[QUOTE=kayOkay;29545963]Have you seen a woman without a burqua, OP?[/QUOTE]

I am asking this because I have heard that the law forces women to wear blue burquas, or something.

Don't you mean imaginary analyst. As in you are making this all up?

And for everyone else who is serious when they ask about the spiders. Jeez. The whole haggling thing and the aggressive shop owners sounds exactly like it is in China. Once you pick something up they'll chase you around the store asking a ridiculous price for it, if you want it then you have to haggle for it, if you don't actually want it then you're fucked. Anyways congrats and thank you for serving and making a difference and I hope you come home alright.

OP, you are awesome. You must be quite the intelligent.

Keep up the good work is all I can say :keke:

[Strider_07]

Have you tried Shlombay?

it's an acquired taste, let's just leave it at that

[avon43]

how are the camel spiders?

[OvB]

Good read OP. You have any pictures? My dad works at the Embassy there in Kabul.

[Cypher_09]

yeah have you seen a camel spider :v:

stop rating me late idiots i know it's been asked, i only asked again because he didn't answer.

[TEH_TPMASTER]

I haven't seen a camel spider but the guys we've replaced from 101st Airborne say that they come out a lot during summer. A lot of people evidently catch camel spiders, scorpions, big ants, and geckos and get them to fight.

I'll put up pics in a bit but it's dark here so they might be shitty.

[Rainhorror]

What do you think the reason we're in the war is? And do you support it all the way?

Probably a dumb question since you're in the Army in the first place.

What do you do when someone mortars the base? Do you go out looking for them or do you take cover or something?

You mean in [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/949202-On-this-day-I-leave-to-serve-my-country...?highlight=]this thread?[/url]
He wasn't really melodramatic. He said what his decision was, the immediate result of it, and then we wished him luck. Standard "I'm joining the Army" thread.
