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 on base, I have not had a drink since Jan. 2nd, I'm not a slave to the bottle but I really could use one.
Almost halfway done here and then overseas finally. I don't know if I miss home, I just miss civilization and being able to go out when I want, at least look at a girl, there are none here. I'm sick of seeing dudes day in and out, all in uniform just walking everywhere, it's like a prison. Wait, no, in prison they have furnaces and boilers to keep you warm. You can make phone calls, I'm a bit ready to leave.
Good news is we might have 48 hours of liberty before we ship out, and the word is the battalion will be going to Vegas. That might be very cool if it happens, my platoon will have more fun than is legally allowed. So cross your fingers kids, make our Vegas trip come true!!
Back to the desert, time on the computer is up. Enjoy America, I know I will a lot more when this is done. Laters.
