Rattler Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Here's some recent pics of my brother in Afghanistan...what a desolate place.... Derek's the one in the middle. [attachthumb=1] [attachthumb=2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Good to know he's doing alright. I got scared for a second there. I saw that beer bellied guy sporting the shorts in the background & thought I might have done some sleep traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is he the one with the crew cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is it just me, or does that "port-a-potty" look a little exposed? Sandbags all around, with the throne way in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 The whole camp is over 1 km square....the Taliban "snipe" with recoiless rifles.....little worry about a 'regular' sniper. I'm also assuming that the shitter will be moved soon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I wish I knew why the F I can't see any of this stuff. I don't even see any thumbnails or anything. Truly bizarre. I assume they are equipped with standard M-16A2s? Does the Canadian army still use the Browning P-35 as its sidearm? I'm kinda behind the times I think.

Rifle is a modified C7A1 (Canada built M16A2, with full auto; no three round burst crap - we know how to limit our fire!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted May 28, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 ~S~ Pete M8, Glad to see him looking well ! How often do you hear from him ? ~S~ Painless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I just got on Facebook, and he's on there regularly when he's in camp. I chat with him daily now, when our time zones are in synch. He's off on leave in a few days, going to Thailand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Cool. I used to own several weapons from both world wars, some very well used, and they still worked fine. I'd take on any modern handgun with my old P-35 Browning if I had to. I knew an FCPD sgt that carried a Belgian Browning made during the occupation wiht nazi proofs on it. Still worked great. It's absurd the US Army thinks they have to put a burst limiter on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Looks like a crap place for a night out Pete. He's going to need that holiday. Apart from the obvious dangers, I'll bet its quite a thing to be out there, with your well trained, well equiped mates. Good on him and his buddies.
