We have finally made it to our FOB and have gotten settled in. Being MEDEVAC, we have a very small number of people on site and most of us are either working or on call at any given moment. Wiffle ball is quickly emerging as the recreation of choice as it is easy to quickly set up and take down and requires only a few people to play. We’ve been playing at least every other day – here are the highlights up to this point.
– SPC Fricke took a hilarious bouncing grounder to the face (a cement flight line isn’t the ideal field surface) but shut everyone up with outstanding hitting to include a beautiful line drive triple in high winds.
– CW4 Bradley hasn’t actually played, but has entertained himself sitting on top of the CHU’s (housing) with a bb gun taking pot shots at everyone on the field. Makes for a more interesting game. I think we should consider adding this in Fatty 2010.
– 1LT Knowels – registered full-blown redneck – verified that he has no athletic talent whatsoever.
(Coming from Sumner, this is high praise, indeed, as we’ve seen his “skills” primarily in his talking game. Of course, we won’t bet on it… – fatties.)
– 1LT Knowels – SFC Lugg proved that old guys still got game. We’ll have some better photos of him in the next round of action.
– SGT Highman is very hairy.
- SGT Malloy has great natural pitching ability – but tried to do some kind of really crazy pitch and pulled an ass muscle. At least, that’s his story. (He was also recently on leave and reportedly lives next to the “wiffle ball museum”)
Looking forward to Fatty Iraq II – should be interesting. Hope everyone is doing well – I’ll keep you updated.
