Dear Abigail van Buren (I would like to keep this on a formal level),
Has anyone ever written you about this co-worker type?
Overall good guy, but...
Stays late at work because he's too cheap to ge internet service at his house, but then acts like a whiny little bitch and brags about how late he stays everyday?
Tells the same jokes over and over, reads you jokes from the internet that you have either a) already heard, b) already gotten on the same email string or c) all of the above?
Points out how no one else is doing their job?
Complains about other people are goofing off (playing cards) during the last part of their lunch break and then starts surfing FOXnews.com?
Makes statements like "If you two don't have enough to do, I'll find something for you to do." Not subordinaes, mind you, peers.
Gets all huffy when people point out when he is wrong?
Ok, take that guy and multiply him by about 4 times (Iraq conversion factor) and you've got my homeboy over here.
Should I a) ignore his ignorant ass b) cap the motherscratcher c) run his ass into the dirt when I pace him on his last 6 miles of a marathon he's running in the morning or d) all of the above.
Signed,
PTSD Posterboy

Wait a second - you have time to run a marathon during the Iraq War? I thought it was all doom and gloom over there. The media's got it all wrong, I guess.
But anyway, since this is a military thing, I'd put soap in pillow cases and beat the hell out of him in the middle of the night. Maybe he'll just shoot himself.

There are places here that are shitty (pretty much most of the country), but overall, life for soldiers isn't bad. Especially for those of us that don't shoot people on a regular basis for a living.
I am over it now. I know what time it is and have decided to act accordingly. I can't change the fact that he is an anal retentive control freak, but I can ignore his ignorant ass and not go off when he acts like a jackass. I can simply stand and walk out of the room.

Interesting, you must have an endless supply of water on your FOB and aren't limited to 3 showers a week.
Actually I'm on the Camp Victory Base Complex (a conglomerate of several different camps at Baghdad International Airport) and it's pretty nice here, much nicer than where I'm stationed at up north. I was walking around the massive PX on Camp Liberty today and I literally forgot for a few minutes that I was in Iraq. And then I walked back outside and the depression set in again. Sigh. 3 1/2 months to go...

I thought that guy was writing about me. Do you all need me to find something for you to do???

If I have to tell you again that I am on a COB, not some pissant FOB, I am going to strangle your gimlet ass.
I thought you were in Basra. How long will you be in VBC? I should be up there Saturday.

FOB, COB, whatever. Q-West is technically a "COB" as well but we're still on a water restriction. Those of us that have been around since the onslaught affectionately refer to everything as a FOB.
I was supposed to have but plans changed at the last second and I was sent to Cropper instead. I'm technically done tomorrow but I haven't got a flight lined up yet to go back. I'm going to try and delay my departure till Saturday so I miss all the Friday and Saturday meetings/briefings.

Delay it until Sunday and we can watch Auburn beat shit out of Tennessee together.

I'll try but I make no promises. I think my unit is tracking Thursday as my last day of duty here...
