YOU KNOW you've been deployed to Iraq to long if...
- you consider a twenty-one inch T.V. a BIG screen
- happy hour consists of Diet Coke, Doritos, and a movie you've already seen ten times
- you have ever wished for a port-a-potty
- you get hungry when you think of DFAC food
- you know the dialogue of all your movies...and your friends' movies
- you can't wait to get back to your shack after work
- you've seen the first season of every show
- you have ever waited in line four hours just to buy one case of sodas and four Cups of Noodles
- you get excited at the sight and sound of a toilet that flushes
- a trip to the PX is the best part of your day
- the sound of a C-5, black hawk, and chinook taking off doesn't wake you
- you can recognize the smell of burning feces
- you can walk in-between the tents in your area at night without tripping on the ropes
- you have ever considered Cup Noodles a gourmet food
- you don't complain about the showers, PX, or the phones
- you start to like it here
