Geep can also refer to a series of railroad locomotives
An example of a sheep-goat chimera, also often referred to as a geep.A sheep-goat chimera (sometimes called a geep in popular media) is a chimera produced by combining the embryos of a goat and a sheep; the resulting animal has cells of both sheep and goat origin. A geep should not be confused with a sheep-goat hybrid, which can result when a goat mates with a sheep.

Hi Sheila or Justins mom
James has been in Sig since Dec 23rd. He just bought a jeep so he can get around and he has also said the roads are horrible and has told me there is always geep in the road. (I'm told there like sheep, I should google to see for myself). I havent seen him in about 17 1/2 month.

James is still doing indot and working at the firing range. What is duty like for an MA in Sig.... Sounds safer than being ops in Bahrain is that true?

James left Bahrain Dec 22nd... he was granted leave to come home for xmas(for 30 days) but 2 days after Bahrain gave him all his flight info they had to tell him sorry Sigonella said no since the plane stops there on the way to the states he had to get off. So he arrived at 7 a.m. the 23rd in Sig and on duty by that night.

Thanks Robin I was afraid it would fall under the cell phone charges. I was hoping being military they would let it go with the landlines and be free :) I can call him now for cheaper and he's in Bahrain.
