Yesterday Afternoon I had a conversation with my friend Travis who is over in Iraq. After we talked it has been something I can't get out of my head. I definitely could tell that Travis is having a hard time over there. I can tell that he has definitely changed, I'm not sure for good or bad. I do know that he's coming home soon, so hopefully I'll be able to go see him and all that jazz. I thought that Trav was over there flying spy planes in some warehouse not worrying about a thing or being in danger. Boy was I wrong. When the planes crash they have to go get them as well as make runs to get parts for their planes. He also is in a place that is heavily occupied with insurgents still.
Studlyskier: i've shot almost 900 rounds here
Studlyskier: like, shot at someone/somethinmg
I asked him if he had killed anyone, he took awhile to answer and said yeah a few. I have so much respect for him it's crazy, I never could be in the position that he is in. I feel for him.
I can tell being over there has taken a toll on him mentally. All I can do is just pray that he'll make it home safe and in one piece.

Wow okay next one isn't going to be depressing I promise....
