Another Awesome Gift From a Blog's Follower!

This time from Pergite, an autographed Afghan flag along with two uniform patches. I thank you friend for your service and for this incredible gift!

I took a picture before taking everything to the frame shop. The shop owner asked me today what these flags are all about. How do I explain my luck of getting these cool gifts from you guys?



Cheers,

    Ever thought about that we actually secretly could be on the payroll of your frame shop owner? ;)

    Great that you enjoy the flag, and as it says: "Keep up the good work!"

    Cool gifts! The patch seems to have some kind of tigerstripe camo on it, what kind of uniform do they fit on in Afghanistan?

    The ISAF/NATO patch is some kind of standard patch that afaik is issued/ordered by NATO, though every country seem to have their own colours on them. The german patch is blue for example. I just find it funny to have NATO printed on my arm, as a non-nato country, especially since the larger NATO countries does not have NATO written on them anywhere. I sort of miss the old ISAF patch though.

    Anyway, a swedish newspaper have a slideshow with some nice photos taken this autumn at one of our hotspots.

    Thanks for your comments.

    I'm looking forward to get this flag and patches hanging with the previous flag.

    JC, you should put up a pic of the flags once they're both up on your growing wall of honor. How cool!

    Hi tFS!

    Yeah, let me see what I can do.

    Off topic: how is "that" game coming? :)

    Cheers,

    Hey there JC! "That Game" is coming along VERY nicely! Still some work to do but there are many many improvements over the CMSF games. All the testers LOVE it. I still have no idea on a release date, but it gets better every day. I think it may be the most popular and most highly rated combat mission game yet. ;)

    I shall not be out done. I promise your next gift will be Javalin! Or perhaps a Caiman...

    We have rather strict arms and animal exports regulations so I will probably not be able to compete with neither fire-power nor teeth.

    Do your significant other need a new burka perhaps? ;)
