Looks like I am heading to Kabul. The word is Camp Phoenix right now but things always change.

Kabul is not so bad - just keep your head down. I was a Bosnia babe myself for a while...

Hey Sheena...glad you've been diving more...your hair shows signs of being lighter...must be the sun!

BTW...Bosnia Babe is very cool!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone here - both my brothers and sisters in arms for fighting the good fight and to everyone else supporting us. Its nice to know there are people who understand you can still support your soldiers no matter how you feel about their actions.

I've been to Iraq once already and heading to Afghanistan next. Until then...

DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!

My sentiments exactly, I don'tthink we can thank our uniformed troops over there enough.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and a newly certified diver. I'm not new to the military though, I've been in the USAF for almost 20 years now (August 27th will be 20 yrs.) Nice to see so many other military memers here!

Thanks for the welcome, I'm at Keesler AFB in MS. The diving over this way doesn't appear to be that great, but I have gone over to Destin. Dove at the jetties there and then on a wreck.

Hello every one!

I've never been to Keesler, but I was in Destin three times this past summer (I was at Eglin - horrible place to go TDY huh?). I had plans to drive over to Pensacola to dive the Oriskany but the weather didn't cooperate and I didn't get to go. Ah well, hopefully there will be other trips down that way.

By the way, I'm currently stationed at McGuire AFB here in Jersey.

Hello everyone,

I am new to SD and am in the Air Force Reserves as an Aeromedical Technician. I am currently serving on active duty at Travis AFB, CA flying back injured solders.

To all those serving overseas, thanks!!! I am proud to serve my country but to see the dedication, honor and patriotism of the injured solders, airman, sailors and marines coming home, brings a tear to my eye.

the PJ's motto says it all "that others may live" that is why I serve.

happy diving to all and be safe.

John

p.s. i will be diving in south FL 2/16-3/4. Anyone wants to meet up for some dives, please let me know.

My brother is home for 2 weeks from a year in Afganistan and then goes back to Iraq for a year. We missed him.
I'm sure you all are missed very much. Thanks and God speed!
