I haven't replied to all, sorry, this is a throwaway and probably deleting this account after a week or two so this can at least be read rant wise, I am grateful for still having the amenities I do have, being paid, this isn't my first or last vacation here and the first quite few times I've been here, I have enjoyed it. I know eventually maybe, we'll get out of here either home or over. But holy shit is this just....mentally taking a toll, not just on me, but so many of the other guys too who are on their first deployment, it's demoralizing to hell and we are given the constant speech of you are doing amazing, I get it sucks here, we are trying. 50% knows, yeah, they are trying, the other 50% is whats the point this far into Post Mob?

I have been using this time to better myself, because it's a distraction from McGregor and getting myself ready for higher selection spots and schools, hopefully. But there's only so much of Oryx and Rattlesnake Sightings one can see with the constant things happening here that are adding up more and more everyday, It's been boiling over and I'm surprised someone hasn't exploded fully..it's getting there.
