The west Texas Detachment of the SS welcomes you aboard, Logan:grin: Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway:driver: By the looks of your qualifications... You'd better report immediately to the maintenance section as we could ALL use some expert advise:!:

Thank you for your sort of service to our country - We salute you:!:

Welcome and thanks for checking in. There were a couple members "over there" who were checking in here but they are all back stateside. Would love for you to let us all know how things are going over there and what you are facing maintenance wise. Pictures are highly appreciated!

Oh dont worry about that, I got alot of pictures that I cant post because of security reasons, like most of my MRAP stuff...But its like I always say, if you dont know about it, just hit google...Its amazing what info is out there in open view even when the military is screaming OP SEC and requires a security clearance for...

Welcome LOGAN.

I was at FOB Speicher from 2003 to 2004(DS Maintenance Company) now I'm at CKV over by Jordan/Iraq border. I load and unload all the KBR/Mil convoys here. I should be back home in July.

Again thanks and welcome to SS.
