In 2003 in Baghdad we watched Band of Brothers, and lived off of 50 Cent music, in 2004 I was in Afghanistan and on down time I played alot of Grand Theft Auto and we had like HALO networked around our CHU's. in 2007 IRAQ, I ran the internet for the Battalion so all the Soldiers could talk to their love ones when they weren't on mission

I was on 24 hour response so if I went out on IEDs, VBIEDs, roadside bombs, enemy caches, post-blast investigations, did UXO investigations/disposed of UXOs or suspected any of the aboves, any time day or night with a 10-15 minute roll-out from the unit.

IF I had spare time I caught up on my After Action reports, did intell on recovered IED components, rehabbed robots and equipment, did vehicle maintenance, did laundry, worked out/ran, talked to the family, or veged out watching TV or playing the occasional video game.

I lift heavy things and put them down. Read books and draw.
