Pyke, back for more

So alot has happened since Ive last done my piece on here. We had a brand new Buffalo due to some weird circumstances. On our 2nd mission out with it we decided to blow it up. Shit happens but whats the best way to break in new equipment than to break it. So with all that behind us life seems to be rolling along. The monotony of the day to day has gotten to such a point that well days have blended together and the only thing that seperates one day from another is our maintnence day which we have no missions. In some respects it makes time go faster but in others it drags things out cause you have no idea what day it is or even the date unless someone has told you. For me it has made the days/weeks/months fly by. In saying that I will be departing on leave on the eve of the 20th. Im mostly excited. I cant say that Im going crazy or anything but a break would be nice. And on that note our beloved LT has gone on his leave not more than a day ago. I hope he has a riot on leave being hes been rather stressed lately. Ask him and he would deny it all but ones face and charisma can never hide the true feelings of the inside. Everyone who has been on leave and has returned says we all look like zombies walking around here. Maybe its that I havent gotten away from it all yet but from my eye everyone dosnt seem so bad. I think its an aspect problem. Of course seing happy people in the USA and then seing us here in Iraq we are going to seem depressed and dead to the world just due to pure circumstance. If we all looked happy and joyful well the army would probably take away our hazzerdous duty pay and our hardship duty pay. So there is something to be said for the rough faces around here. Its still a war. Things are still respectively tough. And people are still trying to fight us. With that being said Im going to move on out and do some online shopping (its impossible to say with an internet full of cool stuff to buy)

Well its been real, and its been fun, But is sure as hell hasnt been real fun......
