Hey is this the same mud hut that we had seen on the famous CH-47 photo?????!!!????

[Lysander]

Cool pictures. Are those rocket launchers or granade launchers?

[Herrmannek]

Yes I also see similarities :)

[shrek]

I know the truck was a rocket launcher, the towed thingy I'm not sure about. Anybody have some insight?

[shrek]

Ok, that's not the picture that I was thinking it was. I'm not sure what the truck is either. I have a picture of a Taliban rocket launcher truck bu that ain't it.

[Upfrontreporting]

Both of the rocketlaunchers look like Chinese 107mm (Type XX)

Saw a couple in Croatia that looks like the ones in Shrek's photos.

They do it all over Asia. Propably in other places as well.

[Delta Niner]

Terrace Farming???

They also do that here in the Philippines :)

[koster]

You guys ran out of flash hiders ?

[MVSpartan117]

Great photos Shrek!!! :D

What's with the flash hider...?

I'd guess muzzle cover.

[xjym2002]

Shreks pics are back!

[ibstolidude]

You guys ran out of flash hiders ?
it is plastic cover.

[bolter9]

Always look forward to seeing your pics Shrek- thanks!

[Fitzcarraldo]

Hey, remember OPSEC, man. :|

[MVSpartan117]

Hey, remember OPSEC, man. :|

Indeed

[wyrm_142]

It was a simple non-opsec breaking question (from my stand point).

But since you guys feel that it crosses that line, I'll delete my post.

Just asked cause I flew over Afganistan for 6 months, and those hills looked familar.

[Seoulstriker]

Just asked cause I flew over Afganistan for 6 months, and those hills looked familar.

That's why... talking about operational location is bad.


With that behind, may I ask why you were flying in afghanistan for a couple of months? :)

[wyrm_142]

Work ;)

[Seoulstriker]

Heh. :)

[wyrm_142]

It was my fallout deployment from not going to OIF (had my bags packed three times, and plane tickets & firearm etc twice).

I was sitting around on orders so the big AF sent me. Well, sorta - I was back at AEF center and taked to my career manager and knew I was getting deployed so I had a few choices.

Sorry... which famous CH-47 photo do you mean? This one?

[HumanShield]

Yea thats it.

My bad i never saw the first post about it. It is almost the same, the trees on the left, and hills in the back look really close to the same. But the front area of the building is not the same.

[Seoulstriker]

it's pretty close to a match... :D

[Ballistic]

A-stan has such a rugged beauty too it. Awesome pictures shrek, thanks once again. :)

[shrek]

You guys are all welcome for the pics. Remember, I have several thousand!!!

Thanks Seoul for posting them. Makes it so much easier for everybody.

Yes, that is a plastic dust cover on my M-4. We ran out and our supply said that they had no more. When we returned home we found bags of them while we unloaded gear. Typical NG supply!

These specific pics are from, Eastern, maybe a little Northern Afgh.

I'm ready to go back!

[Ichhabe]

Terrace Farming???

I thought they only did that in Japan.
They do it all over Asia. Propably in other places as well.

For those who are interested in agriculture: Also in South-America.
And all over the world. Old method. :D

[shrek]

Yes, it always amazed me that people with so much intelligence to be able to make the most elaborate irrigation and terrace systems work couldn't form simple governments and stop killing each other over the stupidest things.

ANother thing that impressed the ****e out of me was their rock working skill!!

[Whisper_44]

I'm ready to go back!

Is that a hint shrek? Are you outward bound again?

regardless, props to you my friend for letting us all have a peak a the quiet side of Afghanistan.

[hood]

To shrek:

hey there, the provider that the machine is hosted on had me change the networking settings, but unfortunately that made things glitchy. I've fixed everything now though so you shouldn't have any more problems. Care to put up the new ones? Thanks.

[garoco]

usa - terrace farming is also common in Indonesia and Malaysia from what I have personally seen.

Shrek - stay safe buddy and thankyou for sharing the pics :)

[SiFiOn]

Really nice pics shrek!

[Jester23]

Great Pics, Shrek!

Which pic is the infamous "Delta" one I've read so much about in previous posts?

DELTA!!! :)

[shrek]

Guy on right with Supressor. Not a very flattering pic. Got a better one but really no way to clean it up without ruining it so I just sent this one.



Hey, the .ftl that HOOD provided me is working better than it ever has now so I just dumped 21 more pics on there for him to post. I'm sure he or I will let you know.


As always, these pics are pretty clear and descriptive, so if you see something you recognize, PM me, don't post it in the open please!

Later


P.S. Nope, two wars is my limit, I'm out for good now guys. I do have buddies and several of the people that you see in these pics that have gone back or are going so pray for them!! I know I do!

[Jester23]

ahhh...very interesting.....

Thanks, guys!

I'm stuck behind a firewall here at work, so I'll have to check your site out at home, Shrek.

It is the same building. Look at the details of this roof, e.g. the right farther corner.

SHREK, great pics! :D
