Welcome aboard.
Right now I would hate to be in the Middle East.
Good luck with your deployment.

So do you work at a military prison over there? I did exactly three weeks of boots on the ground in Iraq on a tactical exercise. I do not envy you.

I work on a small island called Bahrain as an ATFP officer as well as the occasional security detail. Needless to say, I am not overly fond of this country or its people.

Stopped in Bahrain quite a bit while on station in the Persian Gulf. Hot.
I got to drive a Ferrari around the Bahrain International Circuit. That was an experience.
You Force Protection guys do important work, though. Thanks for your service.

@SteelCurtain: Thank you for yours as well. We servicemembers need to stick together, since a lot of people don't agree with our life choices or what we do on a daily basis.
@Robvalue: Well damn...the only way to secure my identity is to challenge you. Meet me in the ring.
