Limb Baseball T-Shirts

Military Surprise can either be in startegy... or humor. Depends on the circumstances.

Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri was an Egyptian-born Islamic jihadist and terrorist. After the September 11 attacks, the United States Department of State offered a US$25 million reward for information or intelligence leading to al-Zawahiri's capture. He was killed in Afghanistan on July 21st, 2022. Good riddance.

Nothing wakes you up in the middle of the night like the Walk of the Mortars.

Occasionally mistaken for Clara Barton, T.H. Limb tries to make sure there are no forgotten soldiers stories.

You know the Sergeant-Major is being rather insincere when you hear this phrase.

On occasion, we peacekeepers of the MFO would have some interaction with the locals.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom the Multi-National Corps Iraq (MNCI) formed an Information Operations Task Force to combat enemy disinformation and misinformation and to reach target audiences with positive information about the Coalition. IOn effect, we wanted the insurgents to dance to OUR tune instead of the other way around. What better nickname could we have than Task Force Scopitone, named after the crazy multilingual music videos of the 1960s! The "badge" incorporated twin palm trees as a frame, a sword with a lightning bolt signified information as a weapon and the snake being hit with it represented the insurgency.

While stationed in the Sinai as a peacekeeper I saw all kinds of moneymaking schemes: in Sharm el-Sheikh there was a MAS Bowling Center, in al-Arish there was a decent beach on the Mediterranean," and in Ismailia they have the Izakaya Restaurant where they serve a mean Double Chicken Hamburger. I'm surprised that no one started doing tours of the desert...

Scooters are easier and cheaper than getting a car in South Korea... although there is NO "cool factor" in riding a "scoot."

Tattoos are a relatively cheap alternative to accomplishments and personality.... thus becoming a magnet for E1-E4s!

Someone seems to think marriage is a competition...

You really have to wonder about the people who "decorate" these dummies!

I saw this in a museum in Hanau. It seems that witches really made a pest of themselves to the point where a local gunmaker named stuck came up with a way to get rid of them. Soon, those broom-riding vermin emigrated France, where that sort of thing was more tolerated. Or at least that's what the Germans told me.

Meals Ready to Eat have been an important part of the U.S. Army's meal plan since the 1980s.... although some of the recipes go back further.

Sergeants-Major are responsible for enforcing Army-wide, command and local standards. It doesn't always mean they know what they're talking about.

Military signs sometime lay it out precise detail...

While I was in Guantanamo one Filipino gentleman in particular was NOT helping with Army recruiting...

I always wondered if you could get away with throwing a brick through a fortune teller's window... after all, couldn't they call the police in advance?

Thank God for the Post Exchange! Where else could you get the little luxuries of life?

Fort Leavenworth has all kinds of history plaques and markers. Every Army officer of any consequence has been here at one time or another, including one pretty intense tank major...

This certainly shows where the priorities lay with the post when we had the Big Flood.
