Default Checking in on FightForum

Hey everyone. Im still alive and havent been shot...yet. Its f'ing freezing here. Im currently living in an 8 x 20 foot conex trailer with three other guys and its blows. Im supposed to get my own 8 x 10 foot room here any day now. Talk about spacious accomidations.... .

One thing about the military that I dont miss at all is the moronic beauracricy (spelling) and infighting. The concept of higher rank being in direct relation with higher intelligence is just retarded but it seems to be accepted as fact.

Not much going on here other than that. Oh, well...my rooms generator get turned off at night between 10 pm and 5 am. Something to do with fire hazards. Also, the temperature in my room between the hours of 10:05 pm and 4:55 am is about 33 degrees.

Anyway, just checking in with everyone. Ill get some pics up in this thread soon. Ive seen some crazy stuff already.

Everyone take care.

Glad to hear your boxcar living is going well. If things in the states don't improve economically, you will be well equipped for your return!!

Just kidding man, but glad you are doing well.

The weather here sucks. It's below freezing in the morning, then in the 50 degrees at noon, then freezing again after dinner. The dust is so fine its like powder and gets everywhere. I got moved into my private room a few das ago but the paint fumes are so noxious, im sleeping out on the ground in front of my room until the fumes wear off. I think they cornered the market on chinese paint with extra lead in it.

Still no pictures but soon...

hope everyone is doing well and Ill check back in later.

Hello everyone, hows fightforum hanging? Doing ok with me not being around as much? I miss being able to drop in every day like I used to.

The weather here is getting hotter and that means more bad guy activity and that means Ill be even busier. It seems these guys over here dont like to fight in the winter or in bad weather, go figure.

I made a grown man cry the other day, that was interesting but he had it coming so oh well.

Ive almost paid off my debt since Ive been here so thats good.

Not a lot of interesting stuff actually, or anything I can really put on the internet and all. I took some photos of my jail cell sized room and Ill put those up in the next day or so. I took some pics yesterday outside but the sandstorm was so bad nothing was visible in the pictures.

Will update again when I get the chance...my internet keeps going in and out so its very iffy when I can get on. Later everyone!

Glad to see you are doing well. Its always good to get rid of debt. Be careful around there and remember fight forum will always be here.

Nice to hear from you Jras and that you're staying safe despite the plush accomodations. I have a few marine buddies of mine there so if you run into a knucklehead big Chieck Kongo lookin mother ****er named Lavelle Brown tell him Mr. Mike UFO from No Cal says what's up!

And making a grown man cry is always good times esp when he has it coming.

So stay safe, be smart and get your ass back stateside and we'll down a few .40's together and chat about how my NY Football Giants are the best team in NFL history!



Take care Jras! Great hearing from you bro.

Here's a video for ya. Helped my uncle in 91 the first time out there.

Hey everyone, just checking in again. Ive stopped by and used the chat room a couple of times when I see people on. I wish I had more time to spend on here and respond to more threads but my time is all taken up still.

Its getting hotter and hotter here every day. Its only the first of May and it was 42 degrees (C) yesterday. Not sure what that converts to in F but it was freaking hot. The heat isnt whats so bad but the smell from the locals.....holy &$&*# do they stink. By 9:30 a.m. the hallway to our office smells like an open septic tank. My eyes start to water when I walk through and it feels like I got hit with CS gas again.

Ive been taking pictures but it takes forever for me to upload them to photobucket then attach them here. Promise to get some up as soon as i can.

Ive pretty much went into MMA withdrawls and it blows big time. Im used to getting all the PPV's and chatting in the chat room when they are on and now I cant even see the fights. I guess it gives me something to do when I get home.

How is everything going with the gang here? Let me know how you guys are and Ill start posting more soon.

Hey Jras...we're chugging along here. That sucks about the stench. Any chance of a mandatory fumigation and shower period for the locals?

Stay cool man and I look forward to seeing some pics. Keep on fightin'
