Wife just txt’d me from church. I txt’d her back. Hope it was really quiet when she read it and burst out laughing. Need a ride to hell?
I think its almost time to start the countdown. Less than a month left in Iraq.
Oh oh Detroit…do you smell it? Yeah, we do. Smells like victory. <—-@dixbert is super good at bandwagon leadership
Sometimes things make no sense. Then I think about it for second and they do. It’s them, not me.
Just writing the email that will get you fired makes you feel better. You just don’t send it. Very theraputic.
OK to watch hollywood movies but NOT videos posted by military leaders…the miltary and social media are really butting heads.
unable to access contacts in gmail message appeared, but I still SEE my contacts in the chat list…odd.
Its not even 100 degrees in Basrah right now. Where’s my coat?
RT @MNCIraq Become An Example…http://bit.ly/3u4taW Can someone watch this and post a snyopsis? Youtube blocked at MND-S. :(
gmail just made me do a captcha to prove I am human - they’re getting hammered by something!
RT @ArmyMom101 Here is a LOUD Shout #MilWife @Kiki870 could use some more #Mil followers ~ Make sure to give Kiki a shout!
I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Dan Brown book…http://is.gd/3xebi
Early day tomorrow, heading back to my OWN tent in Basrah for the rest of the time here in Iraq. Next tent? Kuwait probably. #fb
Thunder and lightning and light rain in Baghdad tonight. LOVE the sound of rain on a tent.
Hey, how about them Twins!? Go get em guys, Detroit ain’t all that.
Time to wake up and go kick another day in Iraq straight to the curb.
Good morning world!
What a bunch of wasted days.

Another day in the books. I am in Baghdad, and I never thought I would say it, but I miss Basrah. At least I have my “stuff” there.

Nerd Venn Diagram http://bit.ly/4B4kab (via @tomlommel - now i get it. Sort of.
And yes, Victory Base Camp does have wireless internet. The best in Iraq I have found so far.
I just ousted @everybody as the mayor of Camp Victory, Iraq on @foursquare. Just kidding, there is no foursquare in Iraq.
Let’s just say Baghdad and I don’t agree, gastro-intestinally speaking.
Going to go ahead and go to bed early. Or just really late for last night - cause I never really went to bed the night before CPO pinning.
Finally got to a connection where I could use Tweetdeck, and it doesn’t work!
Well hello there Mr. Headache that comes from lack of sleep. Good night everyone else.
thanks for the #MilitaryMon tweets peeps. @ShariJ01 @wallfrog @ArmyMom101 @KCL2 @reenit @lilsis1957 @pbr67 & @BostonMaggie, you rock!
Packing for my visit to Baghdad, but my laundry isn’t done yet. D’oh!
Wireless in the lounge at Ali Base - its like a real airport! Except for the guns and helicopters and what not.
Getting pretty good at the difficult things. Easy things pile up fast though.
Blocking ppl that invite me to join their mob is how I whack them. Just saying…
RT @deborahmullen 2day is Ombudsman Appreciation Day. Sincere thanx 2 the dedicated volunteers who support USN families. HECK YA!
not happy about missing RIVRON’s CPO pinning after spending 6 weeks with that mess and those Selectees.
I’d like to publicly thank the makers of extra strength Tylenol and those who brought it to the PX in Basrah, Iraq for me to buy.
Got enough done to call it a day. It’s called “Stupid day” though. Later folks.
Check this out…that’s a huge part of Iraq’s economy right there. Go Navy! (Ok, and Coast Gaurd too! :) http://is.gd/3g1Xv
RT @BostonMaggie WooHoo! We’ve passed a thousand #militarymon Tweets! Currently 1,121 http://bit.ly/GXLUL
Taking care of Sailors, even “below standards” ones. It’s not about “putting on your Chief’s hat” brothers; It’s about never taking it off.
RT @BostonMaggie OK, drumroll please! Time for my fav part of #militarymon - #USNavy Tweeps! (how do you tweet a drumroll?!)
I am not so good at tedious things.
found out who sent the cookies and sent them a thank you. Karma rocks.
just traded a 2 lb bag of jolly ranchers for 4 homemade (from someone’s home) oatmeal raisin cookies - care package black market!!! FTW!
Good morning Americans! Get the hell back to work! And to school! Slackers.
I hate it when I don’t get the memo.
Have I mentioned how crappy the mouse is on almost all the computers in the MWR tent. Argh!!!
Actually, let’s just say all the computers and everything connected to the computers in the MWR tent suck. That’s more accurate.
One of the CPO selectees back home is a GREAT grandfather. Glad he made Chief, he’s probably LOOKED like one for years.
