I have been pondering on whether or not to go back to Iraq. It isn't like a have a real choice, but I have learned a few ways to get out of it. I mean, I have been in the Marines for 3 years now. I have gone as far as I can go professionally in it. I have been to the sandbox for a combined time of a year and a half. That is close to 3 full tours for USMC infantry. I don't like where the war is going, but I cannot claim that I am a consciencious objector atr this point. I believed in what we did 3 years ago when I joined. Now though, the way it is being run is pathetic. I am in a great unit and I love every guy I am with. They really are my brothers now. I am torn. My whole attitude towards the Marine Corps right now is just sour. I want this last year to go by really quickly. I have so many good plans for when I get out, and I really don't feel like getting a leg or arm blown off when I am this close to getting out. Does anyone understand what I mean!?

P.S. - I am growing a mustache now. It is rare these days. Should I Tony Orlando it, or give it the ol' Magnum PI?
