Anyone currently in Ali al salem
 
I'm heading there mid July, anyone else there or heading there soon?

I've been transient through there. I don't know anyone there right now though. Our taskings have slowed down a lot this year.

austin_o12v 06-29-2015 07:15 PM

Ours have picked up quite a bit. What branch are you in?

madmikeismad 06-29-2015 10:10 PM

Air force. We're going to the crappy gulf states, afghan, jubuti (I know spelling is way off) and a few others. Theres another one in africa I can't even try to remember the name of, just a bare base though.

Thats no joke. 145* ambient for a week straight while I was in bucca, and 130* for the week I was transient in salem. You could make coffee on the roof of the humvee's. Or hot chocolate. swiss miss was like currency there.

I hear you, its finally getting cooler, ive been blessed with night shift work so I haven't seen too much of the heat except for the first couple of weeks.

madmikeismad 09-18-2015 02:55 PM

haha people would beg for mid shift. The water all tasted like plastic too, that was before people cared about heat causing chemicals leaching into the water
