How many of you guys saw Babboons over there...

I remember being shocked to see them. They would come in your tents and go through your gear, looking for food and soft drinks. We had one female soldier get bitten by one when she screamed after seeing it.

I later found out that the arab caravans kept them as pets and they multiplied.

    We had a guy shoot a camel with a LAW...it was almost dark and he claimed that he thought it was a tank. He ended up having to pay restitution.
