Reply #91: I should point

out I never been to Afghanistan just Iraq. I feel that I fair amount of knowledge what facilities bases have from Kuwait to Iraq because I was a long haul truck driver (like semi trucks in the US but our trailers had an extra axle so it was a "22-wheeler" rather than "18 wheeler") but you're right it is a mix. Some bases had much more than others, Camp Arif Jan in Kuwait is the best when it comes to those kind of things but it is south of Kuwait City which averages 117 in the summertime. It is way hotter than where I live now--Phoenix, Arizona.

What you said makes PERFECT sense. After I came back I was going through alcoholism, depression, anxiety attacks, and started to get into trouble where before I was deployed (and during) I had a spotless record. When we had some new soldiers in the unit and when soldiers who deployed with me pointed out to them about me the new soldiers asked me, "Why? Is it because you don't want to deploy(we had a deployment date but it was relatively far down the road)" I told them no and that I would actually be willing to pack my duffel bags to head out. I can't explain it in a way it makes sense, it is like everything in Iraq made sense while things going on the states didn't.

Yes living in the US now. No longer AD or RA or guard.
