I'm working on it, I just need to get home and make alot of things better that weren't so great before I left. Alot of it was my fault, but sometimes you have to step back and be away from everything before you see it all. That and it will be nice to come back and bring out the good things, expecially when we have been apart for almost 5 months.

The thing that is the hardest now to deal with is wanting to get home and make everything good. We both know that everything will be alot better for the both of us once we get back together, so right now time is dragging in a way.
That and I know that she wants me home, so that makes me want to get home even more and makes it drag worse.

Watch out for my babies momma! She like a walking breathing Camel Spider! But in all reality stay safe, I am sure your bored off your *** and can not wait to get home to work on you're car. I have been there before, but for some fucked up reason I find myself wishing I was back there sometimes. Also stay in contact with you're bro's should you part ways after you get state side again. I have lost track of many that I consider family, and I find myself wondering what/how they are doing in life. And I miss them a lot. But really watch out for my babies momma, shes running around there somewhere. Her tour is over in March though...lol

Thanks guys. It's boring. We just got internet back, so that helps.

I haven't seen one since I've been here, too cold for them I think. My last two tours here were in the summer, we used to catch a bunch of them. It was fun to throw them at people or make them fight.

You said you were coming back with a big chunk of money...Well, I don't know if you have heard of the Brucealmighty744 charity, but it is a wonderful cause for me and me alone. If you would like to donate, I will allow you to do so

Bring back some of that high grade gas for us. A KC-135 full should keep us going for awhile ^_^ They can leave some of that Jet Fuel in it too

I know you guys woudn't know this, but a KC-135 carrying JET A1 or JP8 or your typical Jet Fuel isn't going to do **** for our cars cause it's pretty much the equivalent of Diesel..so Fail. lol

A little bit of 140 Octane AVGAS is where it's at..
