The last week

This weekend i went to hang out with my brother and my mom. Its was a full weekend and since I am not one hundred percent on how next weekend will go it is most likely my last full weekend with family. This week will most likely be somewhat unpleasant, I hate the last week before clearing out because there's always a ridiculous amount of last minute crap.

Ten percent

Back to predeployment classes. Today's class was sexual assault prevention. One in three women will be raped in their lifetime. One in ten men is a rapist. That totals to three hundred million men who should be very brutally removed from this world to protect nearly a billion women. I know some people consider my view on this very violent and disturbing, but this is one topic I will never ever attempt to be more indulgent on. Rapists deserve to die, painfully. The maximum sentence under the UCMJ for rape is death. It is a sign of exactly what is wrong with our army that the maximum sentence has never been sought. This is the society we live in, this is why i have such a short tolerance for it.

Calm Before the Storm

It seems I haven't written in weeks. I went on leave and saw a lot of friends and family. My head is fairly clear and I am feeling pretty good. Things at work are pretty calm right now but I know that won't last much longer. Coming back from seeing all those friends has had one negative effect. I have felt more alone for the last couple days that any other time in my life. Now I'm just going to watch the clock and hope this deployment goes by quickly. I guess if nothing else I will be busy.
