Army Strong

Just some more from what I wrote below this, the tour extension thing. I wasn't to worried about this cause Rich mentioned it prob was just a rumor. Well, not a rumor after all apparently... not set in stone but the people above him are not saying "no" now.. so looks like he will be gone until Feb. now. That is just fabulous. There is another shitty part though which is fucked up and gay and of course typical. When he left he was told that if he had to stay over 12 months, he would get an extra 1000 a month. Now, they are changing that to 15 months, of course! I mean wow if you knew you had to keep troops there for extra time what better way to not have to pay them extra then to extend the tours instead. They changed the rules and took that money away.. he may get 200 extra a month but fuck what bastards. Of course this is not confirmed at the moment, but come on now of course it will happen. We should all write letters to congressmen.
