Why would you want to get out of McChord? I'd love to be in the Northwest......and I've never even been there.

Don't ever call anyone an inek (cow) or gipsy (gypsy). You could get a knife up your rear end.
Cok fena (choke fee nah) means very bad Cok ala (choke a lah) means very good. ************************************************************************ Have you never researched Turkey in any books? Never looked at the topography or climate? It's a very depressing, Third World country with abject poverty. It's very arid, mountainous to the east, looks like Iraq would look, if you turned it on it's side, and replaced the sand with dirt. It's part of the Steppe Plateau, with grasslands, instead of forests. The history is there, if you are into that. Cultures vary from East to West. The people (peasants) are genuine, friendly, inviting, and suppressed by corrupt organizations and government. I would take our NW Rainforests and Marine West Coast environment any day over Turkey, except as a tourist, wanting to look at the Antiquities. "VIA UNA COR UNUM" |

I thought the jargon was Choke-feena!Or feenar(roll the "r") Anywho, I thought Turkey was pretty good, given the cultural setting. At Incrilik (we called it the "Lick") they took pretty good care of the troops. DOD spent BIG duckets on housing! It became a showplace for the use of materials found "in country", driving the cost of building way down! But it really depended on how you adapted. I was in Greece and it took me 18 whole months to adapt to that country. Don't know whether I did it that well, but I still brought one of'em back with me! And when she got here......I SENT HER RIGHT BACK, TOO!  |

That's what you get.  I think the ah or er is a dialect issue. Most Turks, I was around, spoke in the way I pronounced the words or phrases. That's my indoctrination. Who knows? Like I said, except for the Antiquities, I wouldn't want to go back to Steppe country, except maybe Mongolia. "VIA UNA COR UNUM" |
