Update:
Because this is, after all, history, and numbnuts neither has the time, or the foresight to log it into journal entries, I will. This, for some people, will turn into a totally dull journal, as it contains correspondence that means absolutely nothing to them. For others, it will be a real-time finger on the pulse of a Chief Warrant Officer, USMC, serving in Iraq as a casualty replacement. To quote Rene' Belloq: "This IS History!"...
I appreciate it. Yeah, I told Mom before I left that I would save a lot of money on hair products out here alone! hehehehe You should have seen me the first time I got a haircut from one of the hajjis. That cover thingie over my upper body and fastened around the neck. What he didn't see was me unstrapping my weapon and taking it off safe... hehehehehe
No shit war is hell! The only time there is hot water, or water pressure for that matter, is at 0230. Of course, that's when I get up in the morning so that works out. Chow sucks. Very little veggies. And I'm trying to lose weight over here! I look a little pudgy in the pic. But, with absolutely no beer over here and me running 4 a day, should be good to go by the time I get back. I'm being felicitous, of course, cause there are folks over here that don't have any of the perks we have. But we all take fire so it evens out.
I appreciate you hooking a brother up with the rig and headphones. The headphones I will never be able to get over here. The rig, priority one. I am buying a transformer over here so that negates the need for an adapter on the PC plug. Ya'll are the best. For the most part, existence here sucks. But it sucks great! Stay black my Nubian brother!

Nice to see you wearing my haircut. What? No hairgel? War is hell, boy. That's a fact. Now there was this dusky gal in Bankok, real crossway breezer, I swear...
My boss, an oldtimer Jarhead, upon learing about you deploying, asked me "Oh, what would you give to be over there, now?" Answer? "My life."
Fobus rig will arrive before the headphones and DVD's. Priorities... Just don't ever have to use it...

First thing is that most Marines,even officers, speak english. Marines are often facetious not felicitous you dumb jarhead. I am, of course, being facetious.
