Inside Daryl's Mind

So yea, I know I havent posted anything in a long while.  I got moved off camp bullis into the hotel for about a month which was awesome.  Then it came down that we had to move into the NCO dorms which is allright, I just miss the Per Diem. Those who dont know, Per Diem is money the air force gives you while you are TDY to compensate for the cost of living and sustaining yourself.  Off Camp Bullis you make 47 dollars a day.  On Camp Bullis you make 11.  Big Difference.  But Anyways.

We have been doing field operations for the last two weeks and will be for the next two as well.  We get a mission briefing.  A Squad Leader is designated and we spend our time normally up to 10 to midnight writing and finishing an Operations Order.  The next day we carry out the Op Order, then get a new mission briefing when we come in.  Its crazy hard on you.  Getting no sleep, running our ass off in the field, and not knowing who is in charge next.  I was squad leader today, and it sucked.  We had a reconnaisance mission that turned into a hasty ambush, then we got ambushed, and then we got attacked by some guys in a Humvee.  It was a lot of yelling, maneuvering, shooting, thinking, running.  It was crazy.  Tommorrow we have a slight break, but not really.  Its so tiring.  And because of the hours I dont really get a chance to talk to Kristen.  But she will be here in 2 weeks (hopefully).  But anyways.. i need to get some sleep i figured id let yall (anyone who cares) know that i didnt forget about you.  just been busy.  Later :-)
