Based Ops
06.27.06My ops are based. My new laptop was givin me some issues that turned out to be malicious or just plain mean software that didn’t agree with my OS, so I had to reformat which was a bummer, but at least it’s all werkin’ now. Only thing I really lost was a game I had installed back in the states and left the disks there. No big.
So things are heating up here…I mean in the way of weather. Oh and of course our newest TTP’s are freakin sweet, but I can’t mention those due to OPSEC and embarassment. I’ll just put out two words…Battle Buddy. If you’ve ever seen Gunner Palace, you might get a hint. Personally I find a sick humor in the whole thing, but that could be viewed both ways and might even have a negative influence on my image. Not that I have a pretty one, but I’m tryin to polish it after that last incident…the one where I was shat upon. Yah, that was no fun. I still repress those memories. *shudder*
Life is better now that I have nestled into my Pink Floydish status of being “Comfortably Numb”. Things aren’t any better or worse. Same ole, same ole. But at least now I can say to myself EVERY DAY…that there’s only 5 months left. 5 MONTHS!! That means we’re more than half way done with this thing! WoOt!! I look forward to getting off of work at around 7 in the evening and walking across the lot to my ‘88 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe. As I ease my weary body into my Mossy Oak seat cover I start up the engine and blast my ear drums to Kingdom come as I drive to my sweet new barracks complex to go lay down in my room on my mink blanket and have my music playing softly in the background…no generator, no annoying room mate who stinks…no dust pumping through my AC to corrupt my lungs…just good ole American air.
Speaking of lungs n stuff. I figure it’s gonna take a good month’s worth of Idaho-Air to fully clear my lungs of this Irak atmosphere. And maybe my bowels will return to normality as well. *crosses fingers* (ihopeihopehope)
Ah man…Papa Johns pizza at midnight…plenty of bee double ee double are you ens…and Sonics..oh and gun stores, I love those. Can’t wait to get all that back again.
So that’s enough for tonight…hopefully my dreams tonight are filled with sugar plum fairies and such.
“I’d like you to do me a favor. Look around you…take everything in…leave no mental stone unturned. Can you do that for me? Then…I want you to imagine what your life would be like had you been born blind.”
I leave you with your thoughts.




Going to the ‘comfortable’ place as you know is much needed after a day of missions.
Sorry you gotta be attached at the hip with a battle buddy, but atleast you got someone to hand you some **** paper if you runout!

AS - Hahah! A good point for sure. Glad to hear from ya!
SK - By all means don’t worry about me. Building a house is way more exciting. I still want to be able to build my own house some day, but I’m gonna have to live with my current party pad for a bit. I figure this lil thing will go toward financing my dream home some day.

“Party pad”? You’re sick!
And building a house is not always exciting, it’s downright frustrating.
