Those days are gone. I don't think we will ever see those prices again. Not unless we take over Iraq forever

I see wha you mean about not all that interesting. Even it you are in these movments you get bored. These guys go somewherein a hurry and then sit around and wait, while trying to find somthing interesting to do. They play a lot of cards. I am sure that gets old fast. I am just not looking forward to seeing any more tropps getting injured of killed. I have a lot of friends and aquaintences(sp) over in Kuwait now.

Yeah. I rotated through Kuwait once. Did a year in Bosnia. On my 355th day in Bosnia... Kosovo kicked off. On my 364th day in Bosnia, I was on a C-17 to Albania where I was for another 3 months... It's really boring. Especially when you are a HQ support unit that has to deal with all the politics of being with all the big 4-star Generals.... It sucks ***. Seen a lot of **** in my day. Have 5 rows of ribbons...(Hmmm... that might be picture material soon...) I pray for the troops that have to do that ****. I'm a telecomminication switch engineer in my REAL army job... And I saw a lot... I can only imagine what other people see.
