OOPS


Okay here is my leave update (since you all are dying to know J)..
First I have completed day 12 of not shaving, I look like a damn Iraqi! Which sucks, but who fucking cares…
Today was an exciting day to say the least,
Jolly Red and I decide to take our little c-130 r/c plane out to the park to “fly” around. I put quotation marks on the word fly for a reason. The first attempt to fly it was done by Jolly Red with some success (in the air for a good 3 min), unfortunately that would be our last.
I took the controls over, after having told her that anyone can fly an r/c plane….
Shit…was my next thought
Why? Because I crashed the damn thing into a freaking tree, I’m talking about the sucker was stuck at the top of the pine tree about 25ft up. So for the next 35min we attempted many techniques to retrieve our rouge r/c. From throwing rocks at it, to trying to shake the tree (Vin wish you were there for that one), and even throwing a tow rope at it; with the hope of pulling the branch down that it was nugged into. ALL FAILED!
Finally I resorted to my ancient Cuban Instincts…..
I chucked a 2x4 like a spear and knocked the damn r/c to the ground!
Mission Success…….Until, we tried to fly it again, with myself at the controls away from the tree line I desperately needed to redeem myself, however upon take off I did an Alston style right turn and nose dived the little r/c into the ground completely removing the front nose wheel.
So on our last and final attempt I held the r/c up in the air with jolly red at the controls, and attempted to fly again….However this time their was no way to fix the r/c, shortly after take off, Jolly Red banked hard left, and crashed the little shit splinting it into two piece (the fuselage broke in half).
So then we picked up the pieces and retired for the day……
Vin and Fez I give you guys props…..this shit is not as easy as I thought…

Women overall

Women are hard to figure out, plain and simple. I don't know what to tell you, they are all different and half crazy. I won't apologize on behalf of them, but I will say this: just keep looking there is someone out there.
Just a message from the neighborhood female.

Women....

Cuban-B, be thankful you have one of the good ones because the rest of them are fuckin crazy..bitches. (NO offense Jolly).

ATL

I'm officially cancelling this weekends shit too much conflict bad timing etc......Drop in the bucket, no big deal...anything else anyone could suggest for the weekend after maybe? Let me know any ideas. Savannah? Charelston?. I also figured the drive to ATL was unfair on your side 8hrs vs 5hrs...hmmmm no.

Assimilation

I propose that we open the borders. well, not exactly open them, so much as expand them. when were done with the war and get our money straightened out, i propose that the USA and mexico gel together to integrate the mexican people into our own. stupid plan? maybe. but how about this...we wont have a problem with border security across a huge expanse, just that little part that joins with central america, and if so many mexicans want in, why the hell are we stopping them? make them legal, and we can help each other.

Right now, mexico is like a 3rd world country, you think that they wouldnt love to have jobs from our building contractors to turn that place around? for you republican fuckers out there, there would also be a shit load of the younger new americans joining the military as well. I have a vision of the new mexico with spanish style buildings...that arent falling apart, and without garbage and dead dogs in the roads beside them. for the old fucks who are tired of vacationing in florida, you know you would like to hit the beaches on the gulf down there, and think of the development of them? these places could become prime targets for Nightowl congregation. of course, this plan would take a long time to finish just the citizenship paperwork, and it would have to be agreed upon by the vast majority of mexicans AND americans, and thus, will never happen. I just thought it would be cool though.

Leave or stay...

This is keeping me up tonight. When asked why i wanted to EAS by the OPSO, i explained that i wanted a break from Iraq. 4 whole deployments is too damn many. i even said getting the 1st half off would be enough for me to sign back up. what i got in response was "we need you to instruct, you need to teach iron nail, the commandant says blah blah", and the best part, that "it sets a precedent for others to try to get out of deployments if they end up in the same situation".

Oh yeah? well that kind of answer sets a precedent that the command could give two shits about its troops. If youre going to preach the commandant's letters to the corps, dont bother including anything about loyalty, brotherhood, and taking care of our own, because these bastards dont care one 10 second fuck about the morale or state of mentality for their guys. I'm in a unique situation, in that i can walk if the cards dont stack up. The thing is, im not even asking for that much. Its a give a little-get a little situation for our command. Well they expect me to give them a ribeye steak with a garden salad, loaded baked potato, and all the beer they can handle, while they try to leave a 50 cent tip.

I want to stay at the unit. i love the work, the people i work with, and i love being able to say that i joined the hardest service in a time of war, and gave up the best years of my life to defend my country. So, when i get back, i'll have a proposal ready for them. its a deal or no deal type thing. Their reaction will tell me everything i need to know about their feelings towards me. If i get the same answer, that i'm another "+1" on the sorts sheet, and my time so far isnt worth 3 months of sanity for 22 put in, then I'll know. I'll know that everything ive been fed so far has been horseshit, and I shouldnt spend 5 more seconds in the military than i'm obligated.

The Number 23

Do NOT go to see this movie. looks cool in the previews right? Jim Carrey is already a creepy weirdo when hes doing comedies, and now, he actually plays a creepy weirdo in a serious movie. I wont give away the ending, so heres a little analogy. Imagine if at the end of Crank, Carebears showed up at the end to magically cure Chev with rainbows from their bellies, and then the cops finally catch him and say, "Oh! you had to kill all those people in self defense! damn we almost made a huge mistake by trying to arrest you all day!" needless to say, it would have been fucking stupid. like the number 23.

Wyoming: The west's Stalingrad

This one is harder than I thought it would be. obviously I'm going to have to retreat and bring re-enforcements next time. after the crazy ass shit that happened at the bar last night, I've turned this into strictly a recon mission. And this is only the small town of Greybull. The point is, Wyoming will not be conquered by one Nightowl alone. I'm sure in the future Fez can help me out up here, since last year, and i forgot to add this in the conquests, we took Laramie and made it our bitch in one night. but as i was sitting at the bar watching the redneck version of katrina annhialate the smokehouse saloon, i realized that only a group of Nightowls will be able to do enough damage to make a mark on this place.

FTS! FUCK THAT SHIT

Well then! I guess I have been put in my place....FUCK THAT! If no one wants to go then I will occupy myself elsewhere. I really don't give a shit anymore period. HAVE FUN IN IRAQ ASSHOLES. and i agree with the "illegal alien" about being a Nightowl as I too think it is a joke to some people and if they don't wish to involve themselves(at least once a month) with the bond that is us then why the hell are we wasting our time? I'm seriously about to wash my hands of this shit because I'm starting to think it is a joke because we don't even follow our own "by-laws". I'm pretty sure that i typed this all in vain because maybe one person may read it. In closing I'm not forcing anyone to do anything I just wanted to know since it is only about a week away. I know the answer now and won't waste my time asking again. I hope you all get hit by a BUS!

ONE MORE THING

Hey Kaiser, thanks for the great news about the Nashville Predators....I have been looking for that information all week
