Getting Close To The End/ How Will I Re-Integrate
Well, It's almost done, 12 months have gone by and I have a couple more to go. The upshot is that as of the 15th of this month I will be making an extra $1000 on my paycheck. The Downside, now I have to figure out how to re-integrate myself into society.Aside from my girlfriend, her family, mine, and the people who have been here, no one really understands how it is here, what goes on. I mean honestly, what am I going to talk to anybody about. How are Civilians going to be able to relate to the experiences I have had, experiences that have changed me, hopefully not too much, but they have changed me in ways I might not even know about right now. For some, talking about it becomes like bragging, there are those people out there that tell fanicful stories of what they did here, LIES!!!! Why lie about this, to make yourself look tough, to get laid by some naieve girl who believes your lies. And most of those people who lie about it here, have never seen anything remotely shocking, they were for lack of a better word or phrase, in the rear with the gear, i.e. Didn't do shit! I can only hope that no one really wants to talk about it, besides those who know me, a stranger would not even know any changes have taken place.

Why There Isn't Any Nice Stuff For Soldiers In Iraq
Because of fucking stupid, lazy, ignorant, self-important people.
How hard is it to not break nice stuff and to take care of something?
Honestly, just because you are deployed (You signed up for it asshole!!)
and your girlfriend/wife is cheating on you (shouldn't have married/been with her if that is the case) Don't go ruining shit for other people just because you are pissed off because YOU are stupid. IE. Kicking holes in doors, breaking shower heads, breaking sinks and toilets. We all have to use that stuff asshole.
If something is broken, tell the people who fix it for fucks sake, don't continue to use the broken thing, or to break it further.
How hard is it to put toilet paper on a roll holder? Apparently here in Iraq there are people who can't do it, but I think it is just laziness. How hard is it to flush the toilet, or even hit it for that matter.
I'd really hate to see some of these peoples families/homes/cars, because I am resonably sure that said things would be fucked up beyond all belief.
SO finally, STOP BEING STUPID AND LAZY AND WORTHLESS, YOU'RE DEPLOYED, DEAL WITH IT, AND STOP BEING A LITTLE WHINEY BITCH!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Christmas In Iraq
It's not too bad, granted I am not with my family, it is cold, and I'm surrounded my Muslims, but I do have my extended family, My Band Of Brothers if you will. So all in all it isn't bad, If I had to be stuck somewhere shitty, I would pick these guys to be stuck with. Merry Christmas to you and Yours.

How do you know when an Iraqi has been in your bathroom?
There are footprints on the toilet seat and no paper missing from the roll.
True Story, they stand on the toilet, go figure, wierdos.

I want to watch the rain with you
It rained today, and all I could seem to think about is a blue eyed girl in Nevada. The rain here is great, it's kinda warm but not too warm. It is depressing though, but not too bad. It would be perfect rain to splash around in and get soaking wet and then go curl up under a blanket. I miss you Babe.

Firefight Yesterday Painting Today
You would never know that I was involved in a firefight yesterday, kinda scary but not too bad, and not my first. Firefight then painting a TOC (Building where POAGS work)
Give me action or give me Nothing.
So far the count in up to 103 IEDs in the last 5 months. that is alot of lives saved, not to mention saving the army tons of money.
I love you guys, and to all the people who support the army and appreciate what we do, Punch a protester.(See Myspace- Shipwrecked Pirate) Until something else happens.......... Peace

Am I there Yet
Who knew getting out of Iraq would be harder than getting in. I am due to leave here sometime today, thank god. 18 days at home, I can't wait. The most fun part of this whole thing I think will be the road trip. I am taking it with a ravishing young lady whose company I enjoy immensely.
Then it's off to meet her parents and then it's back home. Can't wait.

Causing Traffic Jams Is Very Entertaining
SO we do route clearance for other people here in Iraq, basically we clear the road of bombs and what not emplaced by insurgents. We in doing so we have to shut down both lanes of traffic, well this causes mass mayhem seeing as Iraqis don't use lanes at all. They just drive all over the place. Most of the time they go around us in the opposite lane, so you have traffic going both ways in the southbound or northbound lanes. Well when we shut down both you have it going both ways in both lanes. Very entertaining to watch 300 plus cars trying to navigate in both lanes.

LOL you have to love those kids, I almost died laughing, it feels goods to get letters like that, b/c it make you laugh and it shows that someone cares. (side note) The child did have good handwriting, but no picture was included.

Iraq is really beautiful, when you aren't getting shot at
Went out on a mission last night, early afternoon. It started to rain, it cleared up and got hot again. We were on a route that took us through some hot spots, nothing new to us though. Took some small arms fire, returned it, continued mission. Found an IED, a 120mm mortar, and a 130mm mortar. Yeah that would have ruined someones day. All in all we did well, no causualties, no injuries. Got a day off tommorow supposedly, so I'll be sending your package then (you know who you are) Miss Ya. P.S. I still have both my eyes and all my mental capacities, I think........LOL

Wow, You have to love kindergardeners
So the guys at the unit got this package in the mail last night, and it was pictures and letters from kindergardeners in Washington. How do you write a letter telling little kids that their little drawings and letters had a profound effect on you. I actually almost cried. But then I remembered that Soldiers can cry too. But I didn't, so now I am working on a letter for all those kids.

Wow, the army needs new planes
So, all the c-17s that we are supposed to be fyling to baghdad in are broken down. This raises serious concerns about the condition of the aircraft on which we are about to embark.LOL but I'm not worried, Well maybe a little but I would have to say that I am more afraid of mud that a little engine trouble with a plane lol. BY the way, this goes out to a certain someone, I WANT TO KISS YOU TOO!!!!!! MISS YA BABE oh and by the way I have the address for you, but unfortunantly it is on a piece of paper in my C bag which is currently in Iraq. So as soon as I can I will shoot that to you and we can work on the shirt issue OK?

Self Improvement is so much fun that it hurts!
So, I started going to the gym here in Kuwait, been going about 30-40 hours a weeks depending on the schedule. I started with a mere 180 on the bench and and have since increased my max capability to 240 lbs. The mass is coming along as well, I went in weighing 155 and now weigh about 172. I don't think that I will have a problem reaching the goal weight of a muscled out 200lbs. I have about 5 months to reach 180 before I come home for two weeks. I can't wait. I'll need a tan by then anyways. Las Vegas Here I come!!! Yeahhhhhh!!!!

Kuwaiti Oil Fire Rule!!!!!
So yesterday I was on a detail to unload vehicles at a port in Kuwait. Well as we are unloading there is the sound of a small explosion, upon looking at the sky and enormous column of flame is shooting out of a venting tower. A venting tower is used by oil refineries to burn off excess gases. Well anyway a column of flame about 250 to 300 feet tall was shooting out of this vent, and about ten seconds after this happens a fireball shoots up out of the vent and lands on the ground immediatly starting a large oil fire. LOL Very entertaining. No more potty humor as of yet, the camp I am on does not have nearly as many DirtY Infantry Pirates on it

Toilet paper flies very fast in a sandstorm
The worst sandstorm yet hit last night, and it was AWESOME!! I never thought I would see a full roll of toilet paper just floating through the air, of course I assume it was a full roll seeing as it was more that 20 feet long. Still it was impressive, along with the lightning arching across the clouds, the thunder and the fact that I have never seen or felt sand propelled at such high velocity. All in all a rather impressive sight.
