Website of the day: 'I love Bagram'




A great list of
reasons to love the dusty airbase north of Kabul. This sort of thing used to be
graffiti on latrine walls, but now it is on line, which makes it easier to
read, and far less odorous.



Some of my faves:




23.
XXXL Air Force PT shirts

62.
The never ending upper respitory infection.

466.
Sticking it to the man by taking more than 2 drinks from the DFAC.

65.
The contractors with their beards who think they are part of the Special Ops
community.

302.
Soldiers that weigh 250 pounds and complain about fat contractors.

524.
My co-worker who insists I yell 'Fatality' when I kill mice that infiltrate our
tent.

78.
Finding out the number one place people go to secretly have sex is the
dumpster.

231.
Contractors who complain how rough their lives are on
"ilovebagram.com."

554.
The look on field grade officers faces when you great them with a crisp salute
and the daily greeting of "Sniper check!"

36.
This website

132.
Because ilovebagram.com is blocked on
work computers.

424.
So you say the Russians abandoned this base. I wonder why?
