Where the hell have you been?

Ok I get it so I have been gone for quite a while and have left all of my great readers without anything to read for over a month, well no more will you sit salivating staring at your computer screens in anticipation for the new hardsoldier blog to be posted. Allow me to explain my absence, you see I'm in this placed called Iraq and there just so happens to be a war or something going on and while I am trying to keep myself sane and alive it's kind of hard to get to a computer and write down what's going on in the life of a deployed soldier. So, you want to know what my new pet peeve is you'll never guess. Georgians! not like the good ol US of A georgians like, Ray Charles's hit song Georgia I'm talking from the country of Georgia. In a sudden locust swarm of coalition love the Georgian horde has decended upon our camp by the hundreds. Please by all means don't take any of this the wrong way because I'm glad they are here fighting the good fight and yada yada but, allow me to point out the cultural differences and make fun of these guys. Personal space for one, I like it, you like it, but they have absolutley no concept of it whatsoever. Oh Oh wait the chow hall don't even get me started.....ok I'm started. Georgians swarm the chow hall by the hundreds walking in droves like the undead craving everything from the salad bars and bread basket, because when they are there don't expect any. Just like if you were a little dog and really wanted some dog food but a pack of jackals came and ate all of the cans of puppy chow before you could get your nose in there and take a bite. Yeah they are kind of like that. How about back to the personal space thing. The computer lab for instance let me help you envision it. Small room ten computers with dividers in between for privacy and waiting area for soldiers. Do the Georgians use the waiting area? Hell NO! they are over your shoulder reading the emails you sending to your wife smiling. I think I'm gonna go get me a near beer and pretend it gets me drunk. So untill next time my faithful readers, I first want to thank you for waiting patiently by your computer screens like a an inmates wife. I love this job!

I realize that living with the Georgians is not funny from your end but from where I sit, it is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

Dogs like them are use to that kind of weather. There is nothing to worry about these pets.
