Chris' Deployment Journal

Sgt Briggs fires up the steaks on the 50-gallon drum cum grill. Note the University of Texas El Paso t-shirt, which many of the guys got during the Boise State/UTEP game we attended while training at Ft. Bliss.

Since I'm nearly eating vegetarian here (ironically the chow hall meat does not agree with me yet the local stuff goes down just fine), I normally wouldn't have eaten a big fat steak. But since it was something different, I just had to indulge. Tough to cut that sucker with plastic-ware though, I can tell you that.

And Steakfest '06 will be held IN IDAHO!
