Mandatory Fun Day

every so often back at ft. hood, we had mandatory fun days. we'd get friday off to have a company bbq or something like that. a few days ago we had something similar here in iraq. there were various tournaments, such as dominos, halo 3, spades, and poker, the one i played in. there was also boxing and wrestling tournaments and a projector showing movies in one of the buildings. but probably the best part about it was that we could wear whatever we wanted and just relax without worrying that we'd be called away on mission at any moment. i woke up at about 10am and relaxed all day. it was almost like a weekend back in the states. almost.
