slam-10 · 08-01-2009, 09:50 PM

whos been deployed here and how long? ive only been here a week, and already bored out of my mind. what did you guys do to pass the time.

im at al asad by the way.

Zapnoma · 08-01-2009, 11:39 PM

Was there for a year back in '05, we were at VBC/BIAP.

We stayed in our trailers watching movie, playing PS2, going to our building and playing on the internet, sleeping....etc. We didn't really have much free time in between missions but what we did have was used up by what I just mentioned.

What are you guys doing at Asad?

Petro · 08-03-2009, 01:45 AM

Killed Hadji....Burned sh**...cleaned weapons..But Iraq has changed since then....Oh and I was deployed 15 months in Ramadi....

edbighead · 08-07-2009, 06:28 PM

in 05 i was at fob normandy in baquabah, cleaned weapons, did pushups, wrote home, then in 07-08 i was at fob hammer right outside butler range complex southeast og baghdad. there wasn't anything there to do, besides build up outposts. never got out of tents either. first trip i lived in a bombed out building with no ventilation, and the second trip i lived 15 months in a tent with 18 other guys.

bdydrpt92 · 08-07-2009, 09:57 PM

I'm at Camp Bucca right now and can't wait to go home, only a few more weeks in the shitty country. Then hopefully can find a project to start on soon after.

556mm · 08-07-2009, 10:04 PM

i spent a year there from 03 to 04. the first nine or so months we pushed south to north then when we got to mosul we stayed put til redeployment. to pass the time between patrols we cleaned our AO and sometimes watched movies on our portable dvd players.

middime · 08-09-2009, 12:44 AM

i was there for about 6 weeks to cover our sister squadron just north of bagdad (cant remember the name of it). we watched eod blow shit up and snipers take out people. played a bunch of poker. pretty much whatever you can do

Im in Iraq now, In Ali Airbase/Talil AFB/COB Adder/Dhi Qar, Thats how many names they call this place and everyone calls it something different. Which gets old really quick. But besides the point after a 12-14 hours for fixing radios in the BN's motorpools and making sure the BCT CDR is up i go to my room and play xbox. I dont sleep to much....by choice

armybullshit · 08-13-2009, 05:42 AM

Well, right now im at FOB Normandy and it still hasnt changed since 3 years ago when my cousin was here and all we do is sit around on our ass and get online and look at things to waste money on

Slow_S10 · 08-13-2009, 10:15 AM

So, good ole Al Asad. Been there done that... Got the t-shirt. I was there for a total of about 15 months, two rotations about 7 months long each.

Honestly if you are going to be stationed at Al Asad for your whole deployment you are pretty lucky. It is probably one of the "nicest" places to be stuck in Iraq. When I was there they had a pretty decent Rec center. It was the big white building across from the old theater. They have an internet area and they have a videogame room with Xboxs and Playstations. If you can, get a bicycle it makes all the difference in the world for getting around that base. I was able to build one from parts on my first rotation out there and on my second rotation I "acquired" a very nice bike that was left behind when one of my room mates went home. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them were still rolling around the base somewhere. I also wouldn't be surprised if the base has changed a ton since I have been there. I know it changed so much in the 7 months between my trips that it was hard to believe and the last time I was there was in 2006 so who knows what they have going on now. There were a couple of fairly nice gym's on the base too and honestly that's where I spent a lot of my free time. The Stadium had a bunch of shops run by foreign nationals and they had tons of cheap bootleg movies and all kinds of other weird crap. You could get copies of movies that haven't even hit the theaters stateside yet, that was always fun.

But, stay safe keep your head down and try not to go too crazy.

sbs10v8 · 08-23-2009, 04:42 AM

im in al asad right now, working as pmo/qrf...stay pretty busy for the most part but there really isnt much to do whenever there is free time...watch movies or play computer games and sleep as much as possible.

s10audi0499 · 08-30-2009, 07:04 AM

yeah im at Al asad right now doing base security (^you with the AAVs?) pretty much all we do here is watch movies, PT, surf the interwebz and do missions.. its going to suck nomatter where you are just different levels of shitty. just find something to do and try not to get bored

sbs10v8 · 09-04-2009, 04:00 AM

yeah im aav's...you with 1/8? i guess you would have to be, since your doing base security.

firstgenon24s · 09-04-2009, 12:52 PM

You shouldnt be there much longer,Obama is pulling the troops out when he becomes president.........Oh,wait.

jloly · 09-12-2009, 01:12 AM

06-07 VBC Bco 3/144 INF runnin wit a police transition team. it was nice all we did was say hey iraqi police you are you do what you do and we do what we do. if we see a way you may be able to improve we will tell you and you do the same. we did alot of joint training. whenever shit started poppin of if we were with the ip's we went with them either as assault team or base of fire. when we were along we did as ya do as a blue blood.

in my free time i mastubated. alot. i also fabricated all of our deer blinds on our turrets. and longed to see my girl touch herself on the web cam, and did some seats to sit back further. every waking secound i masturbated. also painted and designed the company logo on a blast barrier. and thought about masturbating. hated defflury cow hall but loved going to the laundry wen the you filpono was workin cuz i thought of her when i mastubated.

biggest bit of advice i have to help make it through a dployment is to mastubate.

BlazinS-10 · 10-11-2009, 11:36 AM
