You got me beat on this one Nelson -- Grumpy



It's not really a competition, but I have to admit, I have been some weird places. :lol:



Only one deployment and that was to Incirlik as an augmentee to my old shop I had worked in for two years. They loved me there, since I could speak some of the language, I had background on the base infrastructure and I actually completed two of the projects I had started a couple of years earlier. It was a great deployment, except for living in the tent. I gained 10 lbs in three months pigging out on all the food I had missed when I left Turkey. Not good, since I got put on the weight program when I got back. :(
