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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Stay safe!

[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.

[Darren M]

Damn, now I do feel privileged.

[blandnuts]

Sure does have a purtty mouth.

[BLAKE]

Yeah, that's just sad.

[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.

[KBScobravert]

I am so thankful I wasn't born in that hell hole.

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

Hell, I get suspicious of someone behind me when I turn into my subdivision if they are still behind me after two streets.

There is a huge criminal element here. Weapons coming down from Libya and refugees going up to Libya on a pretty fixed routine. They don't want us fucking with them any more than I want them fucking with us. 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.

It is just a matter of time before IS moves a little further south into Niger to bridge the gap from Libya to Boko Haram in Nigeria. When that starts to happen I expect things to change for the far worse here.

So far, we have tons of freedom of movement in the daylight hours. But we try to be in before the sun sets. The streets definitely have a different feel at night. Lots more activity.
