Just because I'm bored.

Part of the reason I created this blog is because I was bored out of my mind. I figured doing a deployment in Iraq would go by kind of fast, but that's not the case when there is absolutely nothing to do. And by nothing, I mean NOTHING. You can either sit in your CHU and watch every TV show the fucking haajis  sell, go to the office and play xbox until your eyes bleed, or go to the DFAC and eat their shitty ass food. It is like a prison, except we are getting paid to be here.

So since I am caught in this vicious cycle, I decided to try and document the last month of this deployment. There really is nothing else to talk about. We haven't done a god damn thing here, and this place isn't an different than the day we arrived. Dirt roads, Indians and Ugandans all over the place, and the smell of shit or piss where ever you may roam.  We've done some fun shit this deployment, don't get me wrong, but this was a huge waste of time. But fuck it, right? Who doesn't like to get paid to do nothing? I thought that was the case for the first four months. No bills and random indirect fire every few days. But that shit gets to you.
