The Xmas Girls of NLD in Uruzgan

[Teeps74]

Me, I prefer something a lil more austere... A couple of books really... A mag or two. Oh, and watch out for socks. When I go back (which will be much sooner then later I am told), I plan on having an insane number of socks.

That's usually not how a majority of the stories ranging from 3 Rotos I hear begin, but anyways....

But it's exactly how I've seen it first hand.  And how I continue to see it.  'nuff said.

I guess I like to feel homey too...

At different points over the past few years I've had a photo of Britney Spears in my FMP (hot Britney, prior to K-Fed), the 2006 Maxim Hometown Hotties finalists pinned up in Strongpoint Center, and pics of hooters girls gun taped to the roof of the crew compartment of a LAV.  Lets not even talk about the "porno wallpaper" LAV gunners have redecorated the inside of their turrets with.  We're in too serious a business to take things too seriously.
.

Now this has been the best and most honest post.  I did exactly the same thing with my FMP, and Junior General's Kit.  Every room I had, and OP.

I've got no issues with Dutch chicks decorating their rooms.  All I ask is that they invite me in from time to time.

I knew he was a Paisan!  I agree 110% with that statement!

Add to the mix the fact that the longer a tour goes on the more stuff accumulates from those who leave it behind.  Yes Girl/ladies will tend for the softer side of things. ( personally bringing their flowery bedspread for a cott never made sense to me ) But the coffee makers, TV sets, Boom Boxes, Computers, Porn collection. Posters, weight trg stuff, lawn chairs, hammocks, Field kit, bathrobes, Xmas's decorations, haloween stuff and the like. These things are always left behind from one tour to another and are even auctioned off in some instances. In a few Roto's it does grow to be a large number.  Add to the mix any outlet that has a PSP/ Cannes./ Naffi/ PX/ welfare section and you are going to have the comfort creep. 

As mentioned at times I can shake my head at it.  But I don't begrudge it.

For the record, I shared the photos asking what I thought was a reasonable question, with a (misguided) joke at the end about pix of attractive young women and calendars.  ZERO disrespect meant to any of the allies, and I've got nothing against making a living space more comfortable.  Just askin'...

I originally thought that was what the whole thread was about......wishful thinking.....then it done gone south, west, and some to the east.....

Lord knows us guys with the Strats support echlon wallpapered the inside of our HLVW's with more Porn then we knew what to do with....

and I went out and bought one of those fuzzy fleece blankets from the PX in KAF. its all about having a few little comforts to remind me of home...

though my room looked mostly like PMed Moe's though I had a locker in there as well... and a table... it was pretty sweet.

oh and Bruce.... Co-ed????

You were more than happy to launch on bloated HQs when, as I said, they are symptoms of the same issue.

WTF? How do a few posters on bedspace wall represent a symptom of any issue?

Heck, any young soldier, if static for 6 or more months will "decorate" their bedspace.

cheers
