OMG, that 'telephone' song is standable now.

I 100 percent totally and completely understand. Many long deployments here. Back in 2004 like 10 of us for some reason did the entire thriller dance scene at a deserted airfield we were stuck at at 2:00 in the morning. The wierdest part was, we were completely sober and there was no video camera around.

Another time a few buddies and I hitched a ride back to our 'FFFOL' from our 'FFFFFFFFFFFOL' (another joke only someone deployed could understand) on a tanker. It was the most boring flight crew I've ever been around, all three of them. We got diverted and offloaded gas for just about ever. The relief tanker broke, and we joined with them and took their gas. It was a LONG flight. Eventually, we acted out the entirety of snakes on a plane while the flight crew eyed us with annoyance.

It's true TEASEA some crazy things go on when you are deployed...it's amazing what you think up to do to pass the time when things are slow! The worst part of combat deployment is too much time on your hands. Great stuff. Like Panther I really like the USN Sundowner stuff a lot.

As do I....almost professional quality...

Navy has an advantage though, being on a fixed platform you can have that kind of equipment to do that sort of stuff.

Camel decomposition....that became a reportable item once in our updates to the commander.

Seems this camel had a negative experience with a suburban out in the Kuwaiti desert. One of our routes took us past him every day.

So we began to report on his state of decomposition. Built a nice powerpoint, charted the smell, the size of the bloating.....

Goodness we were bored.

God bless you guys......I have never been deployed as I was in the Army in the mid 70's. Reforger 76 was the most fun we had....mud,lots and lots of mud.You see we were tankers in Germany,the land of mud.

4 guys living in an M60A1 with 300 cu feet of space total and so much mud we hardly ever got off the vehicle.We stayed overnight places that wheeled vehicles couldn't get to even in 4 or 10 wheel drive.

As an official old fart I miss this more then you could know.:d

(did I mention the mud?)

Oh, I loved REFORGER.....

I participated in 3 and at different times I was an umpire and a player. I loved them all.

Running M1 Tanks down A-3 and A-7. Tearing up the countryside. living in Mud...

Oh yes, you mentioned the mud.....

I was Navy. When we deployed there was no mud unless we were gutter crawling on liberty.

I hated mud. Made it easy to throw the tracks off.

Fortunately never happened to me.
