J.C.

It started when we received a handful of bumper stickers. Soon, Kandahar Air Field (KAF) was dotted with oval decals reading “Montana Is For Badasses.” Whether it’s the living quarters, on the way to the Boardwalk, or just dropping off laundry, my unit sees little reminders of our badass home state.

As some may know, I’m a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and I try to catch as many games as I can. Now that I am in Afghanistan, the games I get to see are few and far between.

No, I did not freak and pull it out but I figured that chopping off the mane would make it alot easier to deal with for the year that I will be gone. Guys in the Army, much less guys in general, don't get how much work it is to comb out and care for long locks, and if you plan on styling it...

If I decide crowd surfing is going to be involved, Ill try not to lose my ticket stub this time!
