Yup and then Taji got hit again........with more rockets.
Shit is starting to get real again over here. Between this, corona virus and the Iraq Government not having a PM its gonna be a fun summer....

Meh...its spring time here. I didn’t see any dust storms....but it did rain almost all day yesterday. 
Today was cloudy, but it cleared off.

Now I have seen dust storms like that, but usually they hit in the early summer.  The worse one I was in lasted 3 days, first day was all wind and blowing sand. Then it took 2 more days for it to all settle down again.
Looks like the surface of Mars, everything is tinted red.  Really eerie

So if you end up going full Coronabola zombie they take your weapon and put you outside the perimeter with a "thank you for your service?"

Noice.

Never go full zombie.

-p

Shit I wish I had a weapon....I am not one of those type of contractors. 
I just get to sit in the airplane and turn shit off and on

Had a meeting at work today and went through the whole emergency plan for the site:
Big things to take from it where:
How many folks can we have sick and still do the mission
These are the quarantine rooms
Military has almost come out and said  if it hits here you are on your own or so low on the list.
Also be prepared to stay here past your end of tour date

Fun times...fun times
Oh also had to designate who will take over for me if I get sick..oh and who will take over for them

Whelp...both Walt Disney World and Disneyland are closing.....
At the Erbil Airport they are scanning folks who are coming in and asking some “ Have you just come from Iran”
I got 40 days until I leave....hopefully everything is good to go, if not guess I will stay where I am at and make some more money.

George bitches about impostors in cat heads mask. George says he got eye glasses which Kathy wont like them because of the color. The lady at the eye glass store said they will cost $99. George says he is looking forward to being able to see, but is slightly worried he might break his glasses. Senda says he is tired and sore due to cleaning. George is taking a break from cleaning, and is going to buy food tomorrow. George curses that he does not have paper towel.

Holy shit..I take like 2 years or so off...and Senda is still having problems with his glasses.
Didn’t Noory buy him a pair a couple years ago?

Whelp, glad I don’t have to travel home for another 2 months....but the company is taking this a little more seriously then before.
They are buy a shit ton of masks and shipping them to our first RON stop.
Wonder if the airlines would get pissed if I traveled home in my M50 CBRN mask.......

It looks like the Iranian rocket attack wasn't so ineffective as was first reported.

More than 100 US soldiers have been diagnosed with TBI(Traumatic Brain Injuries) as related to the Jan 8/2020 rocket attacks.
It can take prolonged amounts of time before such injuries become apparent.

I am learning more and more weird and stupid shit that happened before, during and after the strikes.
Some of the guards where still in the watch towers when the missiles hit...
Even worse was that KBR didn’t tell their folks at all...they where also above ground in regular IDF shelters when it happened and after it they wanted them to go back to work.
Close to 100 of them quit on the spot.

“Not my Circus, not my monkeys”

U.S. Embassy in Baghdad Hit by katyusha .  This should cost Iran an oil field or two. 

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-01-26/u-s-embassy-in-baghdad-hit-in-katyusha-rocket-attack

I am hoping more along the lines of Sadr gets taken out.  He is the one who is ordering this. Hell he even said it was going to happen.
I am waiting for strikes on Taji and Al Asad.
He pulled support from the Students that are protesting corruption in the government, because they wouldn’t support his million man march.
Basically the students want the Iranian influence out of the Iraqi Goverment and Sadr is supported by Iran. 
It’s a total clusterfuck over here right now.

I think it’s fine. I like watching magnet fishing, sort of reminds me of that.

I’d be hesitant posting my wife’s YouTube channel in Bellgab though, if I were you. Everyone here at Bellgab is admittedly a troll.

She’s a seemingly pleasant lovely woman who likes to dive for things. A lot of the more popular youtubersndo a lot of editing for what that is worth.

