Really? You must've not spent that much time on the ground in the ME, then. You trek around for a week, and you'll be down to the soles of your feet, but I suppose the longevity is dependent upon the issue, some more durable than others.

Right on.

Did you manage to spend any time in Busan, by any chance?

I was a mechanic

I didn't have to trek anywhere but to the hangar.

15N?

I went to Busan for 2 weeks and stayed in a Korean barracks to ship 24 Chinooks to be refitted to the new Golf models

15U

Working on the CH-47s, eh?

That's what a Chinook is, yes :3

Must've been a blast.

They're good birds

That, they are. How was the stay in Busan? Find yourself a Korean a mare for a time?

😏

Ah, yeah, I had myself a little love bird out there at one point in time.

I got to go onto town twice. I was stuck in the port the rest of the time, eating MREs and from one of those portable mess things. I forget what they were called, but the ones the cooks kinda fold out into a chow line

I wasnt very sociable in the military. It took me a long time to get used to humanity

A DFAC?

Mostly barracks ratted it up

@Jeremy no that would imply a more permanent structure. I mean the portable kitchen trailer thing that they boiled C rats at :p

Man, that's a terrible way to spend your time in Busan, as there's plenty of young, European women about, ready for the picking.

A SERT?

Well I didn't have an option. No transportation and the port was far away from town

I dunno, like I said I don't remember the name if there was one. I wasn't the for leisure, I was there for a specific mission

I was stationed at Humphreys

One of these

Are any of us *really* accustomed to humanity as it is, anyway? I understand what you mean, though.

Yeah, that looks like a SERT.

It took me a long time to develop a decent personality and not be able to/ want to interact with people much. I'm still very solitary and insular, but not to the degree I used to be.

Anyway, back to sleep :)

Speaking of, the expansion of Humphreys appears to be moving along well, with 93% of the expenditure paid for by SK.

I hear you, Jack.

I'm off to bed, myself; take it easy. 🙂

:😑

Did someone ask me to prove their intelligence?

prove your intelligence

No not me I’m retarded

through how much effort are you willing to go through in order to do something that satisfies you?

Oh Dotty

They did
