JUST DROPPING A LINE

dizzy · 02-10-2004, 05:04 AM

Hello,
How is everyone doing? I am ok I guess. Don't normally stop to think about it though lol. Besides all the IEDs and mortars and getting shot at and everything else here what sucks the most is never having a day off lol. But lucky me I get to go on whats called Freedom Rest. i get to go to the Green Zone for 3 days off. Theres a swimming pool free internet cafe there good food and stuff like that. Plus I will get to wear my 1 set of civilian clothes i brouight out here *( a white unsershirt andn blue jeans lol)I don't know we soldiers just get ran ragged out here. It sucks. But its tolerable at the same time. Our few hours a free time a day make it so. The other day we were heading to the airport (about a 45 50 minute drive) ((i was gunning on my 240 a big ass machine gun) and we stopped a bolo vehicle(vehicles suspected of having the bad guys lol) wound up getting a guy with an uzzi. it was cool. We had a blackhawk hovering overhead providing cover , because we stoped in the middle of the main highway in a big district. So thwere was about 1500 iraqis and a total of 7 americans. We arew lucky no one tried to do anything lol. Maybe iI am just gettign paranoid but seen to much stuff not to be i guess.

whenever i get the chance i pop in hdere to stay current but i normally dont have enough time to take to log in and write but i do today. Today has been failry slow i am taking CLS classes (combat life saver) so tommorow i get to stick someone with a needle.Well i guess i wont take up anymore of your guys time that is even if you are wasting your time to read this. well hope to talk to you guys latter.
