I have been in the Army a while. Last week marks eight years. Seems like forever ago I was a scrawny 17 year old idealistic kid with something to prove. Now, I am a Combat Veteran of two Wars, with two tours, in two theaters. I just graduated from College too. With all of these accomplishments, there are a few things that really set me off and get me UBER pissed. One is muzzle awareness, I had a pistol pointed at me overseas by a dumbass wannabe thug who thought it was humorous. He wasn't laughing when I finished yelling and writing the counseling form and the sworn statement for the Military Police. The other thing that will set me off, is a lack of communication between people and between two organizations. Any Combat Vet can tell you how bad and how serious things get when Comms fail. It can mean life or death. I absolutely HATE operating in a vacuum. I transferred to the online campus of my College when I found out about my Orders overseas for this tour. I was happy, because the regular campus has a serious lack of communication and delights in operating in a vacuum.
I finally finish my courses and graduate, and I have to go back to the actual campus for my Degree. I remember filling out paperwork in Baghdad saying I don't want a ceremony, just the Vellum. Apparently nobody reads anything anymore!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!! I want that paper!!!! I cannot apply to any Agencies, PD's, even fucking Starbucks until I get it!!! FUCK! Just send me the Diploma and get it over with! Sooooo pissed at College right now!

Lol, for a good place you gotta come down to VA. Pev's out here and a little farther west has a great open area to play in. Like an urban village layout. My team, although we haven't played in forever is/was made up or a majority of Combat Veterans, so we play a little more aggressively in terms of tactics and firepower, i.e. we bring a serious amount of paint to bear on whereever we see the other team, lol. Then two of us get behind them and its over! lol
