I apologize for not being able to tell more about what we were doing until now... Because of the tensions in the region along with some vague and some less-than-vague threats, I didn't want to advertise what we were doing or timelines of what we were doing. OPSEC and all that. However, we're all back home and safe so I can post some more fun pictures and whatnot.
---MASSIVE PICTURE ATTACK WARNING---
I was participating in a bilateral training exercise between the US Army and the Malaysian Army. It was approximately two and a half weeks, and we stayed on a camp in southern Malaysia.
(lol, as I'm writing this, my emails are loading and I'm already up to over 500)
We flew into Singpore and crossed over the border into Johor Bahru, where we spent two days before heading into Ulu Tiram for the exercise.
This is Johor Bahru from my hotel room:
A dish served at the hotel restaurant:
This was a normal breakfast:
We usually had some form of rice, chicken, and a vegetable dish. By the end of the exercise I had mostly gone vegetarian because of the quality of the meat and I ate something that didn't work well with me for a few days.
I was awarded/given this for the work I did organizing and preparing the unit for the exercise:
We had a "cultural day" one day, where we went out into Johor and saw some various aspects of the different cultures that lived there. The first place we stopped was a crocodile farm:
and then we went to a couple of malls, a clocktower, and a Hindu glass temple.
There were pretty stark contrasts in some places:
This is where I lived:
and we had our choice of toilet amenities - "traditional":
or squatting:
Overall, we had a great time and met some of the best people I've had the pleasure of working with.
Did you eat the fish head soup?
Which toilet amenity did you select?

Being vegetarian is cool, isn't it?

It is humid as shit there, especially in the jungle areas. It's generally around 90% humidity, and the temp stays in the 90s. We didn't have A/C or anything like that in our rooms, but we got acclimated to it pretty quickly. One morning, it had dropped down to around 79 degrees with little humidity and I was literally shivering in my tent because it was such a vast difference from what the weather had been like up to that point. I'm wearing a jacket around right now (actually, we all were), and people are acting like I'm crazy because it's definitely not jacket weather in Georgia.
I also get to finish up my Malaria pills over the next two weeks, and adjust my digestive system back to American food. I lost about six pounds while I was over there... Probably another pound or two will come off in the next day or so as my body adjusts to being back home.
What's younkers?
Tomorrow your assignment is to call a girl.

Were you in that pic?
Malaria comes from Malaysia?
Welcome back! DW and I were just talking about you last night wondering what was going on. So were you just on drills?
Edit: just saw the joint ops/training comment.
It actually is! I did have a little meat here or there (in the form of a sauce or gravy or something), but it was pretty bearable. Then again, it's really easy when there are no appetizing meats to eat.
Were you sad to eat the monkey? They are so cute.

The more I look at that picture, the more I want to get some for DW just because of the convenient sex.
The nice thing is, she's in the perfect position and she can't run away wearing those
