INSPECTIONS...

Over the last few days we have had many many inspections of our barracks. Not only when we sign up to be a soldier of defending freedom do we lose our very own freedom but we are not allowed to display an American flag from our wall lockers. What is the deal??? These people have seriously gone nuts over here!! They say that hanging one from the wall locker is an unacceptable way of displaying it. Well we can't hang it from the wall nor from our bunks so where else is there?? We also had to wake-up at 0430 this morning to put all our duffel bags and "extra" stuff into a conex. Now that most of my battle gear is gone are they still going to tell us we are in a combat zone? Of course because it's always fun to "beat the dead horse."
