Good old Wheelus AFB, I was there in 65 - 66 same empty eye sockets and flies. Just out the back gate was a meat market which consisted of a camel caucus hanging in open air in one hundred plus temp, covered in flies. Butcher would slap the caucus to clear the flies, slice you off a steak wrap it in brown paper and and off Mohammed would go, anticipating that fine meal to come.
I’m glad to hear from someone from those long ago days. Hope you are well.
