Next year I'll be deployed though, so I wish everybody happy holidays, and I hope those of you who are deployed will be home with your families again soon!Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.

peanut4040 0 #10 December 25, 2008 Hey ski, There is only one way in and one way out of here. Let me know when you are coming into the island paradise-- I'll set up a bonfire with bikini babes and beer. Heads up-- the housing here, is old school unless you are going south and staying down there. I recommend Kandahar for your vacation experience in case you have to go south. The good news is military get first picks on housing because they have to stay longer. The bad news, is the military have to stay longer.Its a good day to LIVE, why puck up a good thing.

theonlyski 8 #11 December 25, 2008 ahh, nah, i guess i didnt make that clear, im going to iraq, not afghan... the housing there kinda sucks too, but well... ive lived in bigger shitholes, so, ill live. well, im looking at the positive side of things, deployment cash = custom mirage g3 and all the canopies and such to go with it, jumpsuit AND pay my bills off... as for the bikini babes and beer... we are lucky to get near beer (which i refuse to drink on principle) and if i get a bikini babe... shes getting locked in the room untill i redeploy"I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theonlyski 8 #13 December 25, 2008 i have no problem drinking beer... or any variant of alcohol atleast once... however, the bullshit they sell to us is non-alcoholic... besides, makes me a cheap date when i get back (altho, that could be bad seeing as the guys down here like getting me drunk to see if im in pain the next morning) so far, they have failed, ive watched them mope around with hangovers while i was talking very loudly to them and/or violently shaking them.
