Well, it didn't take as long as I thought it would for the "Good Idea Fairy" to show up. For those of you not familiar with the Military, and the Army in general, the Good Idea Fairy (GIF) inevitably arrives whenever morale is high. She (gender neutral) sprinkles the magic dust and someone says "Hey, I have an idea, why don't we......followed by something really stupid.
Today, it was uniforms, specifically the Army Physical Fitness Uniform (APFU or just plain PT's)
You see, we are living in tents. NIce tents mind you (Thanks Kellog Brown & Root) with the bathroom and showers at the end of the camp. Maybe 100 yards away. Every morning, the collective masses rise and shine, and make their way to the facilities. Most of the time we are wearing our PT shorts, and whatever T-shirt was available at the moment. Shower shoes and shaving kit accessorise the outfit, topped off with the towel over the shoulder to complete the ensemble.
Well, in step the good idea fairy........
Hey I have an idea (read above) why dont we make everyone dress the same in the offical PT uniform.... That way we all look good on our way to the shower.... (someone really needs to get outside of the wire on occasion)
As I said, we all live in tents. There are wooden doors on the ends with locks which aid in the security of the few items we have inside. There are approximately 20 men (again gender neutral) living in one tent. Somehow, it was decided that it would be a good idea (is that dust in the air) to put the names and rank of individuals living in said tents on the door. Not a BAD idea, if there were no local nationals walking around. But that isnt the case. There is a really nice Afghan named Mohamed who everyday collects the trash from the cans outside of the tents. I like him a lot and he seems like a great guy... but I am not too crazy about him knowing that John Smith CW3 is living in the back right hand corner of the tent... Just as I would want him having his finger on the button.
There are a lot of other really Good Ideas running around here.... Too many in fact. But, such is life here...
The weather is warming up. Someone decided that turning up the Army issued heater would be a "Good Idea" I woke up and the digital thermometer read 84.1 degrees....
Love her or hate her the Good Idea Fairy has been with us since at least the Civil War. Or so Moke says. (thanks for the letters Mom.) As for me... I am on the fence.

Hey! YOU got the Moke letters???? Best not let that little factoid get around..... I know of a Historian who is just DYING to get hands on the above-mentioned info about our Civil War ancestor!
About the "Fairy...." everybody in the world knows all about FUBARS, right? This is just one more for the tabloids. It's as if nobody THINKS, sometimes, huh? I'm a civilian, so I can say this..... I'm also Tia, so it must be true, too!
Sending you a huge Valentine Day "smooch!"
Te amo, Sobrino!

Sounds like the "good idea fairy" needs to have a talk with the "you can imagine what I'm thinking fairy" regarding your post about not posting again. Names and ranks on tents but putting the hammer down on blogging? Whatever!!!!
