4 Jun 2007 - Ramping up


Another day of boring ass pointless briefings. I had to do an ISOPREP, it's basically a form that gives search and rescue some info about me they can ask me to verify my identity in the case that I need rescued... Pretty sobering. We were running missions around the borders the last few days - explains why our comm was out - can't risk OPSEC.

Piper gets to go downrange in a few days, lucky bastard. Can't wait for my chance. Awesome money to be made, and I'd like to get outside the wire and see the country. I think I'll volunteer to teach English and Western Civilization at the local schools in my off time. It will give me a chance to interact with the people.

The radios I work on are easy - hence pretty stress free so far. I don't know how to explain living in a tent... It sucks, but it's not THAT bad. Kinda cozy for lack of a better word.
Today the Djiboutian who works at the PX was singing Whitney Houston - i got a good chuckle out of that... Wow, I sure can jump from subject to subject.
