So my companies mission was to do security on chabelley airfield. So defending on the schedule we would stay a few days at the main camp, then convoy over to the airfield for a few to pull guard.
We would go on a highway, then a dirt road that would go through a wadi or two. A lot of the road had trash piled up around it. A lot of huts and weird looking shelters were sheet metal and tires and trash. The dirt road has a water Buffalo we watched decompose over a few weeks. Trash was everywhere there as well.
On the way to a range we went through a small town which was old brick, wood gathered, sheet meta, tires, etc. some market looking stalls and goats everywhere. We had kids chase the bus and wave at us (got a picture of one) and people once again generally seemed indifferent to us.
Some guys claim the south side of the airfield was haunted. There were a bunch of graves which essentially were just piles of rocks.
Aside from stupid shit we had to do, nothing really in the horror realm.
How mundane. Did you ever do anything off base? I've always wondered what kind of impact these bases have on nearby populations.
