:

[obsolete898]

Damn you, you know you can think of something. I thought this might go back and forht for a little while.

You could at least post something like this.

[Hemlock86]

If I stop in Ireland again, Ill get a few pints of Beamish Red and pour them into a tupper-wear container for you guys, LOL!

Anyway, Freaking Email me!

Edward.Kolesar@Salem.af.mil

peace!!!!!!!!!

[Hemlock86]

Welcome :D

[Vex]

Sounds like fun, Hemlock. We get to go to Seeb, Oman--in fact, we just got back from there, but it looks as if we'll be back around the holidays... At least there's a 3 beer a day limit, which is better than none, like at PSAB or Kuwait. Stay cool and have fun. Remember not to tease the TCNs, it's cruel...

(BTW, camel spiders aren't poisonous, contrary to popular belief)

Hey obsolete, what's up? Long time, no talk.

Later dudes.

[Hemlock86]

3 beers a day would be nice buts not that big of a deal. It just makes it easier for me to get drunk when I get back home. I normally dont mess with the TCN's but I have friends who do. Its kinda funny cause most of them just joke back with you. I just dont the ones who ask you, "You same-same?" hahah Thats asking if yuor gay...arrrrrrrr!

And I know camel spiders arent poisonous, but they are strong enough to bite a pencil in half. Thats good enough to take a chunk of flesh out of ya.

Obsolete and Wingman, want some cubans? hehehe, let me know :D

peace
Ed

[obsolete898]

Cuban's, what are you talking (yes) about?;).

[wingman898]

^^^:confused:

I may be losing my Bostonian edge here people, but was that meant to be funny? :rolleyes:

[cris8762]

pardon my stupid question..(i'm 15, stupid questions come with the territory ;) ) but what is a TCN?

Your not stupid, it's a military thing. It's a third counrty national. Basically our bases in Kuwait and Saudi need people to do poop work, so they get people from other countries to do the work, i.e. Indians and Pakistanis. This is because true Saudi's and Kuwait's don't work.

Hey deek(wingman) it was a joke on the fact that they are illegal in this country. I wouldn't want to incrimenate myself. Do I have to spell everything out for you? Sorry I forgot my crayons.:(

Also what would your "Bostonian edge" have to do with you not getting a joke. Especially since you lived closer to Providence.

[Hemlock86]

None for you for being stupid and not emailing me! (wingman)

muhahahahah

Edward.kolesar@salem.af.mil

[obsolete898]

A certain guy is getting a swift kick to the jimmy!

[wingman898]

Woa woa woa i am irish what is this curse!!!!

[obsolete898]

Sounds more like a brown recluse(sp) who injects a toxin that numbs and rots the flesh. Yes, I said rots,:eek: as in a big nasty open sore.

At any rate I do think that would be the one that got your friend. A camel spider is like friggn badger.




Woa woa woa i am irish what is this curse!!!!

Well I'll tell ya one thing. It's about your best friend.

[dansim]

nope camel spiders eat the flesh and yes it is, brown recluses were quite comon in ft drum ny though those and black widows we had a lt get bit 7 times in one field problem we called him spiderman, oh and i know it was a camel spider cause i said dude you have aspider on your leg( we was tannin up in the remote site) and it was as big as my wallet, during eib they would catch camel spiders and have em fight each other and scorpions too...

[obsolete898]

You know what I saw "eat the flesh" and I was thinking eating it away(rot) not physically chowing down. Sorry bout the mistake.:D

[dansim]

lol its ok naw it was actually chewin on him he had to get a stick to whack him off, on another note the camp champion's camel spider had only 5 legs he was very very angry about it too(the spider not the owner)

[Hemlock86]

Heres a camel spider, arent they cute?!?!

[cris8762]

*shudder*:eek: :eek: * gets aired up stingray and ball bearings* I HATE SPIDERS! ugh......i'm gonna have nightmares now.thanks guys:p :( :D

[obsolete898]

He's so cute.:p

[dansim]

and there BIG too

[Aranarth]

Know, kind of makes me glad that the navy goes places occassionally, but doesn't make you live there.
Hope you have fun overseas.
-AranarthX

[Hemlock86]

Aranarth,

Its not that bad. Im only on a 45 day TDY and the base sint that bad for being tent city. Its just the 115-125 degrees temps that suck. This is my first TDY since Ive been in the USAF(5 years in), so its a nice break from the norm. And its not like camel spiders are infested everywhere like roaches. Ive been here almost 3 weeks and I havent seen one yet. Plus I can say I served in Kuwait 35 miles away from Iraq, not many people can.
They do play alot of British tv stations over here though. Im starting to like soccer :eek: hehehe. Manchester United is a fun to watch team. They seem to kick everyones butt.

anyways, peace
Ed

[obsolete898]

This is my first TDY since Ive been in the USAF(5 years in),

Good old 898Muns. No medals and no TDY's. In less than a year you'll be at KB, so there is a bright light at then end of the tunnel.

[Hemlock86]

Hahahahahaahhaa
this makes me laugh :D

[obsolete898]

His turban is caught under the belt.:p I wonder what the writing says?
