Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: That Last Day
Well, Here we are....1 year, 3 months and 30 Days later. I am finished on this project. Tonight I will be handing my laptop, cell phone, tools and comms gear into property for re-issue to some other poor bastard that is embarking on his journey. Is this the end however of my spree in Iraq? Who knows....I could find my self back out here again trompin through the sand in the near future. However for now....I am going home and I am not coming back to this project for sure. I was asking my self the other day....Was it worth it? My answer is Yes... The things I have learned and experianced are invaluable. I have gone from 1 extreme to the other. Great times on vacations all over the world to being shot at while driving through downtown Baghdad to being knocked unconcious and almost killed by a rocket in Falluja. My personal life has suffered most of all I think through it all. I lost someone I love very much. Friends have drifted away. So after all this why you ask I say it was worth it. Because all of these experiances ultimately help enrich my life. I have gained a greater appreciation for many BIG things and little things.
In closing...I look forward to the time with my friends and family when I get home. Kern and Gerry we have been through ALOT of shit out here. Most of it by our selves and some of it together. We have alot to talk about when we get to Mexico.
Signing Off from Baghdad Iraq...........
