Someone made a mess at the barracks I stay at and the battalion commander got a call about it. So, for an indefinite period of time, we have to be up and ready for a complete barracks inspection at 0530 every day, including weekends. Yay ( Read more... )

Over a year since I posted in here, but maybe it is time to get started again. This is one of the few decent websites the army doesn't block at work, so I should probably make use of it. Germany is now behind me and I am stationed at Ft. Bragg. I belong to the 22nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, under US Forces Command. It seems like a ( Read more... )

It's never a good thing when someone you know gets hit by an IED.

Well, winter is pretty much here in Germany, and since we haven't had any snow yet I'm fairly disappointed. Hopefully, sometime in the next three months we'll get buried by an avalanche from the sky. That would make me happy ( Read more... )

So it has been one year since I have come to Germany. For the most part it has been a pretty good experience, though I have to say that I am looking forward to being in a new unit.

I haven't had that happen to me ( Read more... )

Every once in a while my livejournal friends page gets blocked by whatever thing they have here that blocks stuff. It's weird because it only happens every once in a while and usually only lasts for a few days. Three days ago this very thing happened to me. It started working once again today and I was really excited to read up on everything ( Read more... )

Watched Slackers here at the barracks for the first time since I saw it in theatres during high school. Just as funny. A pretty underrated comedy if you ask me ( Read more... )

So last week, the other radio guy here took leave, and since I am the only other person who can operate the board, I had to do both radio shows every day. That's 8 hours of just radio, on top off all the other crap I had to get done as well. Not only that, but they are reconfiguring all of our servers and nothing has worked for the last two weeks ( Read more... )
