Yeay Fun!
20090106 17:45 by ColeHappy New Years people. I’m officially back from the giant sand box known as Iraq. However, I still seem to be lacking a few things I thought I would just automatically recieve when I got back. Such as a life. 
Being without any gaming consoles, movies and even basic transportation, I’m pretty much stuck in my room, on the internet. But thank GOD for Cable Broadband. No one who hasn’t been deployed can know the pain of having an internet uplink that loads an average webpage in, oh I don’t know, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Another thing I missed out on: regular health care. So now I’m getting all kinds of poked, prodded, blood-drained and possibly drilled to ensure that I’m in good health. It’s not fun… on the flip side, however, I’ve not had a head cold since I joined the millitary. Either there’s something that’s actually good for me in the food here, or I’m really blessed. Well, probably the second one, considering I came home in one piece with no missing parts.
I’ll stop rambling now, but I’ve got an idea of my next post: reasons not to join the army. It’s probably gonna be an ongoing thing, as there are so many mechanisims in the organization that don’t work right that I can forget them untill the shortcoming smacks me in the face again. But to kick it all off, don’t join the army reason 1: because then you don’t have to decide if you want to stay in the army.
