Rep Power: 22 | | While Serving in Afg
I just wanted to share this with you all. I found it amazing, and totally upsetting and aww inspiring at the same time. While serving in Afg. i saw an amazing sight. I was sent to a forward op. base (FOB) in the south eastern part of the country. Here i saw growing, inside the wire, an amazing amount of Afgan weed. So pungent, so large, so green, and just stunning. The facts are it was grown by the Afg. National Army stationed on the US ran FOB. How is it that on tech. US soil we allow others a freedom, one we are fighting to give them, but yet, this freedom we are fighting for, we can't enjoy. Just thought i would put that out there. Also, pot really does look dif from the air in an IR camera. I fly UAV's and I def had to test that one. Bamberger Out!

Im just doing what i thought i needed to do. And i do, but am iffy on starting it out. Fear of what it might bring. I figure that was the first place i got shot up, so im saving those seeds of a REAL spc time and place. I dont think ill get the full chance to app them while im still stuck here in Germany. FYI once i get out, i think that will be my spc time and place.

i'm with watson on this man, thanks for your service!
oh yeah, what part of Germany are you in? ...i was stationed in Wiesbaden
back in the day when i was young i'm not a kid anymore, lol.
btw, if Germany is anything like it was in the '70's, it should be crawling with
Afghan hash, lol. ...and cheap too! (back in '73 it was .50 cents per gram)

Thanks for your service Bamburger! Sounds like you ran across some mighty fine herb. Im on the west coast and we dont get much stress for growing out here, as long as you dont go crazy with it! The local police saw my 6 plants and never said anything to me. They were about 6ft tall and bushy. That was 3 years ago. So its not too bad in some parts of the country! Stay Safe and Good Luck!

Thank you for your service to this country, we all are in debt to you. So marijuana gives off more heat than other plants? Is the difference really noticeable?

Rep Power: 22 | | They are armed
I went to fort Huachuca to learn the art of these aircraft. Yes they are, the newest config will hold 2 500lb JDAM/ 6 Hell fire (3 each hard point)/ or a mix and match 1 JDAM 3 Hellfire. It is a trip to see how fast they came to be. Old tech, new app. When i get back to the states, ill show you a great video of 5 walking up a mountain side after they lit a fob up with a AA gun.
