Plus it is as boring as watching the city bus go by. But I can't complain about the tax free SSgt pay.

I'm just south of you at Camp Victory near BIAP. And i'll tell you, this is the BUTTHOLE of all places you can be sent TDY in the Air Force. An army base at that. My wife's at Balad right now though. Where do you work? She works door guard at the Command Post.

Re: Anybody in Balad right now?

Hey ya'll I have a question for ya. When I was deployed we had internet access and all that jazz only in 1 tent and there was a time limit. My boy is on his way over now and he said that they have satelite internet and **** you can get for your c-huts and stuff. Anyone know anything about that? I think he's headed to bahgdad. Not positive? anyone got any input? That would be cool as hell if he could talk to me on here.

Re: Anybody in Balad right now?

What is your wife's name? If she is an A1C, I think I met her. I got caught in Alarm Red on the way to work and put all my gear on and hauled *** to the AEW building, which I think is the Command Post and we were there for like 30-45 min. In balad right now, in tent city they have Internet Cafe which has like 15 computers with Internet access, and a phone tent with like 15 phones. At our cite, the ACS site, we have a rec tent, with like 6 computers with internet access, and big screen TV, all of our work areas are connected to the domain here which all computers have internet access and we control the movie channel here in the COMM tent for the whole ACS site. We got here in Sept. and pretty soon they are moving us from tents that have 8 people, to trailers which will have 1 SNCO, or 2 NCO, or 4 AMN. Not that bad here, can't say anything about Baghdad, Talil, or Kirkuk.

I'm at Victory as well, been here 10 months now, only a couple to go. Noticed you're from Ft. Walton, guessing you're out of Eglin. I'm from Crestview, I'll be moving back there in March, permanantly (on a new GSXR)

Re: Anybody in Balad right now?

Hey guys, be glad you for where your at. If you want to talk about the butthole of Iraq, thiere are tons of place. Im stuck at the Abu Ghraib prison and it suxs. I love going up to Balad. Used to go swimming when I was there. So when is everyone getting out of Iraq? I should be home in Feb if all goes well and they don't stick us on MSR patrol after our mission is done. Stay safe guys!

Try having your orders having originally say 9months... then when it's time to go home, have it extended for 9 more months... Now try and tell me thats not an a$$ F***. Well, thats what being a 31B is all about...
