I am working in Hungary with an old 3rd Group guy that was doing JCO there in BiH and his CPT seemed to have made a wrong turn into Serbia... The Serbs gave him back, ohne Waffen...

Pretty interesting story.

Don't forget the Sabre radio the Serbs kept also (crypto compromise is always fun). But that is what happens when someone allows a CPT to violate the two man rule and go out with just the terp and it turns into a drink fest over a Dear John letter.

Conrad, good to see you wander over here.

I still have a couple of the leather trinkets with the JCO emblem on them....

I remember that... but the way I heard it they were heading over to do some skiing

I never served in a JCO but spent about 3 months with the Russian Abn Bde in Tuzla, living in a tent on their compound and putting a serious hurt on my liver...


Edit: Duh - not Tuzla... Uglevik!

I totally forgot the ?FOR/YFOR (Why-FOR) stuff!!! I must still have one of those t-shirts somewhere.

If I can find something I'll put it up. Pictures are worth...

Bombing in Doboj

Don't forget that the Doboj (N50) house was bombed in the summer of '97 by the "Black Hand" when they tossed a charge under one of the Opel SUV's parked under the carport. The vehicle was destroyed and some glass was blown out in the front and side of the house. I think only one person was slightly injured.

Second Home

Good memories reading the posts.
i spent so much time there from 95-98 and actually returned there in 2001. It was easier for me to navigate there than Germany where i was stationed but was never there.
Sarejevo intial entry before Dayton, living in the Skandaria (old olympic Ice ring) with the french. Spent christmas 95 watching the french guys dress up like girls and party with each other. If you were there you will remeber that show vividly.Then Tuzla Socce built the beach volley ball court and pool out back. Had Sunday volley ball chamionships against the russian officers. The airforce nurses traveled to Gemany weekly on med flights so brought us back Brats for the weekly parties. Brit intel house next door with a built in Bar. Spent alot of time running other guys around country they rotated in for area orientation and i was the tour guide. Then with the russians , Put up the Tent house there beside the russian med shack. Upon a senator visit i put up sign that said ELBE river 1945-1996 between the american compund and the Russians compund, old swinging rope bridge across it. We of course lived on the russian side. All other americans had to cross back over before dark hehehe, Man my liver barely survived that trip General order #1 my ass. Babe-e-Lina ya did that,,,, um mostly classified stuff nothing to report Set up the Teslic house and the Doboy house. My Team 011 was split between the two and had a Seal commander in Teslic man that sucked till he went home, then we drove the wheels off that mission. then he came back and tried to relieve me for impersonating an officer or some shit like having way to much fun. Team SGT with no adult supervision go figure. Did alot there and made a great deal of Serbian friends most probably all war criminals . Woudn't have traded places with you guys stuck on the bosnian side for anything however. Learned alot that we applied in Kosovo on later missions. Like drinking Slevo ugh

Big Army got upset when the wreckage was on display in front of the SOCCE for a while...(If I am aligning the right incident)

hdgb brought back some thoughts. In Sarajevo '96, behind the Hotel Bosna, I was curious why the French troops were fire-hosing and scrubbing the inside of all the guard towers. The answer was that they were taking over from the Pakistani Bn and there were feces and used condoms among all the nasty garbage inside and out stuck to the concertina fence. French troops cleaning it must have been nasty.

Back in Doboj we called slevo and pivo the "Evo Brothers" "Slee" and "Pee".

The good old days.

I am working with two former 10th guys down here in MARSOC with one more over in another section. We have some hilarious after work brews on occasion.

The Doboj house in this photo is the one that was bombed in '97. We eventually moved downtown into a doctor's residence in '98.
