Notes from Tommie

posted by tommie on Oct 25

Yet again I’ve I’ve been drawn away from my blog by the every day occurrences of Iraq. Lately I’ve been trying to jot down all my ideas about politics and government, story ideas, and keep up with work. On the bright side I did sign off my leave counseling statement a few days ago which means it is only a few weeks left to go.

In addition to getting ready for leave and redeployment now I got to get my stuff ready to change rooms. That means narrowing down the crap that I have somehow managed to gather during this deployment to what I actually intend to keep, shipping home the additions to my book collection and mail my keyboard home.

But back on track and in large in Iraq. Work is just as slow and busy as usual. Long shifts of the same thing day in and day out; however, it is much better than going out of the wire I suppose. All I know is that it’ll be a much needed break to finally come home for a little while. Still no date as of yet, be then again I couldn’t say anything about it anyways due to operational security.

Alas it is already after four in the morning and I still have to get up in the morning to pull internet guard. Not exactly crazy entertaining but it gets me away from the usual dilly dally of the work routine. Have a wonderful day and take care of yourselves!

Out of ideas and exhausted as hell, Tommie Lee Roberts (a.k.a. Pup)
