Almost matched by the Skinny-dipping with her in the Med off the coast of Tel Aviv during a full moon. Man....we get to do some FUN things for God and Country...!!!

I spent 14 months there as well...I was the dive medic for the time I was assigned to the MFO and our flight surgeon was a diver too. Had some great times in the Red Sea, on it's beaches and in Israel. We used to go to the mess hall and get the cooks to give us stuff to cook on the beach and buy the beer and such at the FX. There weren't that many women in the MFO, but the tourists provided all the distraction one could want! I was also a flight medical NCO and worked my schedule to make sure I got plenty of diving and flying in. One of the best assignments other than the Beirut Air Bridge that I ever had.
