Oh my got! You guys wouldn't believe what I've been doing. I am actually a litle ashamed of it ( Read more... )

Just got into Kuwait about 2 hours ago and already, I found the internet spot. It's an addiction, what can I say. I would love to tell you guys that it was a simple and painless transition, but it was anything but. Our flight got delayed 7 hours. Taking cat naps in between formations drained all of my excitement. The C-130 flight over here was ( Read more... )

"I'm leavin' on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again."

Yup, its about that time. The next time you hear from me, it will be from another country. Kuwait here I come!

See ya, space cowboys.

As I am reading Maxim's June issue, I come across an article about soldiers that have been deployed to this war, telling their war stories for all to read. I was intrigued as to the kinds of stories they were about to unveil to the public, and wonder if mine even compares to theirs. I read every single story and it suddenly hits home that a lot ( Read more... )

The more free time I have [And believe you, me, I have lots of it on 24HR guard] to contemplate about life after the Army, the more scared I become of it. It's a natural emotion one goes through, isn't it? I mean, a huge part of who and what I am is going to end soon. I won't have the comfort of security that I do now. That, I suppose frightens ( Read more... )

You know, its one thing to have to worry about all the crap that's going on over here, while I try to keep my ass from getting blown off, but its another when you have to deal with shit from back at home as well. Juggling wrenches with my weapon is hard enough, if I have to juggle anything more, somethings gonna fall down ( Read more... )

We are only about 19 days from going home, yet I still feel as if Father-time, himself, somehow, has slowed everything down, just to make me suffer even more. The days are long, the nights are way too short. Even mother-nature is getting into the action. Throwing 108-degrees-of-hot-scorching-sunshine-curve balls at us. Couple that with the fact ( Read more... )

I've just realized that I am not the best LJ-friend. I mean, I post lots of shit and try my damn-dest to reply to every comment, but it has come to my attention that I am getting more than I am giving. I rarely have enough time to catch up on all of my FList's entries, so I usually try to at least screen most of them. I read one here and there ( Read more... )

Uh oh. Its been only two days and already it has begun. For those of you with prior military experience, I am sure you can really relate to this entry, as I am also sure you have gone through this, one way or another. For those that haven't; chill out, take a seat and be prepared to be learned on the etiquette of being in the field ( Read more... )
