We brought the best dining facilities with us everywhere we went. 3 squares a day plus midrats. Hot food, every meal.


Deployment on the NATO mission to Kosovo was well fed, and we lived on bases typically. Me and some dudes went to this tower in the middle of nowhere for a week and it ended up being three weeks, just boxed of MRE dropped off instead of relief lol. Assume the Big Red One position *grabs ankles*.

First deployment to Bosnia was a year before that was very different. The best part was trading uniform stuff with Russian and NATO troops we encountered.

We were like three weeks from being deployed to Saudi Arabia...we had even painted our tanks in desert camouflage....then someone with a television was like COME HERE and Clinton was bombing Serbians in Kosovo on live television. Next day in formation "our orders to Saudi Arabia are cancelled. Nothing further at this time".

I'm glad to have the life I have now right now.

What period are you talking about?
Early 1990s?

You right wingers would be throwing shit at walls and screaming like rabid monkeys if Obama let Russia take over an American base.


Some fun factoids, Obama let ISIS take 2300+ Humvees and other military arms and equipment. Also, Iran jammed signals to a top-secret drone near their border causing it to auto-pilot circle and land, after which they seized it.

Personally, I care a lot more about my brothers and sisters in uniform coming home than some abandoned bases, equipment, weapons.

Iraq and Saudi Arabia are a nice stop loss home for those morons.
