welcome home...no wait, see you soon!
heya lubbz,
Glad to hear you got to ride the berg, if only for a little while.
Hope your time goes quick for you. It seems as you get closer to the end of a deployment of any kind, time seems to come to a standstill. Here's some things to help kill the time in your region:
1) break open some glow sticks and pour some in your mouth. Go into a tent after lights are out and after everyone's asleep. Sit in the cot next to someone and wake them up and start talking to them. This works better if the person is drunk.
2) If the motor pool is near the latrines and you're using portajohns, attach some 550 cord to all the porta-johns and tie it off to a 5 ton or hummer.
3) find the newest member of your group and tell them it's time for e-tool(shovel) qualifications. Take them out and blindfold them take off their cover and shirt, fold them, set him on his knees, then hand them the e-tool, telling them they have 1 minute to dig a hole 2'X2'X2' They get bonus points for making it square.
Gently place their shirt and cover in front of them then yell "Go!"
4) if you have a canteen(bar), take them to it, and get them plastered. Then put him in bed(preferably naked) in the same cot with the largest guy and take a couple of photo opportunities. Spoon position is best(with the brute behind). Send them to his email.
These are only a couple, but they should help you pass some time.
Hope you make it back safe & sound.
thanks,
