Example:
Worst: FOB Hope, Sadr City, Iraq. I was in a port-o-potty for a week after sharing some Iraqi food.
Best: Bagram Airfield Afghanistan. I had my own room about 100 feet away from the building I worked in.

Iraq dirt in OIF 1 was the best and worst living conditions I ever had during a deployment.

Amen CAmenities had to sleep on the hot hood to HMMWV. I was the gunner, and I couldn't sleep on my 2" troop strap. The blast plates were a joke as well. The only thing they covered well was the bezel rack when they were closed. It's demotivating to have to count the paint chips after a mission to see if they were still serviceable for the next mission. Finally got a cot after we setup home base at Camp Speicher outside Tikrit. No hot meals, no showers, and water rationing. In 140 degree weather. Supply guys said it was too dangerous to get supplies, like water, but we were running missions I'm the same area every day.

I was on this side of the flowers each time so I have to say...All of them are/were the best.

I am sure all the CIB / CMB holders are having a good laugh right now.

Most those CIB and CMB were next to me in the port-o-potty. That is from a CAB holder. *winkyface*
