Try Kava. That stuff is like natural valium.

Don't be afraid, Seth. I cast a prayer of protection over you after I read this.

CamFu · 01-24-2005, 03:05 PM

Ace195, good luck to you. This will be a life changing experience. For the good or bad, is how you look at. What ever happens, never forget why you are doing this.

Acebot44 · 01-24-2005, 05:42 PM

Good luck man. Have a safe flight!

Typhoid · 01-24-2005, 08:20 PM

Stay Safe.

Let's pray for a short tour of duty.

If you get hurt or killed out there, I'll kill you.

Keep your head down and your eyes open.

Come on now, don't use that excuse. I had no choice

Anyway you look at it, you signed the paper. For whatever reason that my be, you still had a choice. Please don't blame your desicions on anyone or anything else, a lot of respect will be lost.

You do learn alot about people when they are in certain situations. And this is one of those situations.

Now, I'm not saying you can't complain. It's just the wrong attitude with the whole "Because he's has no choice." Actually, you will be reading in the Stars and Stripes (Letters to the Editor section) from the area, that all people will do is complain about their situation. Just try to not fall into that attitude. Believe it or not, I kept a somewhat positive attitude while I was deployed. Sometimes, things got to me, but I tried not to let that hinder my motovation.

I'm going to guess your either A in the Airforce or B in the Navy because there is no way to keep a happy lifestyle on a year tour..

You had a choice, you no longer have a choice. And with the horrible way things are being run, there is every reason to complain. When your life is at a greater risk because of the incompetency of the leadership, why keep a positive attitude and pretend to like it? I prefer to be honest.

But then again, no one in my battalion has a positive attitude. 0.5% re-enlistment baby! w00t!
