Everywhere

I should be the official tour guide to FOB Diamondback and FOB Marez. The colonel's visit gave me yet another opportunity to give a tour of the post.

Tour highlights:
- airport mosque
- monastery
- both chow halls
- Marez DFAC Monument
- highest point on Marez
- picture point of mountains
- 7-11 Shop
- Haji Shops
- The Batcave

I think I have this tour guide thing down pat. Can I go home yet?

By the way, today marks my 179th day in the AOR (area of responsibility). I would have started my trip back to the states today, if I weren't extended.

Maybe you're still screwing up the tour. Do you allow a restroom break in there somewhere? If you get it right I'm sure they'll send you home.

Two more weeks, two more weeks, two more weeks. Say it and click your heels together each time like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. If she can get out of Oz you can get out of Iraq.

Well, I think first Ben would need the ruby slippers. And I'm pretty sure the Air Force would frown on that. He can't go around in heals, it's not MASH, afterall. ;)

Yeah, I'd say go for it on the heals and try to get yourself sent home early, but it never worked for Klinger on MASH and what's another 10ish days? Keep your dignity Ben.
