The Maysan Thread
Anyone ever visit this particular province in Iraq? I was thinking about summer vacationing there. If I like it enough, maybe I will even stay a year.

When'd you get the orders and when do you ship out?
Anyway, that's actually a relatively safe place for a tour, assuming Sadr's homies don't get too uppity this year.Comment

The big question is whether it is safe because it is safe or it is safe because the US hasn't even really been there yet. Also, an IED hit a C130 in the province so it really isn't *that* safe."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

Well, I did say relatively.
A buddy of mine wound up in Anbar and it makes Maysan look like an afternoon ladies' tea.

How exactly does an IED hit a C130? Do you mean a home made rocket? If it was a rocket then it was likely supplied by Iran and wasn't some crude device made in someone's garage.Originally posted by Apocalypse

Any anecdotes about Maysan you can share at least, considering this is The Maysan Thread and not The Wasit Thread?Originally posted by Oerdin

Basically the British didn't secure an airstrip. An IED was placed directly on there and went off when a C130 was landing."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

While in the US, special means elite, in Britain special means special.
I will be working with British apparently. Hopefully I will get a cool British medal."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

I'll be attending LTC in Fort Knox around the same time. Luckily, all I have to worry about are airplanes flying over releasing knockout gasOriginally posted by Apocalypse
