Will probably go on for more than just tomorrow. Not like most of those people have anything else to be doing. lol

well surprisingly nothing happened in my area today, but reports show tomorrow it'll pick up again....fine by me, i was funny as hell to hear the kids trying to yell "Fuck You America"...it sounded like "FU YU Amereka" lol....one of our other bases had a breach though so i guess we gotta be on alert now....God I swear if i get pegged with a rock I'm gonna get some sim' rounds and peg 'em back

Here's hoping they don't get any weapons in the protest. The afghan security forces being of any use?

well they were beaten back but came back and "saved the day".....we have reports that there may be suicide bombers mixed in but so far there havn't been explosions in any of the protests so so far so good *knocks on wood* the total casualty count is 11 injured 7 LN's 4 ANA's and 1 unconfirmed dead LN

oh and if anyone reads this and know my GF DO NOT tell her this shit!

I hope that things have settled down in your neck of the woods though the recent attacks in Kabul certainly do not sound encouraging.

I know that all of you guys over there are doing the best you can and really do want to make a difference, and don't get discouraged by a crowd mentality. Sadly, lack of education, employment, and overall frustration with life is going to lead to ugly incident on the part of the locals against the troops.

I hope that things in Afghanistan will end sooner than later, and let us know if you need anything from Stateside. With the Postal Service having flat rate rates to APOs getting you and your fellow troops what you all want is pretty affordable.

thanks for the kind words but as of now i am back in garrison so i'm ok for the time being but if i deploy again i will let you know if i need anything =D

It is great to hear that you are back in a safe place and that you are not currently deployed. Assuming you are back in Germany hopefully you can unwind by seeing sights around Europe especially in Germany itself. If you are where I think you are, then you have plenty of things to do practically at no cost within a few hours of where you are.

Well, if this means anything, the fact remains that in this world it is hard to make everyone let alone anyone happy. As long as you are doing what is right and are not hurting yourself or others, then you are all right.

yeah i went to Berlin this past week and got to see the sights and I got to see the Blue Man Group...and as the Germans say it was "Der Hammer" (it means it was awesome...i guess I'm not sure) to say the least i've had one hell of an awesome week that i desperately needed....god nothing feels better then some well deserved R&R

Rest and relaxation is important especially coming from where you had been. Berlin is a great city, and it sounds like you had a blast! Especially since you are in Germany courtesy of the Army definitely check out places around the country be it Dresden, Munich, Frankfurt aM, Cologne, and the cities of northern Germany such as Hannover. I am not sure if the Army still has organized tours for soldiers anymore in Germany, but I would check out to see if your base has any sort of tours so that you can see as much as Europe as you can. Trust me, Europe is super expensive to see on your own, and your best using your opportunity with the military to get around Europe before you are sent back home.

Well, I really hope that the military gives you folks a break during your time back home especially after the tours of duty that you all have done. Enjoy Europe while you can because so many countries are quite close to you. If you can, then definitely head over to Luxembourg which should not be too far from where you are. If you are so inclined, post some pictures of your adventures because Berlin and other European cities are really neat to see!

it's funny you mention Dresden because my GF has a cousin out there so we visited him on the way to Leipzig. and yes there are many a good places to see out in Germany....especially on Uncle Sam's dime

As for Pic's I will ask my GF (she's the photo bug, not me) to send me all the pics she took.....which i think is over 207 lol

Haha! Well, you can really build up your gallery with that many pictures!

Dresden is a nice city, and I hope you were able to see the rebuilt cathedral. From what I understand, British airmen who had firebombed Dresden during WWII were instrumental in helping rebuild the old church and restore it to its former glory. Especially with Dresden being mostly destroyed during the war I am sure the city even now probably has a very East German feel to it since it was they who remade it into a typical communist city of the times.

Yeah, while you are on Uncle Sam's dime do your best to check out Europe because going to Europe on your own would be quite expensive. There was this one guy I knew who was in the Army and was stationed in Greenland during the Cold War. Apparently, he had an offer to be rotated to West Germany which he turned down because he was too busy partying in Greenland. He always regretted that decision because had he gone to West Germany, then he would have been attached to some General and would have seen most of Europe courtesy of the US Government!

Yeah I know the FA mods and admin are gonna have a shit storm about it lol I may even crash the server XD

And Dresden was a very nice city to go see and yeah it did have a very E G feel to it but overall a very cool place to go see, there's a lot of old buildings to see.

And you gotta take advantage of stuff like that because the Army will fuck you over and hardly has the common decency to give you a reach around, but when it does you gotta enjoy it while you can.......God I think that was the most accurate/ funny analogy I've ever made XD

Oh yeah, I know that the folks who run this place are pretty strict nowdays on what folks can and cannot upload, and I definitely do not want to see you get into trouble for uploading "non furry" stuff. Not meaning to rant and rave, but it is really too bad that the folks on here limit the "non furry" kinds of things people can upload. My view is that a person can express themselves in so many different ways, and it is ironic that fur folks who themselves seek acceptance and tolerance for their lifestyles have discouraged people from displaying non-fur stuff on here. Well, in the end of the day this is a private website, and being on here is a privilage and not a right.


It is great that you had enjoyed Dresden! You are right that Dresden has a mix between the old East Germany and pre-war Germany. One of the few German cities in the west of the country that I can say that had survived the Second World War pretty intact is Heidelburg, and you should definitely check that place out if you have not already. I know that there was a big US military installation there back in the days, and it used to be the HQ of the 7th Army if I am not mistaken. In either case, Heidelberg is well worth the trip especially Bismarck Square. Also, not too far down the Autobahn is Darmstadt, and that is also a nice city to do a day trip. The five fingered tower and the Russian Orthodox Church in Darmstadt are must sees in that place. Spring/Summer in Darmstadt is particularly nice.

I completely agree with you that taking advantage of the Army's benefits is important especially while you are overseas and have access to the COLA. I like the last sentence of your post above, and you definitely have a way with words!

yeah i is quite a shame but what can ya do? it FA's rules and we gotta abide by them, it's like the Army....i may not agree with what they say or want me to do but i have to obey my commands. i guess i could get a tumblr or something

Dresden was cool.....not oly was it a mix of east and west but it was also a mix of old and modern...there were a lot of old buildings and areas and a lot of new age stuff as well....it is a very cool place to go see if you got the time and money

Why thank you, i do like to fancy myself a writer lol
