Groundhog day continues…just back from work this Sunday or is it Monday? Just kidding I know it is Sunday. So in our shower trailers there are signs telling us to conserve water…imagine that? In the desert and we have to conserve water. They ask us to take combat showers. Which means – turn the water on get wet, turn the water off, lather up, turn water on and rinse, repeat as few times as possible. So send me to the desert and I can’t even get a good shower? WTF? This has been like this since my arrival but I just decided to BLOG it today. Someone please remind me again why they fight over this land?
2 more suicide attempts recently. I wanna go home too but not that bad or on those terms. They are all so young too. When did it become cool to wanna kill yourself? Bunch of dumbasses if you ask me. I say we do like the Chinese and cane their asses in the center of town until they realize they are idiots.
Great care packages recently – Thanks Mandy, and the ladies from my office. I have enough books to last awhile. The Wheat Thins are good too. The chili you ladies sent me was given away…thank you very much…I am never telling stories again about food I hate.
Well enough for now. Hey I am 30 + days in only 14 more months left. I will be back in SATX stinking up the golf courses before you know it.
Love, Peace, and Hair Grease,
me

I like to think I'm tough mentally. But you guys and gals have a tough, tough go of it! The only thing I can compare is a client or two of mine suffering incarceration while innocent - life would not be fair now, would it?
I have no idea why anyone fights over that land - having spent time in the middle east it is quite GFS (God For Saken (sic!) LOL!) really a prescription for prayer!
No matter, your being there remind me every day how luck we are back home and what a sacrifice those who sign to be our face to the world make.
Chin up Dude! :-)
Think I may swear of margs until you get home...hmmmm... maybe not! LOL!

Hey - what do you guys do on The 4th given you have your very own fireworks show every day?
Not really sure what activities we will do. I am sure the unit will plan a BBQ or the mess hall will have something special? they are already decorated for it. I will post those pics soon. They are restrictive on the pics you can take so I asked for special permission to take the pics inside the dining facility. there is a 5k going on but I will be at work so I dont think I can play.
"I say we do like the Chinese and cane their asses in the center of town until they realize they are idiots." Good to know that those sensitivity classes you received at PASBA have not gone to waste.
Share some of that sensitivity with them and say "Get over it." Always worked for us.
