Just a Short One

Hey all, I know I haven't updated in a very long time, but I've been busy. This is my last update before I head out to Afghany land. There is supposed to be private internet service there, but we shall see.

Anyway, so we worked our asses off so that the entire battalion's aircraft could fly to port on time. And I do mean worked our asses off. We were pulling 16 to 18 hour days in freezing cold and rain. We get them out of here and are looking forward to some down time. Guess what, the Brigade Commander fucks us. We still have to come in every work day, no day on/ day off schedule for us. Only half days. Doesn't sound too bad, right. Good in theory, bad in execution. We still went in for PT, but now we HAVE to do it from 0630 to 0800. No exceptions, no excusses. Then after PT, back to the hanger. And what do we do while we're at the hanger. That's right. Absolutly nothing! We sit there for the rest of the day with our thumbs up our asses. Generally we were out of there at lunch, but come on. We were the only company in the battalion that was doing PT and coming to work. Why did we do this? All of our airplanes are gone, the hanger has been cleaned out and up and we do absolutly nothing while we're there. It made no sense.

So, enough of that rant. I leave this morning, like I said earlier. I'm part of our advance party and have been chosen to be in charge of the build ups. Right now, its a little unclear wether I'm running all of the teams, or just one of them. I hope they don't expect me to do both, it can't be done. There is just too much to keep track of. And the ons that should know what I'm doing, don't have a clue yet themseves.

Biz, sorry to hear about that bitch in family court. (Actually both of them, the judge and the ex.) But don't take it to heart, what goes around, comes around.

I wish ya'll the best for the New Year and keep yourselves safe.

I'm out till I get up in Afghanistan. See ya'll later.
