What is your strongest memory of your time serving with the Multinational Force & Observers? Is it good/bad? Do you miss it?

I am glad to say that my strongest memory of my time in the MFO is of the Sunrises and Sunsets at South Camp, which were always beautiful.

I haven't had the pleasure, but I would volunteer to go if given the opportunity. Have you read this recent news story? http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/01/20/463616876/a-place-where-u-s-troops-are-very-close-to-isis

A Place Where U.S. Troops Are Very Close To ISIS

U.S. peacekeeping troops have been based for decades in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, where the greatest danger was often sunburn. But with extremists now nearby, the mission has become far riskier.

I was in North Camp, but made plenty of trips to South Camp. I would have to say my best memories were all during my travels to Israel while I was there though.

Enjoyed the time, but don't really miss it. Each tour anywhere has its up and downs and this one was no different. Lots of great memories but biggest was the Huey to Black Hawk transition.

I miss the sunrise, futball games in the gym, camaraderie of my teammates, and darts on Thursday night.
