Well I just got back from Morocco a week before Xmas and now that I can relax, time to share some pic's and stories.
I had a great time working with the army and airforce, hardy lot they are and I was simply amazed at the vast equipment that they have, though some of it was real crap, some is just stunning.
The troops I worked with were 2nd line types, the best are presently occupying holes along the border as they are not in friendly terms with Algeria.
They are dead serious about terroism, case in point, one of the local film guys had a pic of Osama as a wallpaper on his cell phone, he decides that he would be cool to show the Canadian ladies the pic, the girls talked to the security guys who in turn talked
to Johnny GQ and told him that if he didn't get rid of it he'll talk to the state police.
Well buddy not only smashed his phone with a rock he cried for a few hours and looking like a complete snot bubble......what a killer!
The troops from what I observed, eat crap, drink tea non stop, are in for 25 years and that is it, issued kit is crap so they all suppliment with civi, ie...its cold so my leather jacket is good enough with my grandma's knitted sweater under my cmbt shirt!
and wear flip flops in the field.
Well that's about it for now, here's some pic's.
