It’s Now, Officially, Cold
There was ice on top of the humvee this morning. It made it a little tricky getting the .50 set up. For those inside the truck, it’s like driving to work: put on a sweater and wait for the heat to come on, but for us in the turret, it starting to feel like Ft. Dix again.
Due to a personnel change, I’ve been able to gun on almost every mission for the last three months. If you really like to gun, surrender your civilian driver’s license before you are activated. You can’t drive a military vehicle without one, so the only other place for you is the gun. I thought about doing it while I was on leave, but as an active duty, Title X Soldier, you can get in a lot of trouble for “pulling a stunt” like that and it would also be what's know in the Army as "screwing your buddy.” But, if you don’t yet have an assigned truck, go for it.

Colin: Hey, this is sponsored by Raytheon, that’s who you want to work for.
Kip: No, that’s DynCorp.
Colin: Oh well, it’s all the same military industrial complex to me.
