Rally Toenails
|
Ok so I know its been awhile since I have blogged (sorry Mrs. Hackett) there just hasn’t been a whole lot going on here that I would call newsworthy since my break. We have heard rumors of who will be replacing us, and there are some tentative dates being whispered around as to when we will be coming home but nothing solid has been put out yet, and even if there was a date I couldn’t say because Goober would crap his pants that I told the Insurgency when I’m am leaving, I guess its important that the insurgents think I’m here to stay, it will demoralize them.
About 3 months before I originally thought I was coming home I started growing a moustache, better known as the Rally ‘stache. I’m not going to jinx my leaving this country with another moustache, but I thought of something more original that everybody could do to be part of the excitement….. Rally Toenails. Yep, show your excitement as we rally to the finish line by letting the toenails grow, now the women can get caught up in the fever since growing a moustache was out of the question, I’ve actually got about a 3 month head start but to be honest there aren’t any winners or losers, its about doing something together as we go through these final months of anticipation. I’ll keep you updated on my progress as we get closer hopefully inspiring more people to hop on the bandwagon.
We had an awards ceremony not to long ago and I’m proud to say I was not forgotten. I have earned the coveted Drivers badge, You earn this badge if you have driven 10,000 miles in a military vehicle without an accident. It is a medal in the shape of a Goodyear tire and is worth 10 promotion points. To be honest I don’t remember ever seeing anyone wear this badge on their uniform, but I’m going to wear it, In fact I think I’ll wear it when I get back and apply for drivers Insurance, maybe get a discount at Geiko. Earning a drivers badge in a country where the road is littered with bombs should get me some sort of discount I’d think. I won’t show them a picture of Defiance (my ambulance) she was like that before I got my hands on her.
Guess thats all for now, sorry it took so long to write, I know that sometimes its just a matter of you people wanting to know that we are still smilin’ and still moving forward. I appreciate everyone who checks this site makin’ sure we are ok and I’ll try to be better about updating you all. Take Care Friends, Troy
P.S. those are not the feet of Bilbo Baggins, I got some hairy toes and I don't care. I'm going more bald every day so if my toes wanna pick up the slack I say good for you toes, besides, shaving toes is very un-bad-ass. the other picture I like because our boys are representin, out on the road.

| any toenails that become insubordnant, and start heading back towards the toe will be disqualified and cut, only the really motivated ones will stay. this may result in uneven ranks but I cant let the motivated toes be influenced by the quitters, as far as nose hairs, i have found that just leaving them to grow, they just fall out eventually, and to think I have been putting myself through the pain of plucking them, just leave 'em, they take care of themselves. |

Oh Troy you funny boy. I am a toenail grower myself. Just ask Sarah. When you arrive back in Minnesota, let's compare nails. I'll buy ya a beer and we can compare Rally Toenail. If yours are longer than mine, I'll buy you a second beer. mmmmmmm beer. Take care of yourself Troy.You are almost done. Be safe. If you see Sarah, please squeeze her for me. Cheers.
Peace,
Mom Mongin |

Yahoo!! Yippee!! Hooray!! I was getting so tired of seeing Qatar in a nutshell that I was about to give up!! With all the continuing snow here it probably would not be a bad thing to have hairy feet (I'll never admit it!) Matt's dad and I did get out on the motorcycle yesterday. I am learning on my 650 but was too intimidated by all the bicyclists and joggers to go it alone. When I want a new hood ornament I will try for a cat or something - not some skinny guy in spandex!!
Thanks again for the update and we are still thinking of you guys and praying every day that you will come home safely. Hugs, Momma Hackett |

| Troy I only have one concern about the rally toenails, might this project turn into rally ingrown toenails? Its odd how your tour will come to an end, just as soon as I start mob'ing again. But then again such is life. Oh well I once again applaud your powers of observation and description. |

| I love those toes (hair and all) and everything they are attached to! |

Keep it up, Troy!
I hope the Geico people listen to your request.
I'm with ya on the toenails, dude! |
