FRIENDS ON THE F.O.B.


Anyone who has been keeping up with the blog has read in the past that the Military loves to abbreviate! It's almost comical at times and I usually have no idea what they are talking about. I just nod my head in acknowledgment. F.O.B., I learned about two months ago, it stands for Forward Operating Base. Basically, F.O.B. Victory is where I live.
I have had the pleasure of meeting a passel (thats for you Mikey!) of great people here on the VBC, Victory Base Camp so i'd like to share some pictures with you. Last names and rank will be left out, some people, like Lori, don't like their picture taken so I, on occasion, have to be sneaky! Enjoy!

The Lord Darth Vader, an actual Sith lord....I believe he is in interrogations, water-boarding don't look so bad now! He's been eating too much DFAC food like me!

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

hinHappy 4th of July everyone! Things here on the VBC are decorated Red, White and Blue and the BBQ grills are full steam ahead ( I have a sneaking suspicion the fireworks won't be going off around here). I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends. I may be here for work but there are thousands and thousands of people making holidays what they are. Through their selfless dedication and bravery they mold a better future for we as Americans and countless other nations around the world. please think about their sacrifices, past and present and show them thanks when you can.


Now being the STAR WARS Uber-geek I am, I found this picture and had to post it. Enjoy!
