The weekly, OK, monthly, OK quarterly ramblings of a regular guy with a mildly liberal bent, who is sick of BOTH parties and their BS. For those of you just joining us, click on the March 2005 archive, scroll to the bottom of the posts, and read your way back up... or at least read that first one to see how this mess got started out of fear and boredom in Iraq.

The New Guy
The New Guy
Yeah... uh, but she's not a guy. She's Kelly, the smiling maintenance analyst/ULLS-G clerk/a whole bunch of other stuff she doesn't know about yet. She's going to love her vacation here in [unspecified location]. For those just joining us and without a program, that's Laurie on the left, then Kelly, then me.
Email from the guys who left ahead of us tells us not to be in any hurry. It's hotter there and living conditions are far more austere. Nice. Nothing says thanks for your service in a war zone like being stuck in a tent in the desert for outprocessing. I guess that couldn't be done here or in a hotel or military building maybe somewhere in Europe or the UAE or at least someplace with a bar for the love of Bob.
I don't care though... it's my last stop before I go home so I'd still rather be there than here right now and I should be getting my wish very soon. Hey, remind me to tell you all about the efforts being taken by the new group to avoid pregnancies during the deployment! They sure have some different ideas about how that works than I do!
Type at ya later,
Chris
