Doha - There & Back!

by shafinah - last update: Jan 10, 2008

The Schriever Crew: LJ, Craig & me

Deployment #1: Jan - May 05

This was my first deployment in the AF - I went with 2 of my colleagues (pictured) and it was a great experience. Made a lot of great friends and worked my butt off.
Pimpsack & Shaf, reunited

Meeting up with Paul at the Deid, trip #1

I was stationed in Germany back in 01-03 and met Paul who worked on Ramstein. It was cool seeing him at the Deid, right as I was leaving in Feb, he was coming in. Still had a pumpkinhead though. :-) Weren't allowed to have members of the opposite sex in our rooms so he just hung out in the hall way with the door to my room propped open. Darned GO-1A.

Let's go somewhere, folks!

Doing the Deid #2: Oct 06 - Feb 07

This deployment was a short notice tasker - I had 2 weeks to get ready and go! It was another learning experience, although I knew the base and worked on the same stuff as I did the first time around. But still met great people and had a nice time. Nothing to complain about! 3 beers and off-base trips are privileges many took for granted!
