REPORT FROM THE BUNKER
Our friend Wags got himself shipped off to Saudi to defend us. But he doesnt have to
suffer alone. Here you can read of his exploits in the Gulf, and how much he hates it.

Sat in the box today. Thats what I do all the fuckin'
time, sit and watch the dust fly by. Today on the other hand I got the bitch patrol,
that's where I go and relieve people so they can go to the bathroom and eat, I also take
out the garbage, deliver messages and check sensors. I wonder a lot what the hell is going
on back in the states. People out there who think they got it bad, believe me it could be
worse....you could be here.

Day can turn into night here quickly
Sat in the box today. nothing came on. Smashed the radio cause it
didn't work again. Got extra duty because of it. Damn it sucks here. You know what I
miss?.......Being able to not step in camel shit when we have to march. I also miss the
fact that on every corner here there is nothing but sand and no food. The nearest damn
food place is about a 2 mile hike which I don't feel like taking. Bastards have to make
everything difficult. This is the kind of place that if you don't like it from the start
then you will hate for the rest of your fuckin' life.
And the truth shall set you free,

Day, it's something I don't see cause I work nights
Sat in front of a damn desk. Country was all that came on. Smashed the
radio not once but three times. Got praised because of it(not everyone here likes
country). Damn it sucks here. You know what I miss?.......Good god damn music.
Everything here is either mixes of songs that can't be mixed or Habib singing the
blues. Holy shit, what I wouldn't give to go home and listen to the fuckin' radio
with a shot of old JD. Did I forget to mention, all alcoholic beverages are not only
illegal but forbidden by religion. I shit you not. Now you see why it sucks so
bad here. The culture is something else, I guess you would have to be here to see
what I mean.
Peace from the middle East(if there is such a thing)

Day is today
Sat in the box today. Big boss came out. Smashed things. Got latrine
duty because of it. Damn it sucks here. You know what I miss?.......I miss the fact
that back home I could go to the damn bathroom without 5 or 6 guys in there or waking
every Tom, Dick and Harry while I walk out of my tent. Thats another thing I miss is
being able to sleep in a bed not a cot, being able to walk into a room not a damn tent and
being able to take an actual shower and not share a bag with three other guys.

latrine duty because of it. Damn it sucks here. You know what I miss?.......the damn
English language, I mean come on you can only stand so much gibberish before you have to

here now, you don't want to be here if you can help it the people hate Americans with a

The middle East, the main producers of damn terrorists.
