I was at Blessing for all of this...... its funny seeing those kids sitting there. I swear thats all they did. As much as I hated it there... I miss that place some what......
Man its funny you say that. I was with KBR CJOA as an electrician @ blessing from sept-dec2005. I remember getting attacked a lot at night and the two earthquakes, seeing a lot of medevacs etc. & thats just inside the wire!!! But the Marines there were great and were real people. Made me feel good to try to make their life on the camp a little better. The ASF guys were great too. At times I DO MISS THAT PLACE! Things were real there in a sick sort of way. Thanks
Thanks for this video my husband just got stationed there.. wanted to see what its like.. fuckin shityy i miss him SUPPORT OUT TROOPS!!!! i love u tyler henslee GO 2-12 INFANTRY!!
I was stationed there January 2005. It sure looks like it has grown a bit bigger. Our chow hall had hand built bench tables. The cook grilled our meat on the outdoor open flame grill. There were 15 Marines including myself living in a hooch made frome rocks. One day it rained really hard and long , that it soaked through the seems were the rocks were cemented/mudded together. I sure do miss that place and the Marines I was stationed there with.
that camp is named after Jay Blessing, an armorer for 2nd ranger battalion, 75th ranger regiment, who was killed by and IED while operating out of that camp when it was still a very small and remote FOB in 2003.
yeah i was there when this video was taken.. and i have to say I pray to god that we never have to go back to that valley ever again.. a lot of brothers lost in that valley and the connecting valleys.. Chosen Few
I was there back in 05. when the Marines where there. We didnt have that paved spot where the black hawks could land. Good luck in the korngal valley!!! Keep your eyes open and shoot straght while your in there!!!!
