Special Forces Prepare For Afghanistan In Utah Desert

[Buffalobob]

I used to drive out to Skull Valley above Duygway and shoot jack rabbits. There are a couple of springs/ pools out there that are full of carp and you can catch 20-30 with small hooks and corn and take them home and fillet em and smoke them. As you drive along the road you will see patches of wild sunflowers along the mountains and they are a good place to shoot doves. I hunted deer there in the mountain range a couple of times but never saw a buck nor did I see any Taliban warriors .

When I first moved to Utah I applied for a job with Dugway Proving Ground but I was an environmental engineer and they wanted chemical engineers.

I did the video security upgrades for the entire facility a few years back. What a crazy fucking place. One of the thermals could provide positive ID differences between a dog and a deer at 17k... the shit it revealed shocked even the veterans there. Best of all the thermals revealed all the buried UXO laying around at the testing ranges.

I was there when the giant bolt of light went up from out by Wig. The news media went nuts over that one. And it even caught the security forces off guard. the next day the results on the ground were nothing short of spectacular. Strangely enough nobody "knew" what happened.....

That was a long 6 months, if I never go back it will be too soon.
