WCM in the Army!

This blog has to do with my thoughts on life, and being a soldier, while serving in the U.S. Army. (These are my own personal thoughts!)

MISSION!

Just went on a mission from 13th til 21st of Feburary. We went from Arifjan to Beuring to K-crossing to Adder to VBC to Al- Asad and back. Traveled at night mostly and the biggest threat was Iraqi traffic, those fuckers will run right out you. I talked to my future wife, marie and she said amanda lynn probably won't be there with her when I go home for leave.To be honest this makes me sad bult also takes a load off as well.

Re-Deployed

I just recently got back from Afghanistan after being there six months, of a one year tour. Coming back to Ft. Bragg is an eye opener to say the least. I never truly appreciated my life in the United States as much as I do now. Over ther in Afghanistan it was impossible to stay clean, not that I didnt take a shower, but that there was so much sand dust it was impossible. The birage of house flies and moths was never ending. The weather was always sunny, at one hundred and twenty degrees during the day. The fear of being bit by an Eristicophis viper at night was on my mind. The constant shit smell that filled the air from where the waste water collected always reminded you how you wish you was home.

I am really glad to be back at Ft. Bragg and the United Staes in general. Life is good or should I say American life is good. We are the best country in the world. Too many americans take this country for granted and are willing to help sell this great county to the communists who have taken over the enviromental movement. But regardless of the idiots and the morons who will doom us all in the long run.

I am a soldier, a cook, and a team leader. It seems more real than at any other time in my life but being in the army was the furthest thing from my mind until it happened. The army has provided me the opportunity for me to pull myself up by my own boot straps and have the pride of being a man. I have a steady income, a roof over my head, clothes on my back, acquantances and friends, and, schooling too.

Life has never been so good as it is now.
