Summer Vacation Dead Ahead!
Ahh, vacations. We should all try and take them, with family or friends, to some place nice even if it's just for a little while. You know, to get a way from it all, the stresses of daily routine and work.
Well, what if you could go away for a long vacation, to somewhere hot, a country with an amazing history and with interesting cultures, not only for free but get paid for it, with loads of your good friends...
Sounding good? Lucky me then! Yes, that's right I am in the Army and have 6 months coming up in the most sandy and hottest place I'll probably ever come to know, the one and thankfully ONLY Iraq!
I should be heading away there in May of this year, for my first operational tour after being in the Army for coming up to 18 months now. I've been doing lots of training and have been very busy for a while now, but for what essentially is just going to be me driving a tank all over the place, possibly a bit overkill.
I'm not worried about the prospect of going there but I don't know if that is a good thing or not. It's been fairly quiet and dare I say safe for sometime now, but there is still the element of danger which is always going to exist. I hope it's not foolish of me not being worried about it all, but I won't be doing myself any favors if I scare myself and my family about it.
So, this summer I recommend that you book yourself a nice vacation somewhere, and thank yourself that you are not going to the godforsaken hole that is Iraq.
