Subject: [TN] NTC Friday post on Thursday...

I know this is Thursday, but my company is giving us the day off
tomorrow for
Good Friday. So I have to do my Friday NTC post today.

I was sent this picture that shows another thing that our troops have to
endure in Iraq. This picture is not for the squeamish. Go to:

http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com and look at "Camel Spiders"

They are nocturnal, and have been known to crawl into soldiers tents
and/or
sleeping bags at night. Although not poisonous, they can give a rather
painful
bite. I know these exist, because I remember being told when I was in
the Navy
and we were at Bandar Abbas Air Base In Iran, the Lockheed contractors
that
were there told us to always shake our flight boots out before we put
them on
in the morning to make sure there were no Camel Spiders in them.

I can't imagine being in a sleeping bag with one!!
