my brother got "stuck" in djibouti for quite a few months after his first tour in iraq. apparently his c.o. had ticked off a superior.Yah, I've seen their calls on it. They took an incredible beating, had no idea they were going up against USSF.
A friend of mine was recently posted in Djibouti at the Africom base - when I first heard he was deploying there I mentioned my concern as that part of the world isn't exactly stable. He laughed and said "I'll be on a base with over 4,000 USSF soldiers - I'll be safer there than you will be in your den watching TV..."
