    MRD you dirty

    What about the love we shared? The terrible ping I'd have and the terrible connection you'd have, yet we'd still happily kill zombies together.

    You were my brother in zombie blood, and before that, my Made gangster in the original CDTC. We may have died quickly in that, but you won't. You aint allowed to. You're required to get back when you do and play silly computer games with me.

    And thats an order.

    You guys realize what this means? We now have an inside man in Afghanistan, we can get first hand reports, make informed decisions and steer the country to go any way we want it. The influence of the org is expanding. Today Afghanistan, tomorrow the world!

    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    I can already imagine the .org getting an influx of Afghans!

    MRD will be there spreading the .org through the Afghans and Talibans alike!

    Good luck and kick those fanatics out of Afghanistan.

    Good luck and good senses.

    Wish you could tuck that .org funniest member award ribbon to your chest while you're there but some heretics are voting for someone else.

    Oh, and listen to Kukri, make a Facebook page but don't put pictures on it unless you can use a gun and a camera at the same time.
    And be nice to the Afghans!

    For some reason, I keep thinking this thread is a troll. I just can't see MRD signing up in the army.

    No troll.

    Currently at Camp Gruber, a training base for National Guard soldiers in Oklahoma. Being here reminds me why I prefer the Guard over the full time Army. The soldiers here are professional, knowledgeable (a lot of former full timers/marines/etc) and most importantly they are not bitter and miserable like the people I meet at large Army bases.

    The instructors here are compensating for my lack of knowledge in certain things, and giving me a pass on other things that I am already well versed in. This would never happen in the real Army. I'm a prior combat medic, certified EMT and when I branched officer I went Transportation...so guess what classes I don't need? I don't need Combat Life Saver (a tier below combat medic, but still hasn't stopped me from having to take the classes at army bases multiple times after being a medic) and I don't need vanilla Convoy Operations training because I am a convoy commander by trade. So these instructors here let me skip those classes, they check the box, and they train me in something I do need. Meanwhile, the guy who is going with me is a prior Artilleryman, so he gets to skip call for fire instruction. This saves time and gets us off early for the day, so we can take care of personal business related to deployment. Would never happen this way at Ft Hood or Bliss.

    Oddly enough, I will be performing neither of the aforementioned jobs in the Stan.

    One more week here, then a couple days off. 19th We fly to Aderbury. We don't gt the luxury of sendig ur gear over in advace, so it looks like I will be boarding a commercial flight with armybags, armor, an M-4 and a 9mm. I'm sure the civilians won't mind a bit.

    Not sure when I fly out of CONUS. Depends on how long Aderbury takes for things like glasses, dentist, etc. Will likely fly to Uzbekistan an go t Gardez via bird.

    I'm late, but let me wish you the very best of fortune in your endeavours and please return safe and sound. I hope you will take Kukri's wise advice and find a way to let everyone know you're safe.

    Take care, MRD. You'll be missed hereabouts.

    If possible, just log onto the .Org. We should get an updated "Last Activity" date, right? And if you want to give us any mundane details, use the new blog feature. I want pictures of Afghani camels, at the least!

    I believe that is his way of protesting the killing of Afghans, and is saying to you in the harshest of terms not to do that. I think it's quite rude and in very poor taste to wish that upon a soldier, especially when he is shipping off to war. But this is what we are to listen to in a free society. Just remember that without brave folks like yourself defending free nations from the aggressors here, Al Qaeda and the Taleban, we never would have the right to say such things. Also take note of the overwhelming support found on this page.

    Just stay focused, keep your head down, be ready to do what you need to do to survive. Don't worry about this politics.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
