some of us take for granted how much freedom we really do have in this great country. thank you men and women in the services for all that you do.
 
Here's a few pics of my second addiction. Saving the one's in my tank makes me feel less guilty about the ones I catch and eat.
Oh and the wahoo in that pic was a $3k fish. SCORE!

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
Hey JJ,
These were actually taken at Al Asad airbase in Iraq but happens everywhere in the middle east including Kuwait. Here's one link:

When you say Kuwait, are you talking about Ali Al Salem or Camp Commando? It's amazing just how vibrant colors are when you return. We stopped in Ireland of all places and the green was sooo green, almost blinding. First colors we saw when we left. Anyway, great idea using DiMartini's nano. And we couldn't do it without the Air Force!!! Still don't know how those C-5's get off the ground. Flown in them many times.

Why is that funny?
If you are trying to say that I am hitting on someone over the internet, you got things messed up.
I am a married man. When I see other people from Texas, I ask what part they are from. Saltwater addicts are almost non-existent in my area.

My dad did 20 as a corpsman. Thought I was an idiot for joining the Marine Corps at 120 lbs. Thought for sure i'd die in boot camp. I told him the smaller I am, the harder it would be for the bad guys to shoot me. Anyway, thanks for your service!!!

My oldest daughter is Air Force, headed for Texas next summer for MI training. ROTC, spoiled, but hard-working. You have to earn it, as I'm sure the truth is JJ!
Each one of you who serve, or have served, this country in any branch of the military are indeed heroes.

I guess you couldn't blame the guy if he was hitting on her...I mean look at the pic. But it is really not fair to assume he was.

Back to the guys and their shots of Husseins palaces...I wish I could find the pics I had/have. I got pics of me, holding his 24K gold AK-47's, sitting in his gold throwns, etc. We (my EOD team) actually got a pic of a guy taking a poo in Husseins 24K gold toilet). We then planted small charges in the same toilet and blasted American poo all over his bathroom walls.
Ahhhhh...the good old days.

I was there in 2003 for the initial attack into Iraq. (We had Ollie North embedded with us) Could not believe you all had a swimming pool of all things!!! And Haggen Daz ice cream bars!!!
When we went to eat in your chowhall, we actually asked "How much for the Haggen Daz?" and went into shock when they said it was free!!! You guys do now how to live. I do apologize, though, because the Marines did destroy your paradise there. Nature of the beast. Great base though! Hey, you never know. We may cross paths someday. Take care, JJ.
