Kris: Friday Night (Saturday morning for you) http://sbkradio.net/ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm central time (I don't have time here at work to convert this for ya. Listening instructions and chat instructions are on the page. D00mz and jdu (Husband and wife) have a funny Internet radio show catered to the "PARTY" crowd.

My son is stationed in Korea and has the gang on base listening. You can also join in the chat - you have to tell them that you are overseas though. They take requests and Service members get their requests moved to the TOP of the music playlist!

A lot of fun for all - even for an old fart like me!! If you get stuck and can't get it to work, IM me and I'll help you, ok?

(note to moderation: This post is NOT in any way an endorcement for SBK - simply a suggestion for entertaining our troops)

edit: oh! and don't forget to vote, huh?

dont forget for the powers that be to kick in your service exclusion.

 

[GirlScout1]

AHHH, Taji. I remeber that place well. Take care there and be safe!

 

[ladywolf]

taji has changed a lot since i was here the last trip. there wasnt hardly anything here the last time, now i'm living in a heated/air conditioned room with one other person, eating 3 good meals a day, running hot and cold water, actualy toilets, etc. . . all in all much better than the last trip. i'm now firmly ensconed in the medevac, and the guys i work with are great.

Well, don't get too complacent! Habib has bombs strapped to his unnies!

Come back safe, ok? Merry Christmas, Kris!

 

[ladywolf]

dont worry, i dont have to work the gates. so no habibi's with bombs strapped to their undershorts for me. however, every once in awhile we do have to go pick one or two up and move em back to the epw camp, or elsewhere. the last time one guy started to take his straps off in the cabin, because of our new medevac birds, we just shifted his litter upwards till he was pinned between the litter and the ceiling. no more moving for him, plus we can keep an eye on him that way *evil grin* i know, we're mean. but, hey, it works.
anyhow, back to the grindstone for me, time to go back to work.

Yeah there's a shocker. A guy I know came up with the perfect way to describe the FOBs over there:
'I went to a Combat Zone and a Garrison broke out'

For all of those who have no idea, you have no idea of how idoitic it can be. Even as far down as MPs using radar guns to give guys tickets for speeding

Sounds almost like home, wait, considering your last trip it might be better. Except for not having your jeep. Be safe over there, and we will have to get together when you come home. In case i don't get to talk to you before then, Merry Christmas.

To do otherwise would encourage lawlessness. In an already unstable environment, some things just need to be taken to an extreme - wouldn't you think? If you were speeding through New Orleans and an MP stops you (from breaking the law), is this any different?

 

[GirlScout1]

Yes, it is very different. Nailing someone for 10mph over a speed limit in a place that is wide open and blows something up every 30 seconds is dumb. Telling someone that they need to have a pressed uniform for a parade formation in Iraq is dumb. Telling someone they cannot give a 'shacka' hand wave to one of their buddies is dumb. Just an example of real dumb rules to deal with. I got lucky and din't have to fall under 98% of those rules. Though I was a 1%er that did.

I spent only about 30% of my time there on a FOB..the rest was spent outside and I was much happier not dealing with the stupidity.

ladyhawk, random kudos to a fellow soldier best wishes. hey you not a tango by chance? if so maybe you see my sorry ass one day hooah

And to think...it was either go to jail or join the Army!

I'm sorry, I guess I thought regulations applied to all military personnel. I wasn't aware that the rules were selective.

 

[ladywolf]

yep, i'm a tango. mebbe you will, ya just never know. i'm lucky though, the medevac still falls under a different division until next month. so we pretty much do whatever we want right now. and yep, its true. there are mp's on our FOB giving speeding tickets. i'm like u gotta be kidding me. the stupidity here has even gone on so far that we cannot hang out with our friends outside our trailerparks (we have lil trailers with 3 rooms, 2 soldiers a piece) and it looks like one huge trailer park. its because our chain of command is afraid back things might happen. i'm sorry, people are going to do bad things no matter what the chain of command says. oh well. well, merry christmas everyone, talk to yall again soon.

Stay Safe Kris, and try not to speed.

Stay Safe Kris, and try not to speed.

And if you do, make sure your power steering works.
