I have been strangely fascinated by the rest of the world since a very early age. Nearly visiting every US state before graduating from high school, it wasn’t until joining the Army that I really ventured off of the North American continent for the first time. That was all it took to inspire the insatiable wanderlust that now drives me to new destinations across the globe.

Iraq tour 4

So I am off for another tour in . This is my 4th tour now. I have a couple friends that have stayed over there since 2004/2005 timeframes. That’s insane! Those guys are pretty dedicated to stay over there and sacrifice alot of their personal lives to be there that long. I guess I would rather be in than Afghanistan. Afghanistan is pretty sketchy now. Maybe in a year or so I can hit Afghan back up.

So the goal now is to go for a year and then check and see what I want to do. No more yearly+ planning when it comes to contracting. I’m getting burned out. Too many assholes to deal with on the leadership and work level. I guess that’s everywhere you go though.

Dude, I just signed with Fluor after three years in Iraq. I demoab and Ship for SC on the first. What’s sketchy about Afghanistan? They are winding Speicher down in Sept/Oct, so I was trying to prolong my contracting. Did i make a bad move? Thanks man,
