$300 to make you hollar

"So right after getting back from Qatar, we were thrown out on a bridge overwatch mission, which I actually enjoy. It's the closest thing on this deployment that utilizes the hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars the Army spent training me to be an Infantryman. We basically secure a bridge in our AO that all of our convoys pass through, and deter bombers, hijackers, and other whippersnappers from fucking with the precious supply line of Sherbert ice cream and Rockstar energy drinks. We interact with a lot of locals, which is a good chance to practice some Arabic and also do some do-goodering. The kids asked for "Joose" the past few times we were here and this time we brought some cases of juice boxes from the class 1 yard. The kids gave us puzzled, sad looks. "No, no, JOOSE...JOO-OO-SEEE" scolds one of the kids. Then she points to her feet. "Oh, shoes?" "Yes, yes! JOOSE". Oh. Next time we'll bring shoes I guess."
