welcome to another rendition of the rusted tree. as some of you know i have since deployed to overseas. its not that bad...at the moment. as the temperature is at a constant comfortabe degree. so thats good till bout april i hear. thats when someone decides to turn the oven on and fry us for a good several months...joy. it is definitly a surreal experience being out here though. i've seen this shit in the movies and read about it in books, and have heard stories from others who have made their way here and have lived through. Now i am among those that can have their stories for their kids when they read about the war and events in their history books. i can actualy have something to make me younger years worth something. Now when my little demons infest the earth and question "daddy what was it like over there?" "well it was hot and it constantly smelled of shit..." yep thats about it. sounds interesting to me, and prolly make a good book one day. we can call it...DAMN! THIS PLACE SMELLS OF SHIT!
so yeah. it is now officially one week down. and so many more to go. it makes it seem daunting and can really be stressfull if you sit and think of how much time one has left in the oven where everyone who is a national probably wants to see you dead, but looks at you with a smile and a friendly wave. but one must strive on if you want to eventually be able to go back home and see your family again with a sane mind.
other than those thoughts its not a bad place. sand as far as the eyes can see. every now and then you can catch a beautiful sunset, and you are surrounded by fellow brothers and sisters who are in the same situation as you are. thats all for today. i hope to post at least once a week till my return to the great states of home. hope you all stay safe and look out for each other. i miss you guys and thik of everyone constantly.
peace and chicken grease
