After years away I logged back on...where the he'll did everyone go?!?!

When you've been away from this site for years...also because the most action I get is spooning with my dog and I'm not the big spoon...

I just quit man...its not worth it anymore. Going through a divorce in the middle of a deployment doesn't help but whatever. It turns out I "never loved her" and did it "just for the money". That is why there is nothing in my savings, checking, or IRA anymore. I am not trying to put myself on a pedestal but I put up everything I had to marry my wife and take her daughter as my own and now I have my daughter taken away before I can adopt her and am deep into debt...I just don't understand what I have to do anymore because while I do want a happy wife I also do not enjoy living day after day walking on eggshells with threats hanging over my head. I think that there is a huge problem with the mentality people have towards dating now which is affecting marriages. I mean seriously...the amount of stupid rhetoric and cards and facebook posts are increasing but the divorce rate is higher...that's a problem...people are proclaiming they want things that for all intents and purposes are impossible to provide if you want both people to be happy.

Here in the middle east they are really taking up the slack in the soda drinking market...then again health isn't a craze here and, for reasons I can't understand, they don't force their own ideals or values on you here when it comes to this kinda thing. Insha'Allah mentality I guess. For my 2 cents I can say that banning this stuff is not the right answer...I'm gonna die with a smile on my face and that means that a Big Gulp full of Coca Cola is gonna be within arms reach of my corpse.

A woman...with a cold beer...

I feel like this sandstorm sucks...and so does a divorce...but at least I got a beer today mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Oh god I am terribly sorry for not responding to this! Thank you. I am sorry but Uncle Sam has me on a terrible vacation and he forgot to send the internet along...just got on R&R so I have it now...just saw my first boob in 6 months too!

Man this is all funny until you end up in the middle east...now it is just depressing...

I feel fine day after day...but every company run or ruck march I can feel my body start to groan just a little bit more...

The dogs deserve this...they have for a long time now. As for spending on armor...well that is a lost cause. We get approved for everything by people that have never had boots on ground and sit behind a desk...their whole world is in paperwork. More armor wouldn't help anyways...new ROE and holding the President to OPSEC standards would help save more lives. Give us monuments it makes us and our working dogs feel better...at least it makes is seem like people almost care if we die or not.
