haha AFN sucks a cock

Trust me, I know. Thats why I'm glad i'm a technician and not a freaking broadcaster. At least it gives me something to work with. Noone on the outside wants an Air Force broadcaster.lol But yeah AFN sucks overall. Especially their public service announcement videos, geez.

Re: Greetings from Afghanistan!!

Well Its Sergeant Hambino back with another Afghanistan update. Things are starting to warm up here and i am already sunburnt. Nothing major happening so far but I have seen the true side of certain higher ranking individuals and I feel like i am in the right when I say i wouldn't mind shoving my foot up their arses. It seems that one Chief's office is more important than the sanity of over 10,000 troops. Not going to go into it but you get the gist.
Today was especially weird. I was informed that these guys from Blackwater were stealing cable hardware from existing structures and affecting shitloads of other people. So i sent a nasty gram to the leader of Blackwater, basically threatening to prosecute them over the whole ordeal. When I finally made it down there it seems as though i was given bad info. so i spent the day chillin with these peeps and I got a free t-shirt and i was offerd a flight anytime I needed. funny how that works out.
Other than that it has been business as usual. I am finally on the downward slope to my way out of here. It looks like It might be until I get back to civilazation before i can upload any pics. But till next time Tschuss and thanks again for the support peeps.

Later
