Agreed. When I was at Kirkuk in '05, I drove over to the Army side to go to the gym. When I was at COB Adder/Tallill/Ali, I lived in CHUs on the Army side and preferred that more. I occasionally ventured over to the AF compound to work out in the early mornings or to the rec center to hang with some other AF people I knew. There was no code needed.

I guess in 08-09 there was a code to get through the gate to the AF compound at Tallil. I work with an AF guy who was there at the same time - we just didn't know each other then - and he said that he went there twice. Once he and another guy walked up as a group of AF were walking in and said "Hey could you hold the door for us?" and another time his friend reached around through the gate and somehow unlocked it lol. But every time I saw the AF they were always in PTs. Yeah - we were jealous lol.

Yeah we had CHUs at Adder/Tallil but I actually liked living in the tents at Warrior. We were right there near the PX area and the CSM, BC stayed over by our TOC. That was really nice lol. But they had it set up to where they split the tents into two sides and only put six people on each side so we'd have room because they knew we'd be there for awhile until the CHUs were done...but then we had to move down south. But the tents weren't that bad really. I worked night shift so after about 0700 no one was really around; it was pretty decent.
