Deploying to gitmo, what should I smuggle back?

Leaving monday.

an iguana.

the nex sucks a lot of dick, but is the biggest source of entertainment. don't walk around drinking. the usmc exchange carries (this may have changed) a huge supply of dip and titty mags, which are good bartering currencies. cable beach sucks go to windmill

The finance guy says "normally we deactivate GOVCC cards for deployment but this is short notice so you actually need yours and I'll be sure to keep or active. In fact, pay $20 to have a new one rushed to you just in case or we won't let you go."

<I rush one to me, arriving the day before I left>

<They proceed to deactivate it anyway, leaving me stranded>

gently caress the army.

especially great since sato won't ticket until 72 hours prior to departure, so by the time you're going to leave and find out that you couldn't get ticketed it's too late to catch up with any finance dweebs. the card deactivation policy is really loving stupid

Oh god I'm in Cuba and everything sucks.


On the flipside they're offering to let me extend an additional 9 months (making a year total) if I agree to switch over to PAO. I'm a 68W and I love doing medic stuff on the civ side but army money is good compared to that (in AZ EMTs make less than $10/hour and paramedics make less than $14, lowest in the nation I could find). Also I have no loving clue what I'm doing, because I'm a 68W not MPAD wtf why am I here. But suck it up for a year and have enough dough to go to school afterwards...?


But I'm not insane so there's no way I would accept that, right?

a year in gtmo sucks but if you get what you want out of it, it won't be that hard.

I mean smoking is pretty retarded in normal society but the rest of the stupid poo poo in the military makes it look like a reasonable passtime.

it's pretty retarded there too, but still far, far less retarded than the idiots that rail on and on about people gettin free breaks and poo poo when they could just as easily just get up off their fat rear end and walk out of their office and have a break
