We landed at CENSORED at approximately CENSORED. We were told by an overpaid contractor that we were to report the following morning at CENSORED to be manifested for the next leg of our flight home. We arrived promptly at CENSORED to be asked, “Why weren’t you on the flight at CENSORED last night? You will probably be here for a few more days until we can find you another flight.”
Of course soldiers would never tell their families when they were going to be home (wink, wink) on account of OPSEC (see Censoring above). I do not know how much money is spent on OPSEC commercials, both in print and television media to brain wash us. Apparently more than is spent on recruiting and hiring people with any semblance of intelligence. But does the military have to distrust the soldiers so much they ensure OPSEC by stranding them because of someones stupidity, making a grueling trip even less pleasurable? Seriously folks, the war aint that bad but the trip home.. damn, that's what makes us edgy and missunderstood.
I know I should chill… I am going on leave… It’s not like someone tried to issue us a .50 cal machine gun that did not have all it’s working parts, then question why we would need one anyways… That would never happen.
I love being in the Junior Varsity war.
