News from Dad in saudi

Well we've heard from dad somewhat. Good news I guess for him is they recieved a large shipment of non alcoholic beer (beer is illegal in suadi) so it might not be budwieser but they got beer and I'm sure that helps alot. They just received large generators to help cool things off in Tent City..which is what they are calling their area. At night the tents reach 100 degrees and they have to leave the tents shut so that dust, bugs and other critters dont' get in the tents with them. Most of the guys over there are getting a lung disease which is caused from inhaling so much sand...causes lots of coughing, laryngitis, and sore throats..they give them medication to help with this problem. They are on a high terrorist alert and said the snipers shooting into their camp are starting to slow down. His planes were also used in the capturing of the female POW so I think that has helped there morale SP?? They're getting more and more goodies everyday to help make life better,,,such as better food and more water.. $1 million a month is what we are spending just on H20 alone. Time of return for them is still unknown..there hearing anything from a month from now and up till June of 2004. Other than that he's doin well and says hi to the exrides guys/gals..God bless him and bring him home safe..:)

[Tommy 17]

[yellowex01]

My wife is getting ready to ship out some of her world famous cheesecakes to the men and women still in the states getting ready to de-ploy.. MMMMM. We would like to ship them over to the sandbox but they have to be sent overnight and somehow I doubt they will get there in time.. But for the ones that are still in the states ENJOY..

[DEAL]

No wonder they are so angry over there, beer is illegal.
Someone needs to smuggle over some good beer to them.

beer makes it better, i hate being warm and swetty, i would sleep naked:devil hope he comes home all good:cool:

[hessianmx111]

glad to hear that hes okay and that there planes were used to rescue jessica lynch. i bet that is a real morale booster. was he in the 101st airborne division??

hope he has a safe return:)

[Leo]

They should be flying in Bud by the C-130 full... Those guys (and gals) deserve an ice cold Bud at the end of a long day in the sand.. Screw the Saudi's.

Give him our best!

Leo

[Ryan]

[TheRedRebel17]

[toby400ex]

They need lots of beer and support..
I wish them well:D

[Rip_Tear]

Thats good that you heard from him! Too bad they cant have real beer, I hope they all come back soon!

[batgeek]

great to hear yer Dad is going well over there. may he be safe, come home soon and kick a** while over there :D

ok, the BEST way to get alcohol to the guys and gals out there:

y'know them shaving cream or deodorant aerosol cans with the little rubber plug in the bottom...
spray out all of the contents of said can. remonve rubber plug. clean inside of can. rplace contents with alcohol of your servicemember's choice(wont work with beer beer). replace rubber plug. put in care package and ship off to the troop. :)

i was in the first Gulf War and thats how my sisters used to get me my tequilla :D

[redzoomer]

You Know what Batgeek... That don't surprise me one bit, that you know how to smuggle booze! haha

Rico tell Dad that all us Rednecks down here in North Carolina are wishing him well and he is on the prayerlist at our Church!
God Bless him and all of our troops!

[batgeek]

Zoomer!

hehe, ima Filipino redneck, of course i can smuggle booze...now if i could only find a place to hide my rice still.

[LapTraffic]

Bit of a paradox isn't it? Kinda hard to work the rice patties in cowboy boots?:D

That would be great, have him send us a pic of one on the side of one of them big ol' C-130's.

Don't worry, he'll be home soon:cool:

[Mx300exRyder]

Send him our thanks and we hope he returns home safe.

[jay's 300]

Good luck to your dad and all the other troops! God bless! :D

[Rip_Tear]

Why doesnt beer work? I am sure my strong Canadian beer would! If I wouldn't get in a lot of "excrement" for sending some beer I would do it for you Running Dumb! Cant wait for YOUR post after you get back!

i wonder what something like that would take to accomplish. maybe sneak about 300 cans of shaving cream booze over there with a note and a paint can:D

[MOFO]

I wish him a safe return... I'm sure he's gonna have some great story's for the next Hatfield ride. Tell him I've got his first round of "snake bite juice". ;)

[400exdad]

Ye Ha!

Here's a pic of his new home...:ermm: They've had more sandstorms for the last 2 days and are expecting more. From what i've been told,,they have at least 1 inch of sand covering everything inside their tents on an almost daily basis when the winds are whipping the sand around.. They just knock most of it off and lay down. Then in the mornins they comb the sand out of their hair, shack it out of there boots and cloths and start all over again..:( said it's been kinda slow but they are still makin the best of it out of what they can..

pic would be nice....:o
