Anyone been over here for over a year yet?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anyone been over here for over a year yet?

Tomorrow marks the end of month 11 of my 2nd deployment. These next 3-4 months are going to drive me nuts. If I wasn't married it'd probably be easy, but I'm starting to lose touch with reality.

Btw, it has nothing to do with "combat". In April I became a fobbit dealing with detainee movements.

Just seeing if anyone is over the 12 month hump yet.

Getting close, but I won't be here that long after my 365.

Starting my 5th as a contractor. The money's outstanding, but this incoming has gotta stop. Did 3 years at Balad and the IZ is getting worse then that.

detainee movements.

Is that what the lump in the corner,with the water bottle beside it, is?
