Slogging my way to Iraq

Training for the desert in Korea during the monsoon season has not been one of the most pleasant things I have ever done in life. Constant wear of my body armor has introduced me to an ailment known as "prickly heat". Salt, dirt, and assorted other things become lodged in the patient's pores and subject him to a maddening, burning, prickling sensation in the affected area. It sucks. You should see me do the "oh-my-God-what-is-that-itching-burning-sensation-all-over-my-back" dance.
I return to the field tomorrow morning with my line company to continue training in God knows where on the Korean peninsula. A nearly continuous month of training, spiced with unsubstantiated rumors of extra time in Iraq make Jack a very dull boy indeed.
I am out.
