What is GoogleEarth you ask?
 
GoogleEarth displays 3-D satellite photographs of the earth - you can create and share aerial photos of where you live.  You can rotate the satellite view of your home or other location like a video game.  You can zoom in on individual houses, see cars on the road - the detail is amazing.
 
You can download the free viewer program by  Clicking here.
 
I like the beta version - it works great for me.
 
Click the link below after you install GoogleEarth to see the photos.  GoogleEarth will start up and "fly" you to the location like you are looking out the window of a rocket.

Remember this? When you arrived at the site, you'd pay the bar something like $10 to join the club. That entitled you to $5 in free drinks on the night you joined and $5 on the night you PCSed out of the site. At 25 cents a drink, it got pretty wild on those two nights :-) 25 cent drinks included shots or beer - your choice. We only served the good stuff :-)

There were a couple of site songs they played in the bar on certain occasions - a B-side song from the Brain Salad Surgery album by Emerson Lake & Palmer that went "you're breaking my heart, you're tearin' it apart, so F**K YOU!" Another was "Leavin' on a Jet Plane" for people PCSing out. We'd all sing along.

The Karamursel chaplain caught us loading up the truck with liquor at the main base one day. He gave us a hard time about how much alcohol we consumed in a month. We didn't have the heart to tell him the truckload was only a week or two's worth for the site bar :-)
Remember AFCS (Air Force Communications Service) actually stood for Alcohol First, Communications Second.
