    Non-all-inclusive list of things I miss:

    trees and foliage
    annoying the spousal unit,
    scaring the dog,
    shooting things,
    riding my harley like I'm a 1%er,
    getting mad at my golf clubs,
    a decent frappucino
    movie theaters
    date night with my wife
    not having the possibility of things explde around me
    a decent night's sleep
    pooping a real poop that doesn't smell better on the way out than when i ate it
    showers with real water pressure
    showers in general
    internet on my phone
    cell phone service in general

    not needing shower shoes for the jellyfish-of-the-day

    wiping my butt with something that's not the equivalent to an 80 grit paper bag
    STEAK
    not living 37 inches from the busiest runway this side of the moon (I can now tell the difference between a Huey, a Blackhawk, a russian Mi17, a Chinook, a Kiowa, an Apache, and whatever the hell those Vertical guys fly)
    driving my own car
    the American National Anthem (if you've ever been to my place in the last half a year, you know what I'm talking about, particularly at 8 AM)
    Radio stations with music from this decade, prefereably
    Sam's Club (3 gallons of mustard, why the hell not?)

    I think that I am going to make it my goal this weekend to do everything that you listed on your miss list, that way your efforts are not in vain. Some times I forget the lists of stuff that I would write up while deployed over seas. I remember that I had a solid six month schedule that I planned with everything that I wanted to do and everything that I missed doing. Then when I got back I just got drunk all the time and the plan went to shit, but I feel where you are coming from.

    Stay strong, and do let us know if there is anything that you would like to get in a care package. I am sure a couple people on there could swing some stuff, at least TP.

    I know the things I miss the most when I'm deployed are:

    Wife
    Dogs
    Having a solid bowel movement in my own toilet
    Showering in my own shower without shower shoes
    Being able to go wherever I want when I want to go there

    Hang in there buddy and stay safe. Thanks for your service!

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Sounds to me like you are at Bagram

    just remember, it could be worse.

    keep your ass down, your weapon close and your head on a pivot.
    Get home soon

    I'm a little farther forward than that, but not by much. I know there are folks out there having a REALLY hard time. Josh is out there pretty far.

    You are in my old stomping grounds, although it is a bit more dangerous this time around. Aren't you almost done?
