Volleyball







Volleyball seems to be our sport, we haven't tried basketball. The contracting office has challenged us on two occassions. We looked pretty bad in the first game, but came back to win the next two. The following week they wanted a rematch. They brought in two ringers and easily beat us this time. We'll have to hit the recruiting trail and find some of our own ringers for the next match. The pictures are from the first go around. We are sporting or nice AF PT uniforms, the t-shirts are OK, but those shorts could use a few more inches of material on the legs. The good thing, everyone (in the AF) has to wear them. The walls of sandbags behind us in the pictures are bunkers.

All of us, with the exception of one, are in our mid-40s (seasoned veterans). The youngster is in his mid-30s. And, we quickly found out we can't jump as high as we used to and our timing is off from our younger days. We all had plenty of laughs at each other expense when we jumped up, swinging at the ball and hitting nothing but air or the net. It was a fun time and a good distraction from the daily routine.

  1. Nice to see you all are having fun along with all the work that your doing.
    Not only are you all sporting the same fashions in picture 2, you also have the same hair and bewildered looks about your faces.
    Stay safe.

  2. Hey Tim,

    I hear there is a rock climbing wall at FOB Salerno. Is that true? If so, how is it?
