Festive Times

So I figured Id finally get around to doing a new post. The internet at Warrior is atrocious and so its a pain too do this, but now I'm in Qatar on R&R pass to get some rest. The good news is that the internet here is actually really fast. So, here I am after waiting in Bagram for 10 days on a ride over here, the day finally came. As far as I know, this place is built for R&R and R&R only. Its a pretty big area and so far it looks really nice. There are several tours and such that are available, so I plan on going on a Water Sports Venue. Basically they take you into Doha, the capitol of Qatar and they have jet skis and other water sports available, all of which takes place in the Persian Gulf :) Should be a lot of fun, i don't think too many people I know have been in or near the Persian Gulf. And it should also be mentioned that I have managed to scrounge up a very nice attire for the aforementioned occasion, that occasion being the R&R itself. I dont have any pictures but Ill try my best to describe this glorious clothing selection. I'll be wearing my running shoes, some North Face shorts, a Womens History Month t-shirt, and to top it all off, the cherry if you will... a black blazer that fits perfect, almost as if it was hand tailored to my exact measurements. So there you have it, soak it in, as I don't recommend taking it all in at once, it might be harmful to you and those around you.

Now for the more serious matters. I have been insanely busy with patrols and such in the past few months, which is part of the reason why I haven't updated this thing in so long. Nothing big to report, just a lot of long miserable walks and days in the sun. Cant say too much here so Ill keep it relatively short. I hope all is well with everyone at home, and I cant wait to come back and see everyone again. Stay safe and take care.
