08 February 2007, The question was asked.
The question was, "if you don't have weekends, why bother counting the days till the weekend?" Good question, next.
Just kidding. As of June 21, 2006 I count each and every day, count down, that is. MAJ F has a calendar on his office wall that he made. It has pictures of steaks and lobster tails. Each steak and each lobster represents a Friday in the year and each time he crosses out a steak or lobster we are one week closer to going home. As I've said before, we can't give exact dates but we will be home in time for July 4th, I hope.
The day was nice with some cloud coverage, but still nicer than the reports I'm getting from the States, except a few commenter's in California.
If anyone was scratching your head yesterday looking at the Pay Per Post ad I did, well, I decided since I've seen several of you doing it, and claiming you're making money at it, I thought I could give it a try and use that money to buy that nifty Nikon camera I mentioned a few posts ago. If I do real good, maybe Mrs. Dub can get that diamond she mentioned. I won't try to kill you with them, maybe just one or two a day.
I just came from another soldier reenlisting. SGT G. reenlisted this afternoon for another 6 years. As you remember, I did mine on July 4th here at Camp Phoenix. We have seen quite a few soldiers do this during the deployment. SGT G is even more special in the sense that he doesn't receive a bonus for reenlisting, he's just doing it because he believes in what he is doing and he still enjoys it. I told him I felt like a lady of the night because I did get a bonus for mine. I'm not sure if this helped him or not, but since it wasn't a factor in his decision, I don't think it mattered. Everything else is going pretty good here. Be safe and have a great day.
