havn't written in a while, but let's review the year ( Read more... )

The internet cafe doesn't have a line. WTF? Is there a strip bar that just opened up on base that I'm not aware of? Normally this place is packed. Oh well, no complaints here ( Read more... )

the new kids are here in town... taking over for the old guys. We're going to be doing area security for camp fallujah for real soon. kinda nuts... we're ready, and we're ready to kick ass. It's been pretty quiet here lately, but we have a ton of things we're going to have to deal w/ until january. Life is good here so far. Sorry if this seems ( Read more... )

lots of food, went in mass numbers to the chow hall.

i ate all the traditional stuff. i'll write some more later.

Updating once again. I'm not quite sure what to update about. It's Thanksgiving. Doesn't feel like thanksgiving. This is my favorite family holiday of the year. This is the one day I knew I'd miss the most. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I hope they have some turkey in the chow hall tonight.

Just got back from fun outside the wire. Good times all around, as I and everyone in my squad have all their fingers and toes. It was sooo good to get back here and have a hot meal. It happened to be seafood night that night, so we ended up having prime rib and lobster... hell yeah! That was the best tasting meal I'd probably ever had ( Read more... )

Made friends w/ a Civillian contractor. He's an air force officer in the reserves. Helped him out w/ his camera array. I won't go in to detail but... hot damn... we've got some cool toys on this base... the end.

oh great, just what I needed to bring in the winter months. I guess I'd been spoiled lately by the "modearate" temperature. Today slowly but surely the sky filled up with a grainy fog, and before we knew it there was an orange haze over everything from the fine dust mist that surrounded us going up 1,000 feet high in the sky ( Read more... )

Why did God have to torture me by putting two of the hottest females I've seen right in front of me in the computer line? It's not fair I tell you! I saw another gorgeous one (this one a navy corpsman) on the way back from chow. I mean, I suppose I could make moves. They're all within my pay grade, but I just don't think it's professional ( Read more... )
