More photos/explanation of what I do here
Well, these are the first photos of me at my new base doing my job. My responsibilities are to search the trucks for contraband, which includes (among the obvious things as bombs, drugs and weapons) knives, lighters/matches, propane tanks, aerosol cans, pressure cookers, cell phones, loose wires and electronics, batteries. The last five (starting with cookers) are all material that can be used to construct an IED and as such are confiscated. Only the cookers are given back to the drivers when they leave. The trucks smell like cigarettes, B.O and ass, but overall, it's not that bad of a job. I like the people I work with, the hours I work are ok, and there's a high probability that I'll get to go home with all limbs where they should be. The only thing that really sucks is that we don't get days off at all, so there's little time to relax. I doubt I'll get any more pictures of interest, but if I do, I'll be sure to post them.
The second one is of me wearing a Brit boonie cover holding their rifle. If you look closely, you can see my clean raccoon eyes. The rest of my face was uncovered by my goggles and as such is covered in dirt from riding in the turret of the humvee.
The last four are of me searching a truck, with the first of them being the truck I'm in.

chilaxeBadass. Thanks for the updates!
Farhad2000At least you're not cleaning out the base shitters.
dagComment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
^I think I would prefer that. Less dangerous. Great pix MG, stay safe.
Arsenault185I don't know about that dag. There are a lot of studies popping up over the last few years showing that the "shit stirrers" could be developing some nasty side effects from all the burning shit.
Well, kyle, you may not get a day off, but at least your duty hours are sham. Tell you what. I'll take a few days off for you. Even drink a beer or two for ya as well. I know, I'm a nice guy. your welcome.
gwiz665Good on ya, Kyle. There's far less cornholing than I had expected, but that's a good thing.
How long are you going to stay down there?
Arsenault185Our mother was kind enough to point out something rather comical, dear brother. You're wearing your nut protector, but no Kevlar. I know the boys are important to you, even if you don't know how to use them, but if you get shot in the head i don't think you'll be able to enjoy a BJ
dystopianfuturetodaySo your job is basically to jack peoples' cell phones? Can you score me a Motorola Droid?
That's a pretty serious phone you've got on your shoulder. Can you text and shoot at the same time?
Stay safe, badass.
MarineGunrockHere's as close to cornholing as I can do for you: http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd219/marinephoto/106_0781.jpg
And no Droid. Half the phones I see are still b&w screens. And there's no room for a Kevlar in those trucks. All the shelves are near the roof and with a brain bucket on you can't see into them.

In that case, where's the photo of you doing the other marines?
rougyGet your ass home.
And bring the rest of us with you.
Thought of you. I don't want to waste a man such as you, in a place such as that.
When you come home, bring your warrior spirit.
(do not smoke opium: buy a crutch and hobble around for the rest of you life instead: weed is okay--might wake you up)
And fight for us, and with us.
Cheers.
