goes to show - still have to have a sense of humor out there...
The Commanding Officer of
Marine Air Support Squadron Three
requests the pleasure of your company at the
Change of Command Ceremony
at which
Lieutenant Colonel xxxxxxx, USMC
will relinquish command to
Lieutenant Colonel xxxxxxx, USMC
on Friday, the seventh of May 2004
at nine o’clock
Marine Air Support Squadron Three
Building #120
Blue Diamond Main, Iraq
Reception immediately following
R.S.V.P
DSN 318-3402-555 Military: Utilities
DIRECTIONS:
FROM SAN DIEGO:
Fly the most direct route to Kuwait City International Airport (this will likely involve 2-3 stops and about 17 hours in the air). From KCIA take the 7th Ring Motorway to Hwy 80N towards Iraq. Once across the international border and UN checkpoint, this will become MSR Tampa. Follow MSR Tampa for approximately 400 miles. The route is well marked but very dangerous. It is not recommended that you travel without adequate firepower, and food and water to last several days. You may also consider some form of 2-way communications in order to contact the nearest available Quick Reaction Force. Additionally, unnecessary stops enroute are highly discouraged. Take the Baghdad Beltway south and west of the city towards Fallujah. Be especially alert when passing through the Fallujah cloverleaf. Follow the signs to Blue Diamond Main. The MASS-3 area will be the last compound on the right. Parking is available in the well-marked but poorly lit Motor Pool area.
*Sponsors are not responsible for damage caused by indirect fire.
