and i must say....it sucked balls.

the training moreso than anything. two weeks in the field doing absolutely nothing. the first week was hot as balls and the second we got rained on everyday. the entire time we just sat there with our thumbs up our asses. everyone in the platoon did manage to buy a hammock from the local vendors and set them up between our vehicles. so at least we didnt have to sleep on the ground.

we got four days off after that in subic bay. the stories i heard about phillipines being better than thailand were false. maybe if we were allowed to go to manilla things would have been different. :hsdunno: we were restricted to a 5 kilometer area around our ship.

there werent many pictures worth taking. the only ones i have are a few of us doing things with the phillipine marines. i'll get those up sometime. i was drunk off my ass most of the time anyway so i wouldnt have gotten any good pics.
