Oh yeah, I'm doing the EFI thing.  Just gotta decide on which company's to use, but that's still a ways off, I'll have to build the engine first

Things aren't that f'd up, I'm just starting to sleep normal hours again!
This is our second deployment, so getting back to the married life shouldn't be that hard, I hope so far so good.   LOL.
Beers are definately on...

Welcome back bud. I got told I'm not getting to go to afghanistan a couple weeks ago.. Kinda shitty I was looking forward to it. Oh well..

At least my police application is starting to look promising right now....

Any clue who your going to go with for efi?

[doctorpimp]

Thanks.
That's too bad about not going, but on the other hand, who really wants to go to that shithole...
That's cool about the police, which service did you apply for?  Peel?  Stick with the plan.

I'm still not sure about the EFI.  I know that's the way I'm going, but when...
I'm pretty sure on the Momar EFI.  We'll see.

hemi68charger:
I was there for 6 mos.  I first started out in Kabul and moved down to Kandahar with the Canadian contingent in Dec.
Thanks alot.

Glad you made it back safe Paul.  I'm here in the middle of Bagram, flying my arse off for OCF Grey.

Duey has tried at least THREE times to get together with me, but we just can't seem to connect just yet.  He's gotten as close as the gate, but I'm still holding out hope that I can shake that Canuck's hand and bring out my laptop, to show pics of my family- including the Charger.

This scenery here is truely beautiful, with all the mountains that surround us...too bad were up to our arses in "Injun Country" over here.

For all that are still here, keep us- and our families, in your prayers!

ALWAYS.

It is quite breathtaking seeing all the mountains etc.  I never made it up to Bagram, but I heard that there's areas that are tree'd and there's lakes and rivers there.

This is on top of TV hill in lovely downtown Kabul it was a very smoggy, dusty day:

[CFMopar]

Ya trying for peel... Things look good now. My recuriter this time around likes army guys so will see how it goes...

[Duey]

Paul, that's a nice shot...I have one somewhere to from on top TV hill too, but it's not as cool looking as you siting on the ARV! 

Bradley, yup...not for lack of trying.  I think I've met almost everyone at BAF but you! LOL    I'll be up at least a few more times over the next few weeks, Wednesday may be a go, and Friday for sure this week, then I'm out of "town" for a bit then I'll be back up.  We'll try and get the Dodgecharger.com crowd in Baghram pic taken if it's the last thing we do...   I'd love to see pics of your little girl and the steel beast too!

Chuck, Peel's a good crowd!  Lots of guys there that I used to fly in another life, god guys all around and a good Force!

Cheers,
Duey

[Afflyer]

Man...wouldn't that be so COOOOOOL to get all the DC guys here in "hell's half acre" for a picture to post to the site!

Don't give up on me Duey- we'll meet for sure!

Bradley, don't worry...I'm up tomorrow p.m. and Friday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, then off to KAF for a bit then I'll be back up again.  You have my cell #, so you can give that a try tomorrow around 0900-1000z and see where I'm at, or PM me a DSN that I can call you at when I know exact timings.

If that doesn't work, I'll just have to come visit you in Florida when we're both back...I'm taking over a flight at the SOAS this summer and have plenty of reason to come down to your neck of the woods!

I'm pretty good with our acronyms but I don't know that one...
You're not coming to Pet anymore?

[Duey]

Paul, SOAS = Special Operations Aviation Squadron.  427 SOAS now falls directly under operational command of Commander CANSOFCOM, as it should be!    We will no longer answer to the Chief of the Air Staff.

Yup, I'm still coming up to your home town, bro! (well...during the week anyway, family staying in K-town)

Cheers,
Duey

[doctorpimp]

AH Tan Beret style...I thought so, but I was trying to figure out the code
I applied for that as well (CSOR), but due to operational blah-blah-blah 2ASG troops aren't allowed this year.
I'm being put into an OPs job for my Coy in SVC Bn; it's one step closer to my third hook, but not as cool.

[Duey]

I wouldn't worry...that will give them time to shake out all the stand-up issues!  Then you're good to go!

[doctorpimp]

HOOAH
