It looks as though you have appropriated some enemy weapons (the MG-42 and potato mashers) in your .30 cal pit. You know we actually found a Browning .30 cal in Iraq when I was there? I'm not sure what happened to it but I'm almost glad I don't know. A lot of historic weapons went to the torch simply because they weren't taking trophies back by that time (2004.)
I had a laugh at your tent city because I had to have a flashback to my own boot camp in 1995 and OCS in 1999. Same shelter halves that had been home away from home for GI's for most of the century. Take a look at this photo of my grandfather's from his ROTC training at Fort Knox in 1936.
