A Different World
Posted on May 18th, 2006 by uruloki
It’s odd. The transition from there to here was almost so bad, it makes here seem normal. It is all the people on the other side of the world who are keeping odd hours. In much the same way, I read Drudge and it is like the news is happening to someone else. The only news I worry about is what IEDs went off and how many of my folks are waiting to go home.
I think I like it.
Glad you like it, but what are IEDs?
Improvised Explosive Devices.
Some of the guys from EOD would say that “Life is like a box of IED’s… You never know what you’re gonna get.” They called them “little bundles of excitement.” I thought that was funny b/c some of them are rather large, like a car. Ha, EOD, those guys are nuts… Love ‘em though, just not a job I would like to do. I guess you gotta have a certain mentality… A box of IED’s? Crazy Bastards. That kinda says something about that mentalitiy thing.
