If you ever shopped at Eagle Base you would have seen me. 5,000 soldiers wore camoflaged BDU's and one nut wore an NYPD uniform with a detective badge. :-)

Hi Mike! You CIVPOLs were always a funny lot
- I mean that in a nice way, you guys threw best parties ever!.
I left Bosnia early '97. I'd been involved in the whole UN/NATO thing since '93, so yes, I know the place very well. I was at Tuzla airbase during the UN days before the cavalry rolled in and turned the place into Eagle Base.
Yup, those were interesting times ...
