Its been one long continuous patrol this week.  Its all blended into one never ending day.  Out all day, up all night.  Patrol this, secure that, drive way the hell out to this place.  Its gets tiresome.  We got back around noon today after spending the night at that peculiar remote outpost in my dream.  I got a few hours sleep between patrols in a non air conditioned connex box of an aid station on a stretcher.  They have built it up pretty well though, so no deja vu episodes. When we returned to the FOB, there were no showers of course.  They don’t turn them on till late because of the water shortage.  So no nap for me as I can’t sleep in my bed while stewing in my own filth.  Cleaned up a best I could, but I had to wait till the showers were opened.
