For my deployment to end. Maybe not soon enough. Not withstanding the 14 IDF events we've had so far, last night a 6' representative of this wandered through the compound.

Thank you for your service.

9mm will handle that snake just fine. Or a SAW.




Regards,

Oh, I just couldn’t go there. Crawly things and slithery things are not in my color wheel. Smile
Thanks for your service.

Authorized or not, there would be some gunfire.

Be safe and thanks for your service.

Thank you for your service. My son spent some time in the sandbox and the day he came home was one of the best in my life.
Stay safe!

Wow. From looking at the distribution map linked to in the OP, that thing's like a goat molester's Visa card - "everywhere you have to be".

I spent a lot of time in that neck of the woods, but never saw one of those. Some of my time was in tents, some in CHU's. I often wondered what might enter the tents. When I was in Iraq, I thought the pictures of the camel spiders were doctored up internet hoaxes, until I ran into one at night in Basrah. I'd seen tarantula-sized ones in other locations up north, but it wasn't until I saw one in Basrah that I believed they could get that big. Really big...and I thought about that every night after, in my tent.

I'm sure there were enough snakes there, but oddly never saw one.

When I was in 37 days would be too short to see over your boots.

I think it would be considered a Local National, V-Rail and tough to get an exit Visa to ship home! Given a very wide berth.
