I hope that was a calm time during your service so you could enjoy it somewhat. I think I'll just stick with the Appalachian mountains.I was stationed near Izmir at the foot of the Taurus mountains. Some of us would do an occasional hike into the mountains. Beautiful scenery and you would normally see a camel caravan or two. Another time, we went way up in the mountains For a week or so on a mission. the villages had no electricity and we would see sheep herders with their flocks and dogs. At night you would hear the wolves howling.
Like anything, there was both good and bad. I'm glad I was there though. It was a great chance to see and work with another culture and to see how good we have it here. In line with your old job, there was a lot of wild boar there. The big shots were always visiting and playing war games so they could go hunting.I hope that was a calm time during your service so you could enjoy it somewhat.
