Bombed in Bagram

**Locard** · 06-13-2006, 12:48 AM

Yesterday, I flew out of Bagram to go provide security for some high profile military throughout Afghanistan, it was about a 14 hour day w/ 5 landings/take-offs...needless to say, I arrived back at Bagram/2330L (1130 p.m.

) extremly tired, and my guard worn down.

Stepping back into my hut, I wandared to my room, dropped my bags and noticed an unexpected package sitting on my cot. I stared at it hesitantly for a minute, and then cautiously poked the corners with my knife (luckily I still had my kevlar vest on

).
And BOOOOOOM

, I was blown away, foam peanuts were everywhere, and lying in the wake was a very very generous 4th July gift from Mauied1101.

Paul you have outdone yourself, I have wanted to sample several of those that were included in the package for a while...Thanks so much, and you had better look out

1101, smooth move! Good play...

Glad you got it so quick, glad you like it.

Happy 4th!

Hey 1101, just wondering when you put that in the mail?

Locard, those damn "Bombed in Bagrad" titles are hard on some people's hearts! Glad you're safe and well in the desert!

Wow, I sent cigars to my buddy in North Iraq and it took 3 weeks! Thank god for otter boxes and crystals. I'm getting ready to send another package, this one is Gatorade powder and hot sauce. I hear its hot over there and the food is bland

. I'm working on another package for him and any improvement over 3 weeks would be greatly appreciated. How did you send it Paul?

Uh... USPS Priority. APO address... I dunno, my experiences with the ME have been about a week, no more than 1.5 weeks.
