I have successfully whined, sniveled and begged my way back to Afghanistan. My third tour there, my sixth tour overseas since 9/11 and my eighth tour since my 18th birthday, nearly 30 years ago.
God bless America.
I have been bitchy as hell the last 4 months, all cooped up in Iraq. Tied down to the FOB-ish. Can’t wait to GTFO of here and get back to work for reals…
Be safe and Out-Fucking-standing !!!Never Quit 120MM
I let a Medical rob me of going, I pushed so hard At FT KNOX in training I broke Myself ,Now I could Kick Myself in the Ass .Keep Rolling and so them what the finest Soldiers in the world can Do !! God I miss My M1
I can’t imagine being stuck on a FOB. It is bad enough having to suffer the poor food, let alone spend all your time locked up here.
I am lucky to be able to get out on the roads just about every day. Hell, we average more time outside the wire than most soldiers do these days in Iraq.
I will probably end up in Astan next year. I have only done one “tour” but it has been six years long…lol.
