a picture says...well you know.

I have finnaly found a minute to throw together some photos, hope everyone is well. I have been super busy and thats a good thing, the time is actually passing at a decent pace. These pics are a culmination of events over the past 4 months; missions, barracks life and a bit of humor thrown in there. I have more that should make there way on the blog soon. As we prepare to start our sixth month in the sandbox I wholeheartedly believe the combat theater breeds drama, this place is like a violent episode of days of our lives. I know, I know, its a stresful enviroment but if you heard some of the ridiculous events that occur on a daily basis you would assume they were made up. Suprisingly the missions are the only thing that keep many of us from going crazy as an outhouse rat! Oh, and as soon as we finally settle in somewhere...time to move. Many times I wonder what I will put on my resume when I eventually make my exit from the Army lifestyle. I might just take my stories on the road and see if anyone will pay me to tell them, ha ha. Just last week I was given two wet behind the ears privates fresh out of basic, the first thing I always ask "new joes" is what exactly do they think they will be doing out here. One of them told me "cooking for the troops Staff Seargent", I didn't even know what to say. To make a long story short this private was told by his recruter that he would be a cook! He is making progress but I believe he thinks it's one big conspiracy, or we are just really "high speed" cooks. Well, I will leave you with that and I will drop by again soon. Take care and don't go a changin'.
