Boring life..

" haven't been blogging much because there's not really much going on in my life. Much of what I'm doing these days is routine, taking care of the illnesses and so far, minor injuries of a helicopter squadron. I'm not flying CASEVAC (casualty evacuation) so all of the war stories I experience are either second hand or through CNN. We have had some broken bones, not of a serious nature. Biggest culprit? Riding bikes and getting in fist fights with walls. If you're coming out here, remember all of the gyms have punching bags, walls out here are all made of solid concrete and are therefore dangerous, unless you are Superman or the Hulk, a wall is always going to win.


Even though we're deployed to a war zone, most of my Marines have not seen any action except for the aircrew flying and that action has only been muzzle flashes. Three trips out here with 2 different squadrons and what does that add up to? Zero discharges of any of our personal weapons either by accident or on purpose. Unless they came they came from the grunts, 95 percent of us haven't even looked a bad guy in the eye."

Is there an election coming up?
