Spending 3 years in 29 as a mech fucking blows, but you make the best of it. It's a POG job sure, but it ain't low-tier MOS like being a Waterdog, 01xx, or butterbar. On your off time making 16ft lift kits, ENG boot showing a lesbian (that he loves) how to drive shit, blowing up jeeps, th e list goes on! The good thing about methtown capital ((29 Palms) is there's some good off-roading hick shit. I mean, hell, plenty of stories come from 29 as is.

I feel home watching this shit, keep i t up.

Yep, deployments are interesting and I remember the popular sports of surfing on collapsed HESO barriers, "sledding" down bunkers on creepers, throwing down and practicing combatives on each other to solve any dispute, with your NCOs cheering you on.

And yea, the meltdowns were legion, tired soldiers getting into fights over stupid shit, after constant shifts as the pool was running 24hrs a day, then becoming detail btiches on any down time. We had one detail where we spent 12 hours at a time raising an lowering 5000 commemorative 9/11 flags for 9 mins 11 secs each, (even all night long...) and not to mention all the constant side jobs like installing armor, etc while civ contracters who were supposed to be helping with that sort of thing just sat around and watched. And there was all the normal barracks drama, such as peopel getting busted because they used porno mags as wallpaper. A soldier getting his stuff tossed out into the mud because he didn't sweep his floor, etc.
