of beards and wake up calls....

Yes, I'm growing my beard, but I don't have squat on this guy. That, in the words of Eddie I., is a Huge F*** Off beard. I don't think I'll let mine get that long, but close.Actually, facial hair is a sign of wisdom to the Afghan's. So it's not just my being lazy and not wanting to shave. This fine Gentleman is the Principle at the local school.

Hey, we've had two more of those Boom in the Night incidents since the last time. Both friendly, but about a week ago at about 0200hrs, (that's 2:00 am) I was jolted out of a nice sound sleep. I got up and went to the radio room just in time to hear that it was Outgoing. Someone opened our front door, right when another went off. Now our base is pretty big and I'm not sure where they shoot them from, but it was pretty frigging loud. Crack then boom. Then two nights ago, again. But, I could hear a lot of guys up and about. Not like last time. The funny thing is, I didn't move, just opened my eyes and listened. Couple seconds later, I heard the Outgoing. How's that for complacency. What can I say, I was very comfy. Six shots that time.
