Absolutely, grew up goin there - Its one of his favorite places. Nothin like your local watering hole to really make you feel at home, ya know.

I'm still having a hard time understanding what Navy personnel are doing at an FOB. I know that a lot of the aircraft are Navy, but doesn't the Air Force manage land bases?

They are doing all kinds of things, planning , logistics, training.... you name it. The stories he told me were amazing, insightful, frightening, sad and shocking. Hold on to yer hats - thats all I'm sayin'.

Many are FAC's, Logistics guys, and some are NAVSPECWARFARE. Anything that is considered Joint is going to have reps from all the services including OGA's. Everyone wants a piece of the action. It what people train their whole lives to do.
