Did some time in East Africa too. I was attached with MEU teams mostly...Eritrea, Yemen, all that. This was back in 04. It was mostly Marines and Foreign Spec Ops back then tho. Quick story

Before they expanded on Camp Lemonier, we would have to do PT tests on a 5 mile trail that ran along the flight line. If you run all the way out...the bush got denser, trail got narrower, you damn near really off camp. I was running back one time and heard movement in the brush:leostare:...I knew wasn't shyt out here but the ocean and animals...:patrice:. I'm dehydrated so I basically just trotting, and I hear one of them laughs that don't mean funny:merchant:...nah it's one of them laughs that killed Mufasa my nikka:sadcam:. That creature was pacing me. I had like 3 miles back to go. Panic sets in, I activate those endorphin's and use that adrenaline.....and I muster up my best "get the fukk outta here":yeshrug: shyt sounded weak sauce, I didn't need to have fangs or smell fear to know that I looked like a easy 3 piece at this point. I end up making it to a water point, grab a handful and started throwing them shyts over the raggedy wire that was protecting me from a closed casket funeral. Eventually I make it within earshot of the CH-53 take off and landing..so that must of scared em off. I later get word that a pack of hyenas had been disposed of as a nuisance to camp. :ohhh:

Be happy to be in the motherland and get ate brehs.:smugdraper:

yea i heard about that. :scust: at that shyt though. Better be some perks to that shyt. I heard they took away the hazardous duty pay and all that shyt. That whole country smelled like shyt except for the kempinski :ld: Is it still tax free out there?

We might be the last unit to get hazzard duty pay in Djibouti. That incinerator on the running trail is what made it smell like shyt. It's pretty much free deployment money there. All we did was pull guard.

No. Only time I let my shyt get anywhere near out of control was when I was in the desert longer than expected - and even then my boys brought clippers so we all stayed with fresh lineups regardless :wow:

Them Barracks haircuts bring back memories. Some of my boys had SKILLS too, kept my hairline looking fresher than the actual Barbershops on Base

It's funny man, we did in the beginning. When we first got there we were hading out water and candy and shyt....on some superhero's here to save the day shyt. They always asked for pens, also.

Well, didn't take to too long to figure out they were selling the springs in the pens to IED makers, and would always try to pick-pocket us when we were giving out shyt. After about a month we just mean-mugged em and got them the fukk away from us.

dikk move, but it's a lose-lose situation, you know?
