ahhh its almost here . civilian life.

I am almost free. free to be a civilian. free to let others serve for awhile. free to find myself not in boots and not in the shooting range. and not with ear plugs in my ears while I shout orders of 7.4.2 fire!. I am almost free from having to make the bus/train every sunday before 6 am.  I am almost free from a terrible feeling of being shavuz saturday night and smelling like lead . I am almost free from having to eat bad food covered in oil and not having plates or utensils. free from having to make a plate out of a piece of bread and balance it on your boot filled with sand. I am almost free from having commanders yelling at me. I am almost free of people asking me why I came here . I am almost free from two of the hardest. most amazing. most fulfilling years of my life.


I can't believe it's almost here.
