They should shut down AAFES anyways. Hasn't been a "benefit" in years. Hand the Shoppettes over to DeCA.

Not in the Middle East they didn't. TV and Radio sucks over there, I know this firsthand, I've run a radio station there a decade ago. It's terrible.




You don't OSN bro?

I get every game on Fox and ESPN in the Middle East as well as lots of radio.

Look, pal....I enjoy buying surplus cologne that's been in a Macy's warehouse for 2 years and then shipped to the PX so I can buy it for $5 cheaper. That's a benefit if I ever saw one!

And 4 year old Nautica clothing is the bomb. If you can't get laid with that stuff, then it's just not happening.

Just noticed your location. I was at Casey in 99-00 and spent time at CRC every now and then. Can't say I miss it.

Where's that POG former CSA from about 5 years ago - the one with like 700 MSMs and barely one combat tour - he won't tolerate that nonsense. And by God, those sideburns better be tight too! You can't be a leader with sideburns. Everybody knows that.

And when I was there the policy was that everyone had to wear one of those big orange road guard vests.

This is my second time at Red Cloud. First one was a 15 month tour between 2001-2002.

Are there still 4 huge chicks on base that get out of a Ford Escort and the Ford Escort rises a foot?

Px I guess have not changed since the 80’s I wonder if they still got Girbaud jeans, parachute pants, and k Swiss shoes?

Jesus Christ. How do you guys survive at all. I’ve been denied entry into dining facilities for not having a pt belt on.
