Like fatboy I spent some time in Tunisia but a little later, around February 2002. Same deal though. 173rd used to do a semi-regular training exercise with the Tunisian SF called ATLAS DROP. We did a jump exchange, training exercise, hung out at the SF HQ in Bizerte and got to walk around the city a bit. I have some great pictures from the time but they are all at the house.
All I know is I had fun.
Did you guys use the trench complex that was there? Our platoon support by fire was on the ridge overlooking the trench, and we had a great view of a short round 60mm mortar that air burst over the ammo point. I'm fairly certain the Tunisian soldier guarding the ammo point shit himself when it detonated.
