Goddamn it. We'd literally have meetings in the Starbucks there to check out hot wives.

You have to recalibrate for this place. 5 in one day is "wow I saw a lot of women today". I see more women doing coyote stuff for ITX than almost every day I spend on mainside doing stuff for my unit.

Air Force Bases, Pendleton and Miramar will spoil the absolute gently caress out of you. Yuma and CHerry Point will bring you right back down to reality

Goodfellow AFB is an exception to that one. Monterey was amazing, though that's an Army base, and it was mostly because of the civilians.

I normally work for a different unit, but whenever I can I go TAD to TTECG because they need me more and I actually get exposure to stuff relevant to my occ field over there.

They released a new version of the base's uniform policy this week, and it classified yoga pants as PT gear. It's not just the PX they're unauthorized at now. They also made it so that you have to take your headphones out when crossing at a crosswalk, so really we've got a bunch of mouthbreathers here that can't cross the street without dying.

I've recalibrated to the deployment, binary scale. Ie everyone is either a 0 or a 1. Really helps the people watching. Looks like the Verizon tower on Wilson now has permanent power too. This place has it all.

General Mattis told us to expect 30% of our unit to be dead or injured within the first 96 hours of the invasion of Iraq. He gave a big speech in Kuwait two days before we crossed the LoD. I went to church services for the first time in a decade that day and sat up all night wondering what the gently caress I was doing with my life. That's my Mattis story.

Did he give you the bit about wanting to whack Saddam and take his head back to California so it could be run up the flagpole at Berkley?

Just got back from my first field op. Holy poo poo did that suck. During our movement to contact we were waste high in swamp water when our boottenant told us to push back because we were in a swamp. Got a SMAW range in at least. Also, the hike back. Whats the worst hike all my fellow goons have done?

The 15k during MCT in 13. Also the last work hike that I've done. Nowadays if it doesn't fit in the truck it gets left behind.
