THING'S I'LL MISS




20JUN08. FRIDAY. Not much going on here. Just finishing the Discovery Series of DVDs on the “Worlds Deadliest Catch.” Will probably switch to the Ghost Whisperer and/or Medium (man, I gotta get a life). I manage to squeeze about ½ hour of watching a DVD before I crash. Dumped the remainder of my Ammo (finally), giving away some paperback books, and sent home two boxes of junq which I will not require for the remainder of my stay here. Yeah!!!! Man, I’m packing light now….
Things I’ll miss about OEF: Gravel, Gravel and more Gravel. Intermittent Showers. Stinky Local Nationals. The Same Food each day, every day. Turn Over Meetings. Working Weekends, Holidays and Special Occasions. Working 12, 14, 18-Hour Days, Sleep Deprivation and Fatigue. Quickly offset by Rip-Its, Energy Bars and Gel Shots. The Hot, Cold, Wind, Sand and Rain. On-Time Arrivals, Departures, and Maintenance on the Flight Schedule. The Care-Free easy, go-lucky attitude of SOF…..At the Outstations. Each of these has a special place in my heart. Will update when I can. Doug
