KAF Meets and Greets
« on: October 11, 2008, 07:31:00 »
I thought that I'd start a thread for those of us here, as most other major communities have one.

They won't generate such amusing photographs, and the venues will not be so varied, but at least we can co-ordinate RVs fairly simply.

I might be on the boardwalk tonight about 2000. Look for the guy in CADPAT AR and spiffy tan Safariland 6004 holster and sporting a prominent moustache and Loachman nametag.

Wow you really stand out  ;D
Note to any Taliban and AQ personnel on the Form:  ALL SUICIDE VESTS AND EXPLOSIVE DEVICES MUST BE TESTED TO INSURE THEY WORK BEFORE GOING AFTER A TARGET.

This is a measure to save any embarrassment that may occur when your explosive device, does not function as it is intended to.

It has come to my attention that these measures are not being followed, so for all Taliban; please refer to the above.

Thank you for your cooperation

If you are there for a few more months, I look forward to meeting you.  I'll be in civvies though, also sporting a prominent moustache.  ;D

Is the tour "moustache of authority" a prerequisite for the meet and greet? Mine is well on the way.....

Mine rather predates my tour, by thirty-three years.

With my moustache growing since 21 Sep 08, I'll try to make it, though usually I'm euchred come evening.  But I'll be the guy packing heat, wearing a "Garvin" nametag using nothing but Latin script (eg: No Pashtun or Dari for this cat)

Are little hoplites invited to these get togethers or would I be punching above my weight so to speak?

No worries, FD, your Regimental affiliation will put you in good stead in any social situation, particularly those involving drinking something (coffee/beer/dram etc.).  You'll fit right in!

Provided that the social situation is not you catching your daughter kissing an RCR Private on your doorstep as he drops her off an hour past her curfew. ;D

Excellent. Post here when you're free for an RV and see if anybody else is. I've been working odd hours lately and haven't had the opportunity. Soon.

My curiosity got me... When you say contractor, are you still working on aircraft?

Now that my MOA is up to the standard set by Mortarman Rockpainter; I am up for an RV. Sadly though, he has decided my Callsign is not up to par.... these Headquarters Wallahs, always trying to change everything!

Of course, Loachman fails to mention his lack of appearance for the first official meet and greet of TF 3-08!  But that's ok.  I still had a chance to have a chat and boardwalk-walk with him before I headed out.

I'll drop a line here when I rotate through on HLTA and hopefully get a chance to meet some others.

P.S. Mortarman...YOU'RE buying this time.  :P

Guess it was a bit of short notice for people for tonight.  I didn't have alot of time to get ahold of most.  I'll try to give more notice when I'm back from HLTA. 

I'll still be on the Boardwalk tonight for a bit...I hear BK is back open!
