"Fear breads a deadening caution, a holding back, a stagnant waiting until people no longer can recall what they are waiting for or saving themselves for. When we fear failure more than we love life; when we are dominated by thoughts of what we might have been rather than by thoughts of what we might become; when we are haunted by the disparity between our ideal self and our real self; when we are tormented by guilt, shame, remorse, and self-condemnation, we deny our faith in the God of love."

Tongue Tied

What can I say people. The holding pattern here has my tongue tied. Alright, let me put out some info for my people being tortured at Camp Funston still. It’s a good idea to stock up on some things before you leave, maybe about a months worth of general medicines and cold type meds. Get plenty of blistex type products. The lips stay dry here and you don’t want cracking lips while fighting Taliban. It just wouldn’t be right. You want your lips moist when you tell them to kiss your bum through your optics. Remember, they are the reason we’re here. Otherwise, don’t break your back with extra meds. Don’t buy safes for your narcotics while stateside. You can use FOO or some other Class money here. When you get to Camp Phoenix you can mug the hell out of their Class VIII. You will have a few days there so if you bring a tuff box for your medical gear, leave some room in it. It will be your main Class VIII so get what you can. Most other places you’ll have to submit a supply request and wait for the angels of mercy (c130s and c17) to fly it in.
Ward, hope all is going well with that new gym you guys have. You have high speed internet yet?  Sorry, I had to.
Because I have nothing major to put out I’ll send a “shout out” or whatever the heck they call it. Here’s to my people in Georgia….go Dawgs. My people in Ohio….go Buckeyes, Wolverines bite. For Josh, my future brother in law…..go gators…….blah blah blah. Believe it or not he’s a good guy despite his loyalties to an inferior species. He and my sister in law got engaged last week. Finally!
