Day 320

Originally uploaded by Anthony J. Martinez

Today I went to the PX and paid $18 for a filthy, flimsy, plastic footlocker. A few hours later, and after an encounter with a water hose, it was full of the extraneous civilian junk I packed for no good reason. During OIF3, I mailed a similar box back home, to limit the amount of crap I have to carry back to the states. I’m doing the same thing this time around, only my goal is to have as little to hand carry as possible – and virtually nothing I won’t be turning back in at CIF in my possession when I get back. That should all help me get out of the Army as quickly as possible once we redeploy.
