Holy crap man I remember your post before you left, its hard to think youve been in a war zone this whole time. If you dont mind can you tell us a bit more about it, a couple stories or anecdotes or something? It would be a rarity to hear army stories from a fellow toker and not from an all American boy that just wants to tell you how patriotic and bad ass he was

Good luck with civilian life, it might be pretty weird for a while:thumbsup:

Have you gotten high yet?

You haven't missed much.

I probably got to move this re-intro thread to introduction.

nextline~ its going to take awhile to unwind from being over there. ive only been in the US a few hours, it hasnt really sunk in yet. i've been awake for about 48 hours ( i cant sleep on planes) and im a little out of it. its quiet here, no generators or helicopters, and it smells nice. lol its the little things.


fakeboobs, i know my friends are going to try to get me to smoke when i get back to my hometown, but i dunno, i hung up the smoking shoes awhile ago, but it might be nice to take a toke or two.

dust storms sucked.

Wow, when you left in September, gas prices were outrageous but the economy was still trucking along. People were worried about excess gas costs taking money out of their pocket. Little did many know about the credit crisis that was going on.

Now, gas prices are reasonable but the economy has tanked, stock prices have been slammed, half the country's wealth just evaporated, and many people are looking at much smaller 401K statements.

What do you think about the commander in chief's new military rules about being openly gay and serving in the military?

How much American news did you get? Were you stationed at a base or what?

First of all, THANK YOU for your service to your country. Second, Welcome Back, it's good that you made it home. I'm sure you have memories..good and bad. Please remember OPSEC while sharing any stories with us. How long are you home? How many tours? I had a brief stint in the Guard until medical discharged me. Never deployed .Once again, welcome back from the Sandbox. God Bless You.:hippy:
