Awards yaaay we got Awards yaaay!

Dude I swear this computer tends to run like shit sometimes and I want to tap dance on the damn thing. Well awards day was on Sunday boy it was neeto fun. We got ARCOM's (basical attaboy you did your jobs) and the new Combat Action Badge. The Combat Action Badge was made for non-Infantry types so that they had somthing to show on there chest that says "Hey look at me I've been in the shit!" What it has become is a perverse attempt for POG'S to get a cool badge and promotion points. You got people trying to get this badge by saying hey I was (this is no joke either its true) "I was taking a shit and a Rocket hit the building next to me and landed 20ft from the porta john I was in and didn't explode. I deserve a CAB." or "Oh boy I was at the chow hall and a mortar landed 15 meters from me. Though it was only a 60mm and its kill radius is about 5m I need a CAB." Well shit if thats the case before you come to Iraq you should get one. Our COS (Chief of Staff) has been could about turning down the posers for their CAB's. Why in our very own office we have a guy so hard up for one he wants to go to Samarra after never having been there before 10 days before we are supposed to go home. Wow. The shitty thing about people getting the CAB for a mortar landing in the vicinity of where they were peeing, pooping, or working is, is that shit happens man this is war. If you don't ever leave the FOB and all the action you get is a mortar round or two that is what I like to call Combat Accident. Its some hajji droppin a morter a couple of clicks out off the FOB. He doesn't have you directly in his sights. There are some guys out there that rate this badge because they close with and kill the enemy. In our case we had 5 IED's detted on us in a matter of 10 fucking minutes. Then we got back to the PB Uvanni and rounds started flying past our heads and kicking up the dirt around our feet to where I was like fuck man how did we not just get murked (slang for killed) And before that Leto, Gotti, Drake, Eggs, and Spantonio were in the shit in Samarra on the last election day where it was small arms, mines, and IED's. So these Soldiers earned there shit. Risking thier lives everytime they go out on the road. But since the criteria for it is so loose we have to sit down next to some POG doosh that had a fucking mortar round land nearby. Give me a break. O.k. so with out any further ado. The picture of Spantonio and his shit eatin grin he is getting a Bronze Star and a CAB. It took the "Man" 2x to pin it right but its all good. Out of all the officers and other NCO's that got Bronzy's that day Spantonio is the only one really who deserves it. Try working in an HHC where your basically a fucking casaway. You rock Spantonio and from the Me and the Boyz we say congrats.
