21st century...... not so much

Well here in the ARMY we have those soldiers who still cling to the old ways of doing things. Making phone calls home and writing letters. As much as i love letters and the phone i do understand email is taking over and a computer is a must have to help pass the hours of boredom. Well my Platoon Seargent finally came out of the dark ages and got a laptop. Its funny many of our older soldiers have purchased a laptop during our time here at Fort Dix and in the following weeks they keep exclaiming how much they love the new technology.

Yet we havent totally come out of the past just yet. We are out here in the FOB at fort dix and we are in tents. yes they have a wood floor but a tent is a tent. Its hot during the day and cold at night. we make the best of it. We organize things the best we can. I dont mind the close proximity since we acutally have more space in the tent than in the room. i do mind some of the amenities. Port -a - Johns. yeah they suck. Oh well we make the best of it. And it could be worse.
