Afghanistan

Ok, been in country for a few weeks now. Just wanna jot some thoughts down on how this deployment is different from last year so far. Besides the pay, there's been good changes. There's no more fire watch (guard duty) out in the cold for 8 hours. No more random working parties to help set up tents, load this truck up, etc. Which make things a lot more stress free. Don't have to follow military regs, so i can not shave, and put my hands in my pocket when it's cold outside, put on and extra layer and not be worried about uniform standards.

It's pretty much the same thing w/o the extra military hassle. And I get to do the same cool things. Yesterday I got to ride in a black hawk. Still get to hang out with soldiers at the motor pool.

It's shaping up to be a good deployment.
