Thanks for all the help. I've learned quiet a lot and have so much i could do for my N/A 6.9. Thanks for everything guys. God bless you all.

Take care bro, post up an addy for us so we can send ya goodies. I have had a hell of a time over the past few weeks but ill get that intake out to you if ya still want it for your return! Been there done that and i learned the following,

Its hot, the clouds disappear for about 6 months a year, it rains and even snows in hell, but most of all.....being a single solitary navy guy in an army unit makes for a lot of fun during the army navy game!!

Take care please!

But in the meantime we are still here getting shot to ribbons and blown to smithereans, while i sit on my ***, smoke cigarettes, and chew tobacco and sit on here and help IDI newbs like I did the other day. BTW! Soldiers who are on here who've been deployed, you know how bad Hajji smokes are and how bad Hajji chew is....send me Copenhagen long cut....cope anything flavor idc lol. I will mail you a check or some money back for it lol.

I was at FOB Loyalty, aka mortaritaville! lol. We had about two rockets and mortars a day for 65 days straight with some days getting about 12. I was there from Aug 07 to May 08. Always good times!! haha.

Yeah i smoked when i was deployed, do not...DO NOT smoke that camel **** and forget soaking it in your lip haha.

Between the crew, i am sure we can get some stuff off to you.

When you say "chew" do you actually mean chewing tobacco or are you just talking about snuff?

I hear people use it interchangeably but where I grew up if you chewed it was stuff like red man, but if you used snuff you were "rubbing" (i.e. rubbed snuff.) Never heard ANYONE else use it that way, maybe it was a local thing.

Anyway might see if I could send you out something, being in the desert's gotta suck!

Desert always sucks. When I say chew where i am from. I mean like Copenhagen, I drive a Caimen MRAP without stopping for all night to the next morning. So Copenhagen is a subsitute for me. I smoke Marlboro if you decide to send me something. I will pay for the shipping and however much you guys send me. So there you have it.

Wreck, I have yet to take a single IED in six months, everyone else does though. Charlie Company gets hit quite often with IDF, SIGACTS happen around me, not to me lol.
