MILITARY WORKING DOG TENT

Well as part of Security Forces I guess I can't say nothing bad. These guys probable saved the base more times than God. I remember one time a dog alerted on a car, not to mention the backend was weighted down about six inches on the rear tie. After evrybody got over the panic and evacuation we were order to search the vehicle. Mainly because the driver and passenger were Americans who had visited downtown. After conducting our clockwise exterior search all except the trunk, all was good. All I remember was thinking why is this guys rear end down so low and what the hell is in his or worst underneath this car. MWD had him open the trunk and thats when all hell broke loose. There was crusing and hollering so I figured I scurry the rest of the search to see what was going. This guy had collect about five hundred pounds of desert diamonds, for yall would don't what desert diamonds are. I'll tell you. Decorative rocks.

INVESTIGATION'S TENT

Investigation's really had tent residents on their toes, watching their every step. Making know one got careless, lazy, or stupid. They craved it out, lay it out, gave you every clue. Just look down because if you i's weren't dotted or t's weren't crossed down is where you were going.


THE WEATHER TENT

As you can see the airman that manned the weather station had alot to be proud of. They kept us informed with the current wind directions. Such as if there was rain in the forecast, or if there would cloud cover, no matter what we knew one thing for sure it would be sunny and extremely hot. I think the most important report was the wind direction. Kentucky windage is very important when you're in a fire fight.


4404 CES TENT FEMALES ONLY

There's a few generals rules in the desert: one don't feed the wild life, two no opposite sex residents in your tent, and the last rule I forgot. Well these ladies diffently are messing around, like they said we ain't play'n. Well pimp'n you know what that means they getten played, you hear me.


MISSEL CREW AND PATRIOT TENTS'

Shots out to both yall they kept us safe from artillery attack. Many times the sirens sounded and kept the faith.



THE BOAR'S TENT

This squadron must have been the elite. They know their bad, bad to the bone. Enter at your own risk. Rude, Crude and Socially unexceptable is the motto, damn.




YADY COYOTE TENT

You don't want to mess with these guys. They took extra time to put miniature xmas lights around there display. At night the lights form a perfect picture of this character it was a beautiful sight. The lights outlined his entire body, guns and mustache.


These guys or gals choose to remain an anomaly no tent number or squadron logo. Well I guess the Hood is the same no matter where you are. And we act the same no matter we are.

ESKAN VILLAGE

THE NM BORDER AND SCHOOL HOUSE AT ESKAN VILLAGE

Damn, somebody got confused. This is the NM border and the school house at Eskan Village, it's said that General Norman Schwarzkopf won the Gulf War from here. My fire team was chosen to provide security for visiting dignitaries conducting a survey for the Pentagon. The inside looked like a battle staff, with a hugh picture of General Schwarzkopf on the wall. There was lots of reminiscence of the war lurking around. The Political aids and advisors instructed us not take any photos



My first trip to Saudi was a vacation Eskan Village an oasis in the desert. We had running water, individual rooms with plush beds, kitchens and bathrooms with flush toilets. Not much action there mostly guarding intelligence facilities and personnel. Some referred to it as the Betty Ford clinic and man I thought I had it made. This tour is a cake walk, and it was.
