I don't lol. Sure it's decent weather and lots of restaurants/clubs/good roads that aren't full of dips and holes like NJ is, but I still prefer home. Can't do more than my 4 years of service, I'd kick myself in the ass if I reenlist...

SA is garbage. I was in Panama, Peru, Colombia, some other shithole towns...actually Panama wasn't so bad but it was pretty Americanized anyway, it's Central America lol. Screw Iraq I'm so glad/lucky I haven't done a Gulf tour...
