Photo And Note From The Gulf

[firehawkordy 34]

This was sent to me via the "Jungle Telegraph",ie;forwarded e-mail, from a friend and shipmate in The gulf.I'm omitting his name but I'll post the body of the letter.

 

I think that all the Sailors here will get a kick out of the photo.

 

Hey Boss,

 

I figured it's been awhile since I've checked in, so here ya' go...

 

Everything over here is going well. We are staying very busy, doing some

really good, succesful missions, so that makes things better.

 

For the most part, things are all working out pretty good. They were

talking about moving the maintenance effort to where we are, but have since

decided to leave them down in the HAS. That's a good thing. After making

the move up here from Kuwait, going through another move was not exactly

what people were looking forward to.

 

Since the DHL bird got hit (it's still out on the side of the runway), mail

is not coming or going. I guess it's one of those things about being stuck

in a war zone or something like that. Everything else is going pretty good.

The Air Farce chow hall has finally opened up for lunch, so that's making

things a little easier. Their chow is just OK. The Army's over on this

side is way better and the Army's on the other side is way, way better.

But, what the heck, at least it's not MREs.

 

The weather is starting to cool down a lot over here. Getting ready to just

get damn cold flying at night. It was 45 degrees when we launched last

night, and there isn't any flying around with doors closed out here. So

far, thermals, gloves and balacalva are doing the trick, but it's not going

to be long 'till it's thermals, sweat bottoms and flight jacket. Big

weather front movig in tonight and they are expecting up to an inch and a

half of rain later tonight through tomorrow. We'll see how this works out,

as far as the tent livin' goes. Might find ourselves ripping everything out

and building a raised floor (unlike the tents down at Salem, when they put

these in, they didn't put down decks.).

 

Hope things are going alright back there. Has the start of the fiscal year

waiting game started?

 

I'm gonna head down to the HAS and get some stuff done with the maintainers.

Please pass my regards to everyone.

 

Take care,

Falcon Six Two,

As far as I know it's not PhotoShopped. What you see is how I recived it,personally I think this what happens with too much time and spray paint. :D

All the photos are raw, ie; no editing or special effects added.

I was told that it the guys dont have much time in the place they check and post their E-mail so I doubt it . I'm sure some one there could verify it. As I said this was sent via the jungle telegraph. :)
