Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Afghanistan 2010

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot are two of my favorite and often used letters here in the Army. WTF and Army go hand in hand. Much like the word shady and contractor. Anyway it is time for another installment of WTF. Some of it sort of repeats from the last time I am here. I like to call them the Enduring WTF moments.

During morning hygiene a Soldier walks up to the sink next to me with shaving creme in hand. He then pulls our a razor from one pocket and an iPod from another. He puts his headphones in and then starts shaving

While driving along the back 40 at BAF, I observed an individual on what appeared to be Roller Blades using a what looked to be ski poles. I am surprised I did not see him later mangled and tangled in the razor wire along the outer fence.

Hearing a marching band in a combat zone.

Learning today that if you drive to the PX (military speak for store) and park in the parking lot that you will be ticketed by the military police.

Having the laundry guy fold all of my boxers inside out.

Being required to take a smoke detector for my living quarters not having to hang it up.

I am sure as the weather gets warmer over here I will add to this list.
