Stupid Iraq
I hate Iraq.
So far in the past month, I've seen things people shouldn't have to see, I've done things people shouldn't have to do, and I've been sick in ways that people shouldn't have to be sick.
I had to change out 220 peices of track in 8 hours in 130degree weather, direct sunlight... burned the crap out of myself, suffered from severe dehydration and heat exhaustion. Got sick because of it, had "The Sprints" (diarrea *or however you spell it* so bad that you sprint to the bathroom in hopes that you don't have to throw away another peir of underwear... and possibly shirt.... and socks....) lol, luckily the bathroom here is only out my bedroom, down the stairs, out the front door, 30 feet away from the building, up some more stairs, in a door, and down a hall to find an unoccupied (and hopefully clean) stall........
yeah... .close huh???
ok ok ok enough of that....
Yeah, managed to get into two firefights in the time span of a week, confirmed....5 dead I think (no american injuries/casualties), ummm found a CRAP load of bomb making materials, and mortars, and machine gun ammo, so yeah..... the guys around our area are HURTING BAD.... we just dealt them a HUGE blow to their arms supply....
makes me happy... oh yeah, and we're doing it again and again and again and again and again for the next week or so..... so yeah, Terrorist-Joe if you're reading this "SUCK IT!!!! LOSER!!! HAHAHAHAHA"
Yeah.... going on leave in 5 days....... should be home in 6 or 7.... and I get to spend a couple weeks with the fam, tell them war stories about getting blown up, shooting terrorists, dodging shrapnel and bullets, and man other fun things that we do as a part of our daily routine... sounds like fun huh? yeah I know, it's so cool...
Anyways, this kick as kit has gotta go, limited internet time, and gotta wake up early in the morning for more army type stuff...
Luv you all, and send you more info when I can...
