Some pics of a trip to Boston my family took this last fall.
My Brother, Father and I. Standing in front of the USS Constitution.

I'm at a flak gun

Saw the mop, started swabbing(sp) the deck.

Boston rocks.

Finally rounded up some pics. Here's me and the family and a couple of old pics of me in Iraq. And that white stuff in the tent are styrafoam sheets. Our feeble attempt to keep the heat out.

Here are some pics that some may have already seen and some of you who have been there can testify that this is for real.

LOL
Close! It does take its toll on vehicle and aircraft engines and also helicopter rotor blades. After the storm you have to scoop out all the sand that settles in the engines then wash them out. Most of the sand is very fine, like talcum, not the beach sand. The beach type sand stings when it hits bare skin, but the talcum stuff is a killer on the lungs. Even the 6X vehicles and track vehicles can get stuck if they're not careful. Don't mean to gross you out, but can you imagine blowing your nose after a storm like that? Tents don't offer any protection from the dust. Very difficult to sleep. When the storm is all over, everyone looks like sugar cookies!!! :hilarious And the stories are true that you can get lost just going to the bathroom! GPS is a must.
Can't speak for other service members, but this hobby helps take my mind off the job and, for me, it's something the family can enjoy together. It also brings all the color back to my vision! I can't describe just how bland the middle east is. Even in the cities.
And truly appreciate all your support!!!
Thanks!

Hey 1knight164 that was in Kuwait right? Good stuff! I agree with you on the bland-ness of the Middle East. I took DeMartini pic’s of her Nano and used them for the skins of my Xbox dashboard its soo refreshing, I had to make a screen saver too.
Thank you guys and galls for all your support it really helps. Even though us Air Force guys have it easy compared to the other branches, were the spoiled ones but I don’t mind.
here are some shots of Bahgdad, the Victory over america palace and Sadams concubine Palace.... enjoy
