I been bad!!!

I feel bad I been neglecting my blog. I just been enjoying my time home with all my family and friends. I got to have breakfast with my older brothers, and it rare to have all 3 of us in the same room. I found out my brother is having a baby, his wife is 3 months pregnant, so im going to be a uncle. My oldest brother is going to the police academy im so proud of him. My littlest brother is now bigger then me. My best friend is still does not have a job after more then half a year but I love him. But these 2 pics were taken in Vegas, I had fun. Won 600 dallors one night, got pretty drunk the next, while the bartenders found out we got back from iraq so she hooked us up with shots as seen from above. Last friday I took my stepdad out to the club and we had a blast, it feels weird to drink with him becasue I never did. But im not neglecting my blog no more.

Last Saturday

So last Saturday I found someone who wanted to go out and they said they would drive there truck. So finally I got to go out and drink, so we went to Savannah. Its one of the biggest city's in this area, we went bar hopping, and I talked to a few females, but it was more like "hi how are you?" Still fells weird, like im doing something wrong. Of course everyone was giving me shit for being so shy, but when it feels right ill know what to do.



But after 3am bars closed and there was is strip club in South Carolina that everyone wanted to hit up, they dont stop serving till 6am. So we go there and its packed and there more females then males there. So I see some people that I know and they come up to me, there all happy to see me and there like come with me we have a VIP Room. So I get me a beer im sitting there bullshitten with everyone. I have this urge to give a stripper a lap dance. So Im walking around looking for the baddest stripper, I see her. So I go up to her and ask "How much is it for me to give you a lap dance?" She started laughing, she is use to giving them not reciving them. So she is like $20 for 2 songs, its just 20 dallors. So we go in to the VIP room. We are talking I asked her to lay down some rules for me, she told me don't whip my thing out, and dont obsessively touch her. So the song starts and I take my shirt off and she is sitting down and I stand over her and take her hands and and put them on my chest and rub them down to my abs. I start making my chest muscles bounce up and down. I put my head in between her legs and roll the top of my head around her area. She is just laughin, she says "I cant believe this is happening." I m sitting there humping her but yet im keeping a good distance making her feel comfortable. While all this is going down everyone is cheering for me. I would have to say that was a first for me. Even though she should have payed me for it. But it was fun.

My Video

I made this 9 min video of Iraq, Its a little bit of everyting that we did over this 15 month deployment. I made this so when I go home people will stop asking me what is Iraq like? I hate that question along with "Have you killed anyone?" You want to know what Iraq is like grab your balls and raise your right hand. Then when im home on leave people ask me "you kill anyone." I mean honesty what kind of question is that. If I want you to know I will tell you. Then when I was home on leave, people want to give me advice, and these people have no military experience, so if u havent been to Iraq dont give me Iraq advice. People who have been over there want to give me advice on things I already know. You want to know what Iraq is like watch this freakin video, its 9 mins long. Sorry about the music I added my selection is very limited.

Be Safe

After coming back from a deployment you expect Soldiers to party hard, you figure we have to make up for time lost. For the past 3 weeks we been getting nothing but safety classes, don't drink and drive basically sums it all up. They drill this in to us, use a DD call someone for a ride. Take a cab to the headquarters there is a taxi fund up there. Its so annoying but recently 1 cavalry division out of fort hood tx redeployed back home and lost 5 Soldiers in the first 75 hours of being home. This upsets me, you survive a combat zone and go home a drink and drive, and that's how all 5 of them died behind the wheel. They decided to consume alcohol and get behind the wheel, of course they crashed at a high rate of speed. My division lost 4 Soldiers when I was in Iraq, when you leave my post there is this sign that says 186 days since are last fatal accident. This is a serious problem and I'm glad that Army is trying to do something about it. I have everyone phone number in the squad, we have a obligation to call one of them up if we ever need a ride, just how I have one to pick them up. Drinking and Driving is a serious topic, you can be careless with your life but there is other people on the road that are doing the right thing. Ill admit I have driven home drunk a few times, but not anymore. All I ask is that you do not Drink and Drive.

Home

Been busy moving in to my trailer, moving my stuff from storage, going shopping, getting my cell phone, and getting drunk. I do not have internet yet, which sucks becasue I cant blog and read about blogs. But im looking for a provider. It feels semi good to be home, I do miss my wife like crazy.

Funny Times

I think we are pretty good at are job. But we make mistakes sometimes are at times we just don't care. So here the top 5 funniest moments that take place out in sector that stick out in my mind.

