NativeHopi [9:38 AM]: that one of the group is the one we took right before we got mortered
NativeHopi [9:38 AM]: lol
Dornbrau [9:39 AM]: Boy, I'll bet if you took one right AFTER you got mortared your expressions would be way different!
NativeHopi [9:39 AM]: lol

NativeHopi [9:39 AM]: ?
NativeHopi [9:40 AM]: probaly not
NativeHopi [9:40 AM]: cuz were scouts!!!
NativeHopi [9:40 AM]: lol
Dornbrau [9:40 AM]: Oh yeah, thats right... you're Scouts! (silly boys!)
Dornbrau [9:41 AM]: So what kind of gun is that you're holding... and whats that... thing between your legs?

NativeHopi [9:42 AM]: that is a good ol .50 cal machine gun
Dornbrau [9:44 AM]: And all those guys... are they your squad, your platoon, your sorority, what?
Dornbrau [9:45 AM]: Dude, I just noticed, you're wearing your fireproof gloves... good boy! What about your fireproof man-panties? Gotta protect them family jewels you know!
NativeHopi [9:45 AM]: they are the "joes" in platoon. the boys as they say
NativeHopi [9:46 AM]: lol
NativeHopi [9:46 AM]: yes them to
Dornbrau [9:47 AM]: Ah, you're probably just saying that to make me happy, and thats okay... but they can't protect you if you're not wearing them, okay?
Dornbrau [9:47 AM]: Joes, as in GI Joes?
NativeHopi [9:47 AM]: i gotta give those things a break though cuz between my combat load and the heat. whew.
NativeHopi [9:47 AM]: no
Dornbrau [9:47 AM]: Ahhhh, so thats what we were smelling!
NativeHopi [9:47 AM]: joes as in e4 and below
NativeHopi [9:48 AM]: 120 today
NativeHopi [9:48 AM]: thought i was going to die
Dornbrau [9:48 AM]: Yeow! Its 32 even as we type.
Dornbrau [9:48 AM]: Do you at least have a breeze?
NativeHopi [9:49 AM]: feels like a hair dryer
NativeHopi [9:49 AM]: with lots of sand
Dornbrau [9:49 AM]: Ugh! I'll bet!
Dornbrau [9:50 AM]: Does it get cold at night?
NativeHopi [9:51 AM]: well were so used to the heat that 80 degrees feels cool and gives you goose bumps
NativeHopi [9:51 AM]: but sometime the power goes out and it stays hot all fuckin night.lol
NativeHopi [9:52 AM]: lol or the damn thig freezes up and spits ice all over my kot
Dornbrau [9:52 AM]: That would drive me nuts! I think the hottest it ever got here this year was 105 with the heat index, and even then we had a mountain breeze.
Dornbrau [9:53 AM]: Oh, poor baby! Hehehehe!
NativeHopi [9:53 AM]: lol

Fabulous picture! So great to see those guys so upbeat and smiling in spite of that frickin' heat! I'll never again complain about living in Florida. (Well, don't hold me to that!) 120 degrees? Chripes ! How can he wear his man' panties in that kind of heat? Gives a whole new meaning to the concept of chafing.
Thanks for those pics, Gabe. Love to you and all your squadron!
