There is a fucking piece of schrapnel from that stupid bomb working it's way out of my back. It's the size of a thumbtack and it's irritating the piss out of me that I can't just reach back there and rip it out.

Well, back froma loveley week in the field where we froze every night and I got strep throat. I survived on triscuits and water because MRE's suck.

Less than a month till we go over, and at this point, I'd really rather be there doing my job, the training here is getting monotnous. Day in day out, I'm actually enjoys sleeping in the fridge that...

What kind of gear do you need, what can you get that you need through the government (GSA), do you need NSN's?

What kind of privately purchased gear do you need?

Trust me, I can help.

It's fucking cold!!! I hate the desert, it's freezing at night. We have no heat at all, we just sleep in this tin can that turns into a fridge at night. I cannot wait to go to war to get warm, I'm sure I've said that a hundred times in the past few weeks. We have no free time ever and no places to go...

Okay, I'm in LA laying over for three hours until the flight to Palm Springs. SG headquarters is only a half hour away!!!! Of course I would never make my next flight if I went there beacause I would be kneeling in the street with lots of flowers and a spanish guitar trying to serenade Erin to come outside and marry me. Hmmmm.....that would end...

Sounds like you got the right attitude bro just take it one day at a time. As far as the gear goes if I where you I would save your reciepts. I am not sure how the Corp does it , but the Army has a program called RFI (Rapid fielding initiative). This is where they issue the soldiers coming into theater the latest gear. So you might be getting reissued some of the stuff you bought. I know you got a lot of support back home but hit me up if you need anything

I'm now deployed, no home for a year, very different. I'm sitting in processing in North Carolina right now, and then I'm outta here on Monday. Everyone is really, REALLY, nice hear, it's fucking wierd. But we are going to a very shitty place, so I'll appreciate it.

Leaving home was hard, family cried a lot, but I was able to keep it together. Anyway,...

3 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes until the big push. Today is my last shift as a firefighter for at least a year, there is a wierd vibe at work, we're trying to have fun, but shit looms above us. We're eating killer food all day which rocks. I have to secure my locker before I leave and pack up my blues, very strange.

Luckily,...

Zelda's, Village Pub, or The Beer Hunter is about as good as it gets. But FUCK IT!!!!!!! Mexico is less than three hours away at least! biggrin ARRR!!! biggrin ARRR!!! biggrin puke

10 more days, and where am I? At work, where else would I be, I thought of taking this last month off but fuck it! I'd be so horribly bored. People keep giving me this depressing look of concern everytime I say goodbye now, damn, they act like it's Vietnam, but statistically, I have very good odds in my favor, plus, well, remember Robert Duvall...
