Rollin' with the changes

This is Pyke here for another one of my less than memorable entries.

So bare with me as I recap some of the events that have unfolded for 3rd platoon recently. There were a string of sencing sessions to see how the soilders felt about how things were within the company. I thought other than a few rahter outlandish or self centered comments the whole thing went well. Alot of issues got aired out and well it seemed for the best. Apparently some things were said that shouldnt have been. To avoid messy details and incriminating people we will just say that when 1sgt got wind of what was said he saught to make things right. So that leads us to 1sgt doing inventories of our gear every day before we roll out the front gate. Saying this is a pain would be the least vulgar way to put it. Either way in doing this somewhere along the line it came down that we need to thoroughly clean out the trucks. No big problem, gives me an oppertunity to make the buffalo a nice truck to ride in again. As my squad (2nd squad) is cleaning out the trucks Lt Pham comes over to me in the buffalo and says "Dont clean it out so good". Of course I had to ask why and to my dismay he said we are turning our buffalo over to some other unit. Well this kinda threw me for a loop. Its tough to really explain but Ive poured alot of blood sweat and tears into this truck to just give it up like that. I know it sounds childish and whatnot but to do all the work ive done to make it the truck it is and then to see it go well it sucked pretty bad. I wasnt sure to be sad or upset. So i decided that being mad would prolly look better. Well this all transpired in the time frame of 3 or 4 days. Well yesterday a day after learning that they are taking my buffalo we got our new buffalo. And I mean NEW. This thing has the new car smell. Still has plastic on the seats. Its the opitomy of brand new. But Im losing sight of my point here. What Im getting at is how so much stuff can change in the few days that all this went down. To look back and reflect on it is amazing to think that pretty much the whole way we do things and to be quite frank the vehicles we use to do our thing in have all changed. But I suppose thats just another day in the army where all it takes is someone who I will never meet or get to express my opinion to, to make a decision and well its automatically a law from there. And on that note its time to take somewhat of a nap

Take it easy
