Just another day on the FOB…kinda got bitched at because I haven’t worn my actual uniform in a few days…we are supposed to wear our uniform during duty hours except on Fridays and Sundays—those are NOT down days, but days of relaxed battle rhythm…whatever…they are down days except for people who need to work…which is every day here…anyhoo…I was asked what my duty hours are and what days we are working…my answer is very simple –if there are broke trucks we work, if there are no broke trucks we don’t work…that’s it…well, we have ECP duty and missions and things like that—of course those are duty days and the hours are whatever hours the gate is open and whatever hours the missions run…anyway, I guess I will bust out my uniform again for a few days—or I could just hide out and keep a low profile…just more FOB BS…seriously, what difference does it make what I’m wearing…apparently someone cares…tonight we just have one truck down with some transmission problems—that will be fixed tonight and we will be 100%…it is now 2008 and we are all getting to the point of “time to go”…only a little over two months left…I can’t freakin wait…so, that was my day…oh yeah, they reported that there are a couple of suicide bombers in the area and some of the construction workers on a road project have been threatened by bad guys to stop working for the “infidel dogs”…same ol shit here…ok, talk to you later… love you all
