Long time
Well, its been a while since ive updated this. Alot of shit has happened since then. Our company has gotten rediculous about stupid shit. Ive been blown up 4 more times. Whoo, I love this country. I dont even see why we are here anymore. We are supposed to train the iraqi police and advise them. Mentor them. But its hard to mentor them when they dont want to do anything. They do their job just long enough for us to leave. Its rediculous. And whats really messed up is that they are the ones setting up the IEDs and blowing us up. AHHHHH i hate this place. |

Ive been here for 5 months now and Ive seen my fair share of fucked up stuff. Ive been blown up numerous times already. I got 10 more months left and its coming all but too soon. I cant wait to get out of here. I got married on leave. It was wonderful. Nice little midevil theme. Now all I gotta do is make it 10 more months. I did the stupid thing and Reenlisted for 3 years. It added 1.5 years to my exsisting contract, but I got K9 out of the deal. So im happy for the most part. |

So, my Bday wasnt too fun. Worked all day. Didnt do a damn thing all day. Got off late. Had plans to go to dinner after work. That happend, but it was late as hell. When We got back, Laura and I had a big argument over something I said that she misunderstood. So that was fun. I ended up kicking her out of my room. When somethings wrong with her, she tries to play it off. And it makes me think that she thinks Im stupid. Ive known her long enough to tell when Something is wrong. But she wanted to try and pass it by me. So that really made me mad. And thats why I kicked her out. She didnt want to be honest with me. I knew exactly why she was mad, I just didnt want her to hide it from me, and she did. Today, we have combatives. It will be fun. Im gonna take out some of my anger there. Then after work, we have a squad Cookout. That will be fun. Maybe Ill Talk to laura then. |

I was supposed to have tomorrow and Friday off with Laura cause I worked the road this weekend. But not anymore. Laura works the road, and I have training all next week. Then the week after that, she works the road and i work platoon duty. So thats 2 weeks of not seeing her at all. I dont get off till butt ass late every day, and she will be at work when I get off, and when She gets off, ill be at work. God I love the Army. Everyone else gets to go home and see their family of GF or BF every night. I cant, and its been this way for a month. Weve had one weekend off together this entire month. Other than that weekend, we both work different schedules. |

Been busy busy. gotta work this weekend too. gonna be fun. whoo hoo, no days off. I wish the Army paid overtime, then they would be forced to let us go early or pay us lots of money. |

So everything has been pretty crazy here. Work sucks. Personal life is going down hill as well. Laura and I are always arguing about something. Its all about work too. We end up making up in the long run, but it still sucks. cant wait till i get a chance to go back home for a little while and get away from it all. |

So, Laura and I had a nice little talk about yesterday and my observations with what happened. It didnt go all that well. I made her cry a little. Made me feel bad. But oh well. she needs to learn that Theres no time to ask an NCO when the shit hits the fan. she needs to take action and explain herself afterwards. hopefully she learns before its all a reality. My buddy talked to all the other gunners about the same thing. I should have had him talk to Laura as well. but oh well. If this continues to happen, someones gonna get hurt over there. |

Today has been a shitty ass day. I just watched Laura get the shit shot out of her in a convoy simulation. the whole time the bullets were flying at her, all she did was sit there and ask questions. Very depressing. she didnt even shoot back in one instance. It was very depressing to watch. Shes been in the Army for almost 2 years and she didnt have enough common sense to shoot back when being shot at. It scares me. I dont even want to know whats going to happen when we actually get over there. And I dont know how to tell her what I think about it. Cause I dont want to be mean. And I have a feeling that I may be. |

well, ive been up for 34 hours now. Today was a very bad day. NCo's are making our lives miserable. Its not fun. its worse than basic too. they have pushed and pushed and pushed some more, and May have just hit that breaking point today. We will see how tomorrow goes. tomorrow will be another log day as well. O630 for PT, then we will get off at midnight the next day because of 9mm night fire. will be a trip. |

Today was a crummy ass day. Ive ben in an upset mood all day. I really didnt want to see anyone today. I just feel like shit on the inside. Laura took the brute of it all. She wanted to spend time with me, and i didnt really help her out. I was in a bitter mood. I feel even worse cause i took it out on her. she wanted to spend time with me because for the past few weeks, its been hard cause of different schedules. i feel like shit cause she took the crap from me. I didnt want to make her feel like shit. but I just wanted to e alone. I decided to dri nk tonight. ig mistake. not the reason to be drinking. But Oh well. If i cant figure it out on my own, why not drink them away. Im stupid, but Oh well. |

The thought of deploying was so much easier when i didnt have someone I cared about going with me. thats all laura is thinking about at this point. I am honestly trying not to think about it. But she reminds me all the time about how shes worried that something will happen to me. and All I can think about at that point is that How would I cope if something happened to her. I know this is a fucked up thing to say, but I dont want to see her go. I dont think she can handle it mentally. And If something did happen, I dont know how I would react. Its different to hear about your friends getting hurt than someone you love. I dunno, but its driving me nuts, cause shes thinking about it and constantly reminding me about it. I dont want to think about all that, I want to think about all the good things that will happen before and after the deployment. |
