Life on Camp Anaconda Balad Iraq

[ecktowmaster]

some of these people have never been there... they are the pussys they probabaly still have their momma cleaning up after them... if you haven't been there just shut the f_ck up..

[TheCentralServices]

@ecktowmaster Why don't you show the equipment graveyard of Anaconda to illustrate how careful you handled the valuable and expensive equipment entrusted to you by the American taxpayer?

[ecktowmaster]

i remember when i was there in 05

[5694NR]

A fucking subway?! notice you dont see any Marines... thats becasue they all were out you know... fighting!!

[kishaba1980]

@5694NR non-sense....marines are some of the most laziest/undisciplined servicemen I've ever seen...FYI there was a detachment of marine POGs on annaconda

[linuxnut87]

This base is the nicest base in iraq in my opinion. Eeytime we did a convoy mission i wanted to come here. Yes, JBB fobits have it way good.

[marcusos1111]

isnt this base the one that gets mortars all the time??

[Cupcakeluv100]

@marcusos1111 yes, everyone that lives there calls it Mortarville. It usually gets some sort of mortar attacked at least once a day. I lived there for a year.

[newtond23333]

Soldiers they have nothing!!! I talk to soldiers all the time that says "Freedom isn't free but im willing to fight for it."

[marcusos1111]

@newtond23333 freedom isnt freee that why you pay taxes for if you dont pay them see how much freedom you'll have.

[zeromethod1337]

[nattydread329]

spartan living conditions???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH­HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LSA Anaconda is the best place to be stationed at in Iraq, please don't argue with me unless you've been there.

Hey isn't that the 81st? I was attached to the 29th (100/442), we're the guys who replaced these dudes

[jcooper91]

My bro is currently stationed there

God bless our troops

[ljquigley]

My son is also stationed there now..good luck to all...

[crlmoran]

Fuck Anaconda! its the land of milk and honey compared to Ramadi. Bitches

[kaylalee2]

I spent a year on Anaconda. Depending on your job you can do a lot of stuff that helps the time pass...if you're too busy to do the fun stuff, time is gonna go fast either way. Families back home...stay strong. It's a fairly safe area, which is rare in Iraq. They'll be home before you know it!

[ipreferwaffles]

My fiance is there.. He just got there on March 25th.. I miss him and love him so much!

Be safe over there guys and come home!

[djmilkshake]

[Skyjuice70]

[jlsHouston]

[airborneSGT]

Yeah man I was stationed out at an FOB in the middle of no where Iraq.

[crouton0salad]

Do a YouTube search on "pinkyshow iraq", you might learn something from a cat.

[erikhowes]

omfg! that isnt iraq! thats a fucking vacation compared to paliwoda. they didnt mention the pool. the fact that that place is so big that we used to watch the morters fall from the other side of it and not be in any danger.

[engoif4]

yeah no shit..i was stationed at anaconda but was also at paliwoda..that place is a hell hole all in it's own.

[ccrawford553]

There allowed a fifteen minute call twice a week to family. Theyve got new codes so they can track how much they use the phone too!

[mrspock03]

I just got back from there a few weeks ago and I called home every day...we were limited to 15 minutes.
