Kudos for making it home brother.
While I am admitedly a pogue due to the fact that I am a 42A; I will say my tiny taste of convoy time was shit I will never forget.
I miss the middle east myself. Its more simplistic there as long as you can get over the mind fuck of wondering if 'uncle' jack is over with your wife, or if someone else got to hear ur kid say 'daddy' first. I know it sucks and tour number 2 for me is coming up soon more than likely.
Currently my ass is stuck from going WIAS to a few places beacuse i cannot run. I fucked up the muscles and tendons in my right knee (which as been bad for 2 years) and cannot run. I can ruck my ass off, go anywhere, climb anything, but run and jump ain't happening. Hopefully i can re-hab and get back to being a REAL soldier again.
anyways once again kudos for coming back and if u need a pogue to lean on PM me brother. While I may not know all of what you have seen and been through, I certainly have been there for other brothers and sisters in arms who have been where you are.
