Mailin' Stuff
Ah, life in the army.

To ship anything overnight you have to wait outside the gate. They give you a time frame, give or take a few minutes on how accurate they are in getting there at that time.

So I take a HMMW-V, grab lunch, drive outside the gate and park, and eat while I listen to MP3s on my computer with my rifle at my side, just chillin' and waiting for the mail man.

Days are tough. But only when they don't let you back inside the gate (I had to drive around today)
