What I found most striking about it was that fact that it was a post about how they spend their free time. Based on the post I had read so far I honestly thought that there was never really any down time. I mean I knew there was time in between missions and such but the idea that there is actually free time on the bases in Iraq really rocked my naivety. If I were to ever go to Iraq I think I would fit right into the nerdy/warrior avatar cliques only because that is pretty much what I already do, minus all the soldering in between. I thought it was interesting that Dox in the Box mentioned that it was the people who do not conform to some sort of coping cliques are the ones who typically have trouble with the distance between them and their families. It brings to mind an old adage: idle hands are the devils playground.
