Back From Hell
Just when it seemed that I had goten bck into the groove of things the Big Blue Diamond (1st Mar Div) decided to go play in the desert for a couple of weeks. I must admit that this was one of the most boring field ops that I have been on in recent memory as it seemed like we did a whole hell of a lot of sitting on our asses. We did get some good training in but not all that was needed. I guess that I am partly to blame for this as I am a SSgt and I wasn’t really able to coordinate any outside training but hey we did what we could. Now it is back to the grind here in the rear and make sure everything that got broke now gets fixed. That and gotta make sure we get all the training that we need as looks like I will be headin to asscrackistan some time in the spring. I should get back to a semi-normal posting schedule now that I am back.

Hello Jarhead
It’s very disconcerning when you just get into the groove and somebody yells, “FIELD TRIP” and as you sit there you are trying to remember just where everything was put from the last one. Then there’s the question of where did my special phone/plan book get located to when I laid it down last.
Hey HONEY? Have you seen_______????
Of course there is the “Hi Love, I back.” as you dump a duffle bag full of dirty laundry and sand beside the washer.
Marines, You just got to LOVE THEM TO PIECES…dirty laundry, sand and all.
