Suicide is painless….
However, suicidal ideations isn’t.
It has been a loooooong while since I’ve posted. It’s not that I don’t care, it is that I had zero motivation. I’ve learned a lot about myself over the past n months, n, of course being the number of months since my last coherent post. The most important thing I’ve learned is that if anyone is responsible for ( Read more... ) -
Six years of my life, Or: My sweet Army, what happened to you?
I started this thing to share photos and experiences from my life. I really did. I also never meant for this to be a gripe board, because that isn’t something that draws viewers, nor is it really that productive. But, as one can plainly see, I’ve not been posting all that much since I have left Germany. This new gig as a recruiter sucks. I am ( Read more... ) -
Really? Fuckin really?
So, our main instructor just got quarters because he has pinkeye (fuckin eeewwww) and we’ve had a couple “subs” since that’s happened.

He showed up at 1700, and got reamed for not showing up at 0600. Based off of that, I showed up at 0600 this morning, and found out that my class has a *real* report time of ( Read more... ) -
My station had a PT test this morning...
And, no one is back yet. I have no keys, so I get to sit in the parking lot. Thank you for paying your taxes. -

Last walk around.
I have less than 48 hours left in Germany. If I had been leaving immediately after my first deployment, or even just after the last one, I would’ve been sad. Other circumstances, plus the fact that I *really* need to get on American soil have changed my feelings about this country. All things considered, I did enjoy most of my time here. ( Read more... )
