Pictures from INGBN 04/05(Pic heavy... duh)

[Tartantyco]

-I still haven't found the DVD with all the cool explosions and stuff but I'll keep looking. Meanwhile I'll post the pictures I managed to find. These are from my year in Ingeniørbataljonen(Engineers battalion), serving as a Storm Engineer. We had the good fortune of having a photographer in our company so there are some really good pictures here.

Ok, some background here for the not so Norwegian. That's the cavalry shield(I think) and the slogan usually says "VIKER FOR INGEN." Incidentally, Ingerniørbataljonen(Engineers Battalion) is shortened "INGBN". "VIKER FOR INGEN"/"INGBN". INGEN/INGBN. So, in the middle of the night some of the guys from my company took a ladder and some paint and changed the "e" to a "b." And so "VIKER FOR INGEN" became "VIKER FOR INGBN"("Viker for ingen" means roughly "Moves for noone." After our touch-up it said "Moves of Ingbn(That's us))

WE DID IT FOR TEH LULZ! Our company chief had a hard time trying to be mad at us.

This was in 04/05? I think I have worked with, not directly, 811 (the person) in Afghanistan a few years ago.

-I think 10-12 guys/girls and around 3-4 officers go to Afghanistan around '06. A couple of the officers had also recently returned from there that year.
