JosephH Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 My job will require me to travel about southern and western AFG a fair bit, like prolly 50% of the time while in country. Travel is primarily by helicopter, chiefly Blackhawks. Ground transport is extremely frowned upon. If there's no other way to get me to a site by helo, then ground transport is undertaken, with me in Level 4 body armor and a Fritz inside an APC in the middle of a military convoy. I'll also be issued a CBRN mask as part of my MOPP. I've been advised to keep the Fritz and the BA handy at all times. Sounds like you've got a bunch of it covered - keep your wits about you, stick close to guys who know what they're doing, and don't defer on things when your gut tells you otherwise. Take care and all the best to you... Quote

No reason we couldn't make it a threesome. At first I was worried about stirring up a jealous catfight. But upon OW's reply, I find myself curiously aroused by the implication... Quote
