lol i remember not coming prepared my first deployment with porn, no mags or anything, and loving hoping above hope that the skeezy haji dvds with scantily clad for the middle east women on the covers were porn. but nope, no loving dice.

lucked out when near the end of our deployment we got good internet in our CHUs at taji when we'd rotate there for vehicle maintenance.

One time the Stryker I was rolling in got hit by a SVBIED. No serious US injuries. Managed to drive out of the kill zone to a safe location. Got out and saw that there was human hamburger all over one side of the Stryker. The only vaguely intact, recognizable body part?

:dong:

I KNEW IT

Somehow this is the first I've ever heard of it. Glad I never had the pleasure of being introduced.

I don't know if I just have memory problems or my brain is shutting down a lot of memories. I can remember most faces but have trouble remembering names. I think I just blanked out the memories of most of my deployment to Iraq.

:same: dude. Sometimes I vent to my girlfriend and tell her poo poo I've not talked to anyone else about except my war buddies, and half the time I have trouble or just flat out can't remember a dude's name or his face, sometimes even both.

gently caress ever getting captured. I'd rather eat a bullet than that. That one dude who decided it was a good idea to walk off base to go visit his Iraqi girlfriend or some poo poo happened when I was there.
