the ole gas chamber

here is that sweet footage we promised you.

one more week.

in just one week i get to chill with the wife.  it will be so much better than this.  basically that is because i hate this place, and i love my wife.

no gas

hey guys,

im so sorry, but you will have to wait about a week before we can put up the gas chamber video.  i have to use my computer to do it on, and it is at home.  but the good news is, i get to go home soon.  yay. if only for a few days.

we are back

i am so glad to be back at the barracks, and i never thought i would say that.  we stayed at a base called stones bay, that is where we shot our rifle range.  shawn and i both shot expert (was their any doubt?) so that was cool, except that we had to get up at 4 every morning and sweat our butts off all day in what they call “black flag conditions.”  that just means it is hot.  but we are back now and tomorrow Kimberly comes in, i am very excited.

oh yeah, if you ever think about joining the military jump off a bridge, they cant even figure out how to pay us.

ar-mee

in case anyone ever thought languages were not important, in modern standard arabic the word “ar-mee” means drop, in Iraqi arabic it means fire, as in fire your weapon.  so in the beggining of the war our interpreters were telling our troops to say ar-mee to iraqis with weapons, so the iraqis began firing, and were of course killed.  if i told an iraqi to drop his weapon, and he fired it (regardless of the direction) i would kill him.  no one was in the wrong, not the iraqi, not the service member, but at the end of the day someone was dead.  war sucks.

arabish

so at one point in my life i thought i was pretty good with languages, you know i thought i picked up on them pretty easy, and could usually get my way through vocab no prob, and then i went to this tactical iraqi arabic class.
