I know the quality kind of sucks, but that's the best my web cam does. It's a copy of the May, 2009 issue of the Army's 25th Infantry Division's monthly newsletter/magazine, "Lightning Strikes". Way back when I first came here, I did my first demo, along with some engineers and Army press. They had the pics from the demo shot and it included me. Not exactly Newsweek awesome, but I thought it was pretty cool.
Good to know our replacements want to get here as much as we want to leave, so I won't be here too much longer. We've done alot and are ready to share our stories and experiences via live audiences, rather than phone calls and emails. Though, I have to say, with technology the way it is, never did I imagine that I would be in a place like this and actually have a face to face conversation with my family on my computer. My mom and dad were in more disbeliefe but it was actually nice to wave at each other, say hello, and even play a game of UNO. Thank you Windows Messenger.
An old friend who likes to show up in random places smiled at me today. World War two is over, but he is always there with the military. Whoever decided to do it though needs to learn to spell. The "wuz" is cute, but the "hear" is just embarrasing.
Our supply guy is keeping me busy with the inventory. So nice that I have a bunch of equipment that's not on any lists, yet I can't seem to find the stuff on the lists. Go figure. I'm very close in just paying for stuff we're missing, just so he'll leave me alone, yet I don't think I could afford it, even with my life savings.
I also may be heading back to Brass for a few days. Seem the EOD guys tore their place apart and Chief may want me to help tidy the place up. Be nice to be able to see my Army friends one last time, though they say they're headed to Baghdad, and I'll eventually be heading there too.
Besides that, it's getting through the day, boredom being the worst enemy. Beats bullets and IEDs exploding, I guess.
