FJDG baby--Diego Garcia, The Footprint of Freedom in the B.I.O.T. It was like summer camp in paradise. Plus there were not the LBFM "distractions" that you'd get in Thailand getting your young troops in trouble.

Coronet Oak out of San Juan. 120 days of flying all over Central and South America. I don't think my liver has fully recovered from that one :D

Just a matter of perspective ;)
OIF is a TDY for most guard flyers! ;)

Deployed to U-Thapao, Thailand to do humanitarian airlift following the tsunami. Stayed in the Marriott with all the comforts, and too much of all the things that can get you in trouble...

When it involves a 12-hour/7-AAR Coronet pond crossing with three different tankers to get there, and then it lasts for 65 days...it's a deployment.

BTW, no fighter guy is considering that deployment as an AEF square-filler.

Clark, where every day was Fat Tuesday. Hong Kong SAREX with the Royal HKAF, RAF Woodbridge/Bentwaters for culture and beer, and Midway Island for world class saltwater sport fishing. Oh, did I mention Clark?

Wake Island had quite the reputation for this also - though a weekend was long enough at one time :rolleyes:
