Okay, here is a quick update for y'all:

I am in Afganistan right now. My internet access occaisionally sucks real bad, so I may or may not be posting here more often.
This country sucks.
I will be home in either 6 or 9 months, depending on whether or not they actually do extend us.
My computer is working (mostly) now.
I am being threatened with promotion right now. Yes, it's a threat, considering what they'll probably have me doing as a direct result. Oh, and WLC too. Fuck that course.
They are also trying to extort/coerce me into reenlisting. Fuck that too.

But, yah. I'm alive, uninjured, and doing my country a great service--or so I'm told.

Good luck. I'll be 'praying' that you don't come back with any more holes than you already have from the last time you were here. ;)

Hey, I missed the naked girls. :yowza:

I'm not sure which branch of the Armed Forces you are in, but in the Army we had a bit of wisdom for times like yours, it went like this... "Fuck The Army!!!".

Please come home safe and soon. Your followers have gotten completely out of hand, and I'm starting to think of just randomly punching them.

Did you guys say "FTAF"?

I was all gung ho in my early military years, but by the time my contract was up I was gung ho to get the hell out.

FTAF? I'm afraid that's one FLA (four letter acronym) with which I'm not familiar.

lol. I guess that's a 'no'.

In the Army we said 'FTA' a lot, wrote it on our helmets and such. So I was wondering if there was an equivalent in the Air Force. A Navy guy I know told me that they used the acronym 'FTN'.

e.g.
FTA = "Fuck The Army"
FTN = "Fuck the Navy"
FTAF = "Fuck The Air Force"

Here's a story just to give you an example. We were sent to the field in the Arctic, it was cold as hell and we were all in a bad way, they made us turn our stoves off at night and sleep directly on a polypropylene pad (on the ground). Getting up to pee at night was a god awful experience, so you would hold it in for as long as you possibly could. One night, I got up and peed in huge letters in the snow "FTA" right where everyone could see it. I swear to god, the letters were 3 feet tall. Well, everyone who saw it the next day just burst out laughing and it made us all feel a little better (especially me).

FLA? That's only 3 letters. I think you mean ETLA - extended three-letter acronym.

No, I've never heard of FTAF.

Maybe I should have joined the Air Force.

I went into the Army expecting it to be more like the Marines, but knowing what I do now the Air Force would've suited me better.

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, you gotta get back from there in one piece and healthy.