She is working on the magnet fishing because its too cold for snorkeling and I know, but some of you all are ok and know a shit ton about editing and video work

WOTR- Thanks for the feed back!  I will pass it along to here.
The name is because she is Canadian..she likes to tell people I am her green card!
She is working on the editing, I think this all started out as a lark, something for us to do together when I am home and we weren’t going to video it or anything. It just kinda started on the second one we did. 
It is Snorkeling because the river we go to is shallow, but we are working on a Road Trip that will include diving.

Again guys and gals I appreciate all the feed back.

Thanks! Any feed back will be passed on and appreciated

 This was the first year, we started going to where folks go tubing down the river. We are trying to find more places to go this upcoming summer.
She also has been in contact with folks and trying to find stuff they lost, they give her the general area and she looks around.
There are a couple highway bridges that we want to check out, that would probably be the best place for guns and such.
The objects she finds, she tries to get working again. She returned 2 iPhones to their owners, but most of them are trashed. A lot of the stuff that comes up has a coating of river scum on it.
I really want her to do good with the YouTube channel, its getting her out of a funk that she has been in, plus she is learning how to edit videos and such.
And isn’t Hoffa buried up in NJ somewhere?

I don’t even think the catfish or turtles would touch him....but I do have some extra lead weights...

Can you provide a direct url to the channel? Thx.

Here is one to a video:

https://youtu.be/aoF9xKnsgzQ

The whole John Ringo Black Tide series is pretty good.
Also The Chaplian’s War by Brad Torgerson was a good read

I am back...sorry I have been gone a bit! Real life and such.
I am glad you are all still here and kicking

Guys,
Need some help. Wife started a YouTube channel.  It’s about snorkeling and finding things in the water.
What I need is some help with ideas on how to make it better...
It’s called the Underwater Canuck.
If you all can check it out and give me some ideas to pass on to her, this was the first year and we are going to try to make it better.
Plus it will help me out when I do mine.

Thanks

This whole Virginia thing is gonna turn into a shit show, glad my county went 2A

Again, you attempt to steer everyone away from the point. 

Who was the private contractor working for, and what was he doing?  My bet is that he was employed by Acadami.  Do you recall why Blackwater changed it's name to Acadami?

---
Academi is an American private military company founded in 1997 by former Navy SEAL officer Erik Prince[2][3] as Blackwater,[4] renamed as Xe Services in 2009 and known as Academi since 2011 after the company was acquired by a group of private investors.[5] The company received widespread notoriety in 2007, when a group of its employees killed 14 Iraqi civilians and injured 20 in Nisour Square, Baghdad for which four guards were convicted in a U.S. court.[6][7]

Academi provides security services to the United States federal government on a contractual basis. Since 2003, the group has provided services to the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2013, Academi subsidiary International Development Solutions received an approximately $92 million contract for State Department security guards.[8]

In 2014, Academi became a division of Constellis Group along with Triple Canopy and other security companies that were part of the Constellis Group as the result of an acquisition.[9][10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academi


The Nisour Square Massacre occurred on September 16, 2007 where employees of Blackwater Security Consulting (now Academi), a private military company contracted by the US government to provide security services in Iraq, shot at Iraqi civilians, killing 17 and injuring 20 in Nisour Square, Baghdad, while escorting a U.S. embassy convoy.[1][2][3] The killings outraged Iraqis and strained relations between Iraq and the United States.[4] In 2014, four Blackwater employees were tried[5] and convicted in U.S. federal court; one of murder, and the other three of manslaughter and firearms charges.[6]

Blackwater guards claimed that the convoy was ambushed and that they fired at the attackers in defense of the convoy. The Iraqi government and Iraqi police investigator Faris Saadi Abdul stated that the killings were unprovoked.[7][8] The next day, Blackwater Worldwide's license to operate in Iraq was temporarily revoked.[9] The U.S. State Department has said that "innocent life was lost",[10] and according to the Washington Post, a military report appeared to corroborate "the Iraqi government's contention that Blackwater was at fault".[11] The Iraqi government vowed to punish Blackwater.[12] The incident sparked at least five investigations, including one from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.[13] The FBI investigation found that, of the 17 Iraqis killed by the guards, at least 14 were shot without cause.[14]

