Getting closer

So yeah, I have just over a month before I get out of this god forsaken place. I recently had a conversation in which a comment about being in hell was made. I felt compelled to remind them that we are not in hell. In hell there are 7 levels, which means every so often you do something different than the day before.

Well thats not 100% true. I start on a guard point in the next couple of days and then I'll do that everyday until I leave. Skippy. Ah well, I shouldn't complain too much, at least I'll be away from Ceaser and his innane ramblings. "you know there is too much dust on this base, we need to do something about all the dust. I'm getting tired of everything looking dirty." Earth to fucktard, memo for you, WE ARE IN IRAQ!!!! The entire country is on big dust ball covered in powdered camel shit, nothing is going to stay clean for more than two minutes.

I swear its people like this that are the reason the war costs are so damn high. We moved building a while back, and when we got there one of the main concerns is, get this, there was no flag pole. FLAG POLE!?!?! So we have to contract KBR to get a flag pole put in, god knows what this costs the army. KBR workers make an average of $100,000 a year over here, EACH!!! So between paperwork, labor, and materials I'm betting that was $50,000 to get that flag pole put in. Then as they are installing this 25ft metal phallus, THEY CUT THE FIBER OPTIC LINE INTO THE BUILDING!!! The fiber ring isn't even completely installed on post yet and they ended up cutting the line to put in a flag pole.

So what is the importance of the flag pole you ask? Is it some kind of force protection measure. Some sort of signal flag to warn troops to move to safety? Nope its so he can display his commanders flag so people know he's at work. *headdesk*

I give up.
