15k, though I likely won't get it because I'm transferring states and the state has to subsidize NGB bonuses. *shrug*
Yeah, I know that Iraq and the 'ghan are not the same. Being here I don't even pretend to know what the guys go through in Iraq. At the same time, I just don't know what to think about a lot of the shit that goes on now. The shit that we think is hilarious when it happens.... some of this shit you jsut can't tell your buddies back home.
An example... today there was a VBIED incident. One of our Navy Corpsmen took care of some wounded locals. He got back to the FOB and one of the other Navy guys went to give him a "man hug" then backpeddles pointing to his IBA. "Dude, you have some people on you!"... Corpsman looks down and goes, "Oh! That must be part of that guys ear" as he plucks it from his vest and tosses it in the trash. We were ROLLING with laughter. I'm pretty sure most of my buddies back home would think that was a pretty fucked up thing to be amused by.
*sigh*