In December 2008, the U.S. charged five Blackwater guards with 14 counts of manslaughter, 20 counts of attempted manslaughter and a weapons violation but on December 31, 2009, a U.S. district judge dismissed all charges on the grounds that the case against the Blackwater guards had been improperly built on testimony given in exchange for immunity.[15] Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki harshly criticized the dismissal.[16] In April 2011, a U.S. federal appeals court reinstated the manslaughter charges against Paul A. Slough, Evan S. Liberty, Dustin L. Heard and Donald W. Ball after closed-door testimony. The court said "We find that the district court's findings depend on an erroneous view of the law,"[17] A fifth guard had his charges dismissed, and a sixth guard (Jeremy Ridgeway) pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.[3] On January 6, 2012, Blackwater settled a lawsuit filed on behalf of six of the victims for an undisclosed sum.[18] On October 22, 2014, a Federal District Court jury convicted Nick Slatten of first-degree murder, and three other guards (Slough, Liberty and Heard) guilty of all three counts of voluntary manslaughter and using a machine gun to commit a violent crime.[6][19] On April 13, 2015, Slatten was sentenced to life in prison, while the other three guards were sentenced to 30 years in prison.[20]

On August 4, 2017, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit tossed Slatten's murder conviction and ordered the other defendants to be re-sentenced.[21] A new trial was also recommended for Slatten, on the grounds that it was unjustifiable to try him with his co-defendants, and that he should have been tried separately.[21] In December 2018, Slatten was once again convicted by a jury of murder.[22] On August 14 2019, Slatten was once again sentenced to life in prison.[23]

You along with professional reporters are remiss.

He was probably a interpreter, and Academi is doing mostly gate guarding in AF.
Have not seen any of them or Triple Canopy in Iraq, but I haven’t been to all of the bases yet.

Beautiful, I've caught some bluefish as a kid around that age trolling for them in the Chesapeake Bay. When they get into a frenzy it such a neat thing to motor through them trolling and catching them. They are aggressive fish!

Dad was in the Navy so I have fished for Blues on the Chesapeake Bay, the ones up in ME where huge!  We had to gaff them and then club them.  I wish I still had the picture of all the fish we caught that day.
My dad is huge outdoors man, when we were living in Maine, him and his buddy fished in all the amateur BASS tournaments. they won so many that they made them start doing the semi-pro, dad got up one morning at 4 am to go fishing and decided it was no longer fun, so they stopped.
But we would fish in father son tournaments, we had matching uniforms and the whole nine yards.
It was a lot of fun, then he got stationed in Maryland and they didn't do anything like that there. 

I wish I had pictures of my younger days, my cousin and I would go trout fishing on the Elk River in WV. would catch Rainbow, Brown and what they call Golden trout which is just a Rainbow but in yellow.
but here is picture of me in 1985 trolling for Bluefish on the Kennebec river near the Bath Iron Works shipyard in Maine.

I am sure we would prefer the picture of your wife's bass.

Only I get to see my wifes bass.........

Quote from: GravitySucks on April 18, 2016, 09:23:40 AM
Nice bass.

thats one of the smaller ones....My wife is on the board down at one of the marinas with about a 6 pounder.  that one was only 4

So..between trips back and forth from VA to AF, I seem to go to Disney World...a tleast once a year.   I found out that you can go fishing at many of the lakes on the Walt Disney Properties.
Its not cheap, but hey I got to blow all this deployment money some how.
So here is a picture of one of the Large mouths that I caught.

I also own a 16 foot Lund boat.....but I have yet to put it in the water.

So...My dad lives in Burns.
I had to call him from over here and ask him what the fuck was going on.
Basically all the Ranchers and the Town Folks didn't want these fucktards around and the 2 original ranchers have already turned themselves in down in Cali.
And now that they turned the power off they are in for a bit of Harney county winter...I do believe I it was -6F a couple of days ago...........

and the one I just got...I am a big fan of the Traditional/Sailor Jerry style.
I am hoping to get another calf piece done this summer
