    I was there for a while last year. One of the most built up bases in Iraq. You will like it there.

    I wouldnt consider that place a deployment. More like a paid vacation. They have like 8-9 different fast food places. several dfacs.. huge ass px.. etc.. Oh and a shit load of hot ass air force chicks. When I got medevac'd out of Iraq I was in balad for a week. It was awesome. Paved roads, concrete sidewalks.. and even red lights.. haha.

    Never been but I heard about the place from AF guys I work with. I would love to go but I think we just go to Bagram Airfield when we get hurt here in Kabul.
