HOLY SHIT!!! I got sprayed by pepper spray today... that stuff is no joke. My face is still on fire, 3 hours later. It was by far the most painful experience in my life. At least the Ball is on Sunday... that will help take my mind off it...

Wow... Going to be sore as hell tomorrow. Did riot control and non-lethal combat techniques today. We did batons and pressure points. Essentially it was to see how much pain we could take. some of the points had us kneeling on the ground, and one of my friends passed out. Friday is the day we all get sprayed with pepper spray, just so we all...

Looks like a new truck on the way. Another Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4, still red, just 2003 instead of 1993. I can't wait... Looks like it is back to Iraq for two months come March. I don't feel like giving the Iraqis a second chance to kill me, but I fight so you don't have to.

Have you ever noticed how fucked up life can be? Right now I'm screwing everything up, I have a ticket to the ball but no date, one of my uncles is dying, I don't know who is a friend and who is not anymore, I'm tired of all the bullshit that is going on right now. I almost had a nervous break down and to...
