9 MONTHS
02.28.08I have less than a year left in the Army.
Just wanted to get that out there. It’s therapeutic, heh heh.
What I look forward to the most upon my ETS:- Mullets
- Long Drunken Nights With No PT in the morning
- The ability to go get a job at a fast food chain…just to tell them you quit.
- Self prescribed profiles…own pace and distance exercise anyone?
- No more “Barracks Rat” lifestyle…now its just “House Rat”, but I prefer “Pale Kid”
- Job Hunting…oh wait
- Paying for Dental and Medical…aw dangit
- Health insurance fees…sunuva!
- Taxes…crap!
Ok ok ok, so you lose a lot in the transition. But at least I’ll have my VA Loan. Interest free house payments anyone? Yes please.
I still can’t quite fathom why mullets are a good thing.

Oh heck yes! How forgetful of me! I gotta remember to have Gerogia on a hold over flight home. HAHA! For a good 8 hours, kinda like that one on mid tour leave.
Sheesh! That was a nightmare hangin’ round in Mini Apples for a ten hour holdover on my way back from Irak. I’d compare that to having salt rubbed in an open papercut.

Dood, you should put one of them pregancy 9 month countdown widgets on yer blog. But instead of having a baby you will birth the gooey wetness of your new found freedom.
Oh yea… got Devil Wears Prada: Plagues the other day. Pretty much melted my face off.

Mullet? Heck, Surefire, I didn’t know you liked fish. You need to head on down south and check out the Interstate Mullet Toss where you have to throw a fish from Alabama across the stateline into Florida. Yep, it’s a lot of fun. Maybe you can make it an annual event when you get out of the army, unless of course that gets delayed by the dreaded “stop-loss”. Yuck! Wash my mouth out with soap.
Anyway, check out the Mullet Toss here>>>

Get yourself a mohawk, goat-tee and go get a job at Walmart. Then tell customers if it ain’t on the shelf we ain’t got it! Smile as they frown at you in displeasure.

My father served 30 years in the US Army. I support all of the troops no matter where they are as does my blog.
And to the idiot above, he can go to hell. Respect the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and Air Force people who are dying out there, no matter what you feel about our involvement !
Be careful my friend and come home safe and be emotionally well too, if you can.

George - Thank you for your support and comment, but you must have misinterpreted something someone said. There is no hostility in any of the previous comments. Everyone here is a friend.
Thanks for stoppin’ by!