Doing a patrol I'm the truck commander for the lead Humvee. There is these big barriers ahead, my driver is heading right for them. I tell him to "push left," Well he doesn't push left, so the gunner and I start yelling it "PUSH LEFT" BAM!!! Hits the barrier on my side, rippen all the armour off my door and the back door, glass all over me. The drivers excuses, "I did not see it, I was to scared to drive off the road, I thought you meant go left out in to the middle of the desert." Was not funny at the time but now it is. He does not drive anymore.

Doing a raid on a house, My squad leader tells one of my team members to kick open the gate. Well he tried and bounced back almost falling to the ground, I remember . His excuse "I kicked it with the wrong leg." Right.

The Iraqi Police officer had this truck stopped in are way, so I radio back to my squad leader "hey my dismounts are getting out to get this truck out the way." Well the Humvee starts moving, I'm like "what the fuck!!!" I look right nobody is in the drivers seat. I start yelling "hey stop the Humvee!!!" Ahead of us is a dirt mound with C wire running along the top of it, I got scared. The driver tried to run in the Humvee but the door hit the back of the truck closing it. With all my gear on there is no way I'm going to climb out my seat and squeeze in to the drivers seat to step on the break. My gunner gets body armour gets caught so he is stuck. But the driver stopped the Humvee in time. I started to yell "who the hell told you to get out the Humvee." Not funny at the time, but laugh about it now.

So we ride in Bradley's (just Imagine a Tank) in the city and they drop us off so we can do are patrol. Well after 3 hours of walking around they radio us, "Hey we broke track." So we walk over there, all of us are dripping wet because its like 100 plus out and its night time. So we are were trying to put the track back on in the middle of the city. Its freakin hard with 40 pounds of gear on you. So I'm like "fuck this shit" I'm hot, hungry, and thirsty. I take all my gear off, I told my LT I did not care. Well a 3 hour patrol turned in to a damn 7 hour patrol. We ended up breaking track again that night, but this time over a sewage pipe that broke. Not funny at the time, and its still not funny.

So we are doing the big operation that was 3 days long, we were clearing out this whole town, door to door. Its July its 140 plus i been walking all day clearing home, onces again I'm hot, hungry, and thirsty. We start getting shot at, I said "fuck this" and sat down on some steps. Well my squad leader joined me to along with every other American Soldier. We just sent the Iraqi Army to go find that bum. Of course we did not find him, that's why I did not waste my time running down the road looking for him. Its was funny how we all got shot at and just walked to these steps that were in the shade.

Alpha Company

So my battalion been having these competitions these past 2 days. Well 2 days ago we played a football game of course me being a shut down corner that I am was playing. We beat the other Infantry Company in are battalion, them boys were mad, all the shit talking of course me I love running my mouth. I have this saying "70 percent of the earth is covered by water, the rest is covered by me." That's just me when I play im cocky, I talk shit. Let that other person know hey im guarding you so don't expect the ball to be thrown much at you today. Yea we won, my company is 2-0 and I did give up a touchdown, but I let him have it we were up by 1 3 with 5 seconds left. So it didn't matter to me. People in the company been callin me shut down corner.



Today they decided to have a 10 man 10 mile relay race, with all the company's in the battalion going against either. Well somehow the company commander picks 6 guys just from are platoon to run in this damn race, and Iam one of them. I did not want to run this full out mile. But I guess im one of the 10 best runners in the company. Yea I been working out but cardio takes time to build up and I just started to run a week and half ago. Last time I ran competitively was highschool track. So I made sure to drink plenty of fluids the night before the race. So all the runner are at there spots and I'm pacen back and fourth, running and jumping around trying to get psyched for the mile. Someone yells there coming. Its just one guy from another company, so im waiting and waiting. "God damn were is everyone else?" there comes my cuz sucking, I yell "hurry ur ass up I have ground to make up." By this time this guy has a 14 second lead on me. I get tagged I start to sprint, its only a mile its all heart. Im running and im already hurting. So im thinking to myself "think of something happy" so im thinking and thinking "what the fuck makes me happy I say to myself in my head." So I think of a certain girl, she reads my blog regulary, I had "Alright alright" I say to myself as I pick up my pace. :Well what do you want to do to this girl?". I imagine myself taking her out on the date, some fancy restaurant and we feed either icecream at the end. We go for a walk on the riverfront board walk I picture in my head, while we hold hands. We end up kissing, I remember saying to myself after I imagined the kiss, "There is alot more were that come from." Gay I know but im trying to keep my mind off the pain in my legs, butt, and lungs. I just imagine myself getting it in with this certain girl. Bam I see the guy that was ahead of me, def gained ground on him he was about 75 meters ahead of me but I closed the gab big time. My mile time is not what It use to be, I ran 5:50 mile, I think that is good for not running the past 8 months. We ended up winning the race by a whole minute. By the way im almost home!!!!
