    Default In the door

    So finally we'r about ready to get in country. The news the last couple weeks haven't helped what our mission is going to be any. Interacting with the populace is going to be an even bigger challenge than before. MOBE site went well, went through the usual of losing a couple folks and other shenanigans, but we're finally at an outlying country. There's been a lot of push from other units to get in country and we're running across folks coming out as well. Once more unto the breach, this time Afghanistan.

    Stay safe Brother, Iraq and Afghanistan are two different worlds. Just rely on your training and experience, and get your fourth point back here.

    Check in as you can, be safe, when in doubt shoot it.

    Why tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at deaths door?

    Watch yourself and your fellow troopers.
    There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. E. A. Blair
