Ok, so here I am, just chilling in Iraq after a rousing game of volleyball with the boys. Checking myspace I have a new friend request. It is from little 16 year old girl and I was all WTF ( Read more... )

Well, a few nights ago was my first air assault mission. What does this mean? Well we waited until late at night and then rode helicopters to visit a bad guys house. We started kicking in doors and everything. Unfortunatly none of the bad guys were home (it was their house though and given what we found they were clearly bad) so all we ( Read more... )

So, the other day they finally let me go outside without a babysitter. It is really exciting to finally be doing the job I've been training to do for the past 5 years. Even though it isn't technically what I've been trained to do and is boring and monotanous ( Read more... )

Well, I made it to Iraq safe and sound. I seem to have a good platoon with an outstanding platoon sergeant and NCO's. Needless to say it is hot over here ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend wasn't too bad. Unfortunately it began in rather poor cheer. The past month I met a girl who had just moved to Nashville. Great girl, easily the most amazing and attractive girl who talked to me for more than a week. For 3 weeks it went great, then after that she pretty much all but stopped talking to me. She was working so ( Read more... )

So we went to Nashville this weekend. The awsome part about it this time is we got a room so everyone was free to close out the bars and get as drunk as possible. Which we did with great success. Unfortunately I've been fighting a stomach thing for about the past 1/2 a week and Friday was fun but Saturday I soldiered up but simply couldn't get ( Read more... )

So, my buddy and I were driving up to Nashville (that isn't really news these days) when we came across a truck that on the box on the back it had a map drawn on the back of it. It had a picture of Idaho with a star in the Southwest and an arrow to Tenessee. It said "moving, gas donations welcome." The truck had Ada County plates ( Read more... )

Ok, so there is this line of CD's called the Pick'n on Series in which they take a CD and do bluegrass tributes of various bands. The other day I found one to the Offspring. It is rediculous, but I kinda like it ( Read more... )

I left Ft. Benning for a good long while, thank God. I went to Jessica Yazzalino's wedding down in Florida. That was without a doubt the most fun I've had in recent memory ( Read more... )

Before I get into the topic of this post I’ll do a little catching up. After ranger school I took a week off. I was actually working, but all I had to do was show up for PT, then a 0900 and a 1300 formation. I told them I couldn’t make the 1300 everyday, so I ended up getting off work at 0900 the last 3 days of last week ( Read more... )
