My African Adventure

[KBScobravert]

Cool pictures, but I like where I'm at. Certainly not sold on those asses.

Not even this one? I see hundreds of these guys every day. I'm sure we can find a match. This fella was outside my room the other day. Pulling a cart of trash.

[BLAKE]

Yeah, that's just sad.

[blandnuts]

Sure does have a purtty mouth.

[Darren M]

Damn, now I do feel privileged.

[inline 6]

fuck that! I'm going back to my oversized portions, directv, fancy cell phone, and bitching about traffic while I'm at work in a climate controlled building.

[Cooter]

my brief 6 weeks in Egypt was a definite eye opener...

Stay safe!

But the military gonna do what the military do and it will effect us more since we live out in the town not on a base.

I lived on the economy in Bosnia, better have a backup plan if it gets real dangerous off base/away from military (which a lot of times around them is bad, but at least you're not isolated). We always had large packs on us that allowed us to stay on base without assistance from the military if needed....and it came in handy a few times.

It was a bugout bag before I even knew what a bugout bag was in terms of prepping. Clothes, flashlight, knife and so forth. We did not pack water since that was easily obtained on base...etc.

Also, in Bosnia our bases were probably a lot better established than what you'll have access to right away.

I'm sure you've thought about this stuff, but what I noticed it's up to the employees to consider this crap. The employers tend to be ignorant of the issues...etc.

Everyone here fully understand our evac plans and what I will use as indicators to leave. They have been easy to work with and get that we aren't in the best of situations right now. They all are prepared to bugout or in the worst case, shelter in place.

I knew this wasn't going to be a "Disney Land" gig, but damn, I'm just not getting good vibes on this.
Stay safe broseph!

There is a huge criminal element here. Weapons coming down from Libya and refugees going up to Libya on a pretty fixed routine.

It's definitely isn't Disney.

City power has been out since 7am and we are on a shitty chinese backup generator that is half the size it needs to be.

My next picture may be me sleeping outside tonight if they can't keep the power up for the a/c.

[KBScobravert]

lol, let's hope it isn't like this. I don't have any body armor on this project

[soap]

It can be depressing seeing some of it but there is nothing you can do about it.

You sure it's Africa...? Looks like tent city south Dallas.

Fuck that.

[KBScobravert]

Fuck that.

Yep. At 0310 this morning we lost power. Instantly got hot and laid here in my sweat tyring to sleep until 0530. These hard learning mother fuckers let that fucking generator run out of fuel. Didn't matter though. Even after fueling it up it still died. Thank God, the hotel owner replaced it at lunch and it seems to be running stronger. We will see. After all, this is Africa.
