Reminds me of Camp Lejeune.

Where is Camp Lejeune? Sounds like its in Canada - Quebec?

Camp Lejeune is in the City of Jacksonville, North Carolina in the states. It was named after General John Lejeune, the 13^th commandant of the Marine Corps.

I will never complain about mosquitoes again. Those are huge.

Are you sure that those are mosquitos? Looked like the Canadian Air Force to me.

Did anyone else get itchy after that? I sure did!

Oh man. Reminds me of Alaskan summers. There's a reason why they say the mosquito is our state bird...

There was a picture in National Geographic a few issues back of a photographer who took off his shoes and let them attack his feet just to show how many there were. It made me want to vomit and I have a pretty strong stomach. The article was on northern Alaska. Apparently in the summer, those little bastards thrive due to all the still water on the surface of the landscape.

They all balled up right where his pinky toe met his foot.. blech

goddamn *bugs *length=36
