MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] 2 World Records - prvrt - 04-01-2009 Way to go! and thanks for your service. I also was there in 91'. USMC 2nd MTBT support for the Army and their M1A1's. I never had the chance to fish over there, but I reallyyyyyyyy wanted to. The persian gulf looked awsome. Living in a fox hole 200 miles from the coast did not give many opportunitys to fish.
