Another update from Afghanistan

[txarmyguy23]

Well seems like Generals get what they ask for now and now I'm staying here a full year...Thanks alot 10th mt for screwing us by not letting us RIP with yall
and a bigger thanks to 25th ID and their sorry doing nothing asses for keeping us here...Frustration and low morale have reached a new low for me. I can't get packages in the mail without them being stolen, the heat in the gyms are bad as hell and we can't get the permission to do shit for missions. Makes me wonder seriously what the hell we are doing here if only the Rangers and JSOC boys are the only ones allowed to do anything. Lucky for them they dont have the gloves placed on them...

How is everyone around here doing? Anyone got a hookup at the Postal service that can help get some nutrional packages out my way??

Sorry to hear that TX.

I wish I could help, but I don't know anyone with the postal service.

How much longer is this going to extend you?

 

[Lao Tzu]

what do you mean by a postal service hookup? I'm sure alot of guys here will send you stuff if thats what you mean but i dont know anyone 'on the inside'.

Except this guy

 

[txarmyguy23]

thats good stuff...Inside meaning anyone that can find out what has happened to all my mail that has gotten lost over the past few months...The extension keeps us here a year

 

[jenscats5]

That sucks that you can't get your stuff w/o it being stolen....

Hang in there bro & hope it all works out....

Shit man, that means you wont get to see your kid be born, correct?

Sorry to hear that bro, but you made it this far, the remainder should be a walk in the park. Keep sharp big man.

Hey bor, youve in part inspired me t change my life and move to san marcos to go to texas state full time. Im going to work part time to pay bills still. I cant let this opportunity go to waste while good guys like you sacrifice.

Hey Dave thanks alot man, I'm glad your plan on going back to school full time. I sometimes wish I was back in San Marcos in school, and I think alot about what I'd be doing with that degree had I not come in the army. But it's a constant reminder of how fucked up I'd probably be and still not doing shit had I stayed instead of comming in when I got suspended. I'm better for it now and plan on enrolling in an online degree program when I get back to finish things up. I'm going to Use my GI bill once I get out to get an MBA

 

[fistfullofsteel]

just stay safe brother.

What's the political situation like? We don't here too much in the press about Afghanistan. It's almost like it's disappeared since the Iraq war started. Weren't we supposed to be establishing democracy there too? I think we should have finished the job right in Afghan instead of going to Iraq

You are young and got time. Im 30 in november but plan to also stay for the mba, which i should get by 34 or 35. Everything happens for a reason, remember that and everything will work out.

that fucking sucks about the mail situation, i guess the officers just dont give a shit as long as they get their mail

good luck with finishing up the rotation!
