My name's Tom, been a Packer Backer since I got out of the Air Force in 1985. Married with 5 kids ( 3 of which are almost as old as some of you). Only 2 at home now, 1- 15 year old boy, and 1- 12 year old girl that played football with the Nekoosa Knights last year( middle linebacker). I live in Central Wisconsin and am the one and only mechanic for the local taxi service and handicapped vans.

What do they refer to as "The Rock" these days? I spent a year in Iceland and at the time that was "The Rock".

A place in Afghanistan

"vikesrule"

"wischeez".... spent a year in Iceland and at the time that was "The Rock".

Keflavik?

Yup, 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (F-4C models, 1976-1977)

I wonder why they call Afghanistan "The Rock"? It's more like the "Hole".
