So I've been out here for two weeks so far leaving me with just one week left to go. Been busy providing support to 10th Marines artillery, and though it sucks hard that I missed FWA, I still had a few small good times out here. Today was the highlight with myself and another good buddy of mine leading some fellow Marines to the artillery firing lines. The gun crews and their OIC were happy to give us a rundown of their activities and operations, and even let us pull the firing lanyard on the M777s during fire missions (talk about some serious shockwavage). =P

Upon returning and taking accountability, I informed a few coworkers that I was going to go "PT" which is code for sneak down to the cold, murky stream for a bath (had already done it twice). Shortly there after, I was informed that I would be going with two others to the mainside of Fort Bragg to take care of some things for one of our junior Marines, and that I would get the chance to take a shower at one of the gyms.
Happy was I!
I actually took a good hot shower instead of wading bare assed through freezing water and muck that'd suck you in all the way up to your little friends. I feel like a million bucks.

To add a cherry on top of my cake of a day, we made a couple pit stops to the PX to stock up on mad amounts of energy drinks as well as Burger King to remind our taste buds what good o'l greasy American fast food tastes like.

Now I'm back in my little tent (We moved from large squad sized tents to individual tents last week). I'm clean, content, and have a backpack full of energy drinks and beef jerky. Only one week left to go. Can't wait to see everyone when I get back.

Love all of ya!
