I spent my whole tour over seas in Germany, got out back in 90. Day before I left Germany to fly back here a bunch of us got plastered, nothing like a long plane ride, no sleep and hung over. LOL

Now.....MOST of us were moved forward via bus to Ft. Jackson.......but not ME!! Oh No No No.... Me? I'm going to Ft. Polk, LA. (apparently my mission is different) So they gave me a flight set to depart tomorrow.

THREE HOURS LATER......they pull back my travel orders.....and tell me I'll be here at least till TUESDAY. That means sitting in a hotel room.....with no rental car.....and nothing but a mini-mart and food court to sustain me for the next 4 days.

It's a damn good thing there's beer.....
 
Well, at least you have corn dogs. Way to overcome and improvise! I like the ratio of beer to water. :lol:
 
One thing a for sure - his TD entries are gonna SUCK!

:rofl:


(Actually I'm hoping Paulky will enter one while he's deployed using only standard issue foods. Will be hilarious to see him try to match the theme)
