Father's Day Pool Party

Pool Party

Now that Jim is back from Iraq, the members of the Swamp got together for a Father's Day pool party. Randy and Joe gave me a small, inflatable pool before I left on my 12-month "beach trip" to Kuwait, so I decided to put it to good use. Our barracks is surrounded by gravel that would pop the pool, so we were forced to use the concrete slab underneath the large air conditioners out front. The air conditioner gave the added benifit of shade, as well. We forwent a shower yesterday to contribute enough water to fill the pool, which we did by transporting water coolers full of very warm water (that's how it comes out of the tap these days) over to the pool.
The participants were (back row) John, Dave (with ACH), and Jim. I'm obviously up front.
It was great fun splashing around and I even spent some time mostly immersed in the small pool. We hung out until it got too hot (it was over 115 today) and then we bailed for some air conditioning.
