I wish I had more time. I wish I could just sit down and post. Write down everything I want to. But nope. 5 sentence entries, every fuckin time ( Read more... )

3 QRF missions in 4 nights. Ridiculous.
Memorial Day? Nobody cares. Well. Nothing's being said about it. I'm sure everyone cares. Everyone's thinking a little extra hard about the fallen today, deep down inside. I sure am.
I'm tired. Sweaty. I miss home.
