AAFES: Army & Air Force Exchange Service. The civilians who ran our PX/BX shopping centers.
I swear this could have been a thing. Sometimes it seemed that the armor status would change every 30 minutes; you’d no sooner go back to retrieve or drop off armor for the last alert when the status changed yet again. Maybe they just wanted us to hide in our trailers or something.
But the AAFES Acme Armor Caddy..? Someone could have raked up some serious cash.

BOHICA Blues

What's it like to be in the Army for real, and get deployed to a place like the Iraq War? In BOHICA Blues, I turn my actual experiences into a slice of absurdist humor and walk you through this period of history from one person's perspective.
Using the classic TV show "M*A*S*H" as a guide, I created BOHICA Blues in 2013 to tell the story of what a deployment was like, with the absurdities of military life and war for all to see. It starts with the initial mobilization news, and goes on from there. BOHICA Blues isn't as "salty" as a lot of veteran humor; it doesn't have F-bombs, gore, or nudity: it could hypothetically appear on regular broadcast television.
Hopefully you can enjoy this and invite others to see what the Iraq War was like from someone who went there and is willing to share the experience with a laugh.
