Deployed Members
I will be deploying in a few weeks to provide "New Equipment Training” for our troops. I do not know what internet services are available or if I will have any. If you don't see a post from me for a few months, please don't terminate my membership. Will try my best to be on the site, maybe add some photos too?

Hey reyesl, stay safe out there. We have quite a number of members who are or have been on deployment over the years.
All of you are always welcome here.
Reyesl, your post count already places you in a Membership Safe category.
If you are able to login from time to time that would be great, even if it is just to say Hi, we will be glad to hear from you.
All the best,
Richard

+1 on Richards post Reyesl, you're well into the safe zone and then some......member for life
Hope all goes well with your deployment and you come back safe......If you can drop by every now and then just to say hi, that'd be great.
If not, we'll catch up with you when you get back
Best......

6 weeks left in Afghanistan...
I am getting close to going home, I have not been able to log on the site as much as I wanted.
Can't wait to get in a vehicle that does not have a truck suspension!!!!
I have a lot of photos, will need to do a little editing before I can post them.

A Few photos of my Trip:
Russian Placed Land Mines behind the fence line.
C-47 on the Aircraft I was on from Kuwait to Afghanistan.
C-17 that slid off the runway on ice. The aircraft was slowly turned around and is now being prepared to be moved. A new Taxi-way was built to move the C-17.

A few more photos:
Landing on our roof?
This Dust devil is almost 1/8 of a mile wide!
Atomic Sunset
Our students mounting and bore-sighting weapons.
The C-17 that slid off the runway, being prepared to be moved to the other end of the runway for repairs.
Me, firing the 50 cal sniper rifle...was too cold to use the magazine-had to fire single rounds.
The pathfinders that let us fire their weapons.
50 Cal on the CROWS.
Student firing the 50 Cal.

Awesome pics Reyesl, thanks for sharing!
Question though......why not post them in large format within the body of the post?
So much better for all to see, as below......
With the ones you've posted.......all you should really need to do is to click on the pic so it opens up, right click on it, copy, then paste into the post.......
If you need help with this for these pics or for future then please just check out the how to post pics in the help n suggestion centre.
If you still struggle ask a mod or myself and we'll be happy to help....

It comes up saying that I can't access the images and need to speak to the site administrator. I'll keep poking around.
I've got some good friends there - one just came back and one just had Thanksgiving over there. My unit is slated to head there in a year or two as well, though who knows for sure.
