Maybe it's just the fact I'm on my first cup of coffee and I'm not thinking clearly, but hearing about South Park being censored genuinely pisses me off. Not that I care that much about South Park. I don't watch it regularly, and when I do catch a bit, it is genuinely crude and stupid humor. I do respect that consistently, South Park has held ( Read more... )

There has been a lot in the news the past few days about PFC McGinnis here in Kosovo, but then again, our cable provider is the AFN (Armed Forces Network) and the Pentagon Channel, so I don't know if anyone at home has even heard about him or know why he's in the news ( Read more... )

Hey all. Time for the latest update on how we are using tax payer dollars. I'm still on sight shift, which always makes things interesting. For abut three mission we were saddled with an interpreter who does his job well when we make him. Otherwise, he sits in the trucks and complains about how cold and leaky the HMMWV's are. We all know this ( Read more... )

Nothing really exciting to post. I've been on nights since I got back so seeing daylight like I have today is a bit of a novelty. *sigh* I really love what they call out refit days here. Yesterday was one, and you would think that since it is essentially a day off, I would be able to get some sleep and stuff. No, forgot, they changed the name ( Read more... )

 "May you live ininteresting times."  Isn't that like a Chinese curse?  *grin*  Well, looks like I'm getting my chance to...

Tomorrow is the big day here - the birth of a new nation.  For the first time in history Kosovo will be an independent state.  At least at 1800 when the official announcement is made.  It's already getting nuts here and ( Read more... )

Twelve days and counting...
Let's see if I can manage a longer entry this time.  Doggone being responsible anyway....
Ahhh, who am I kidding.  You all know me better than that.  You all know that I tend to be better at being responsible for other people than myself...

So, how;s it been going here...well, I haven't killed anyone yet and no one has ( Read more... )

Well, 15 days 'til leave starts, but whos counting?  Me dammit!  Me!!  Add to that, my squad leader is back in only 9 days, and I have a PT test in 13 days.  Ever notice how sometimes nothing is really happening except waiting for something to happen?  Well, that's pretty much life here, "hurry up and wait" and it's getting to be a real bore.  We' ( Read more... )

Well, I find mysef with a few extra minutes before having to dive into mission preparations. (I now only have one more chapter of Networking Plus to complete and a test to take and my classes for this session are DONE!!! Then I need to find out about certification tests...)
Anyway, I'm running tonight's mission and tomorrow night's, so I get the ( Read more... )
