When mortars land near your compound and you roll over in bed and think "still way off, I got another 5 minutes"

When you start humming with the Arabic song playing on the radio on the shuttle bus

Every woman that reports to your unit starts looking attractive

Every guy that reports to your unit starts looking attractive

You walk an extra 6 blocks to eat at the KBR (contractor run) dining facility to have the exact same food they are serving in your dining facility because you think it tastes better

You actually volunteer for convoy security duty because you still haven't seen the country yet

You start picturing your wife in traditional Arab dress

The contractors have more fire power than the military combat units. (This is true)

You take the time to add your lines to this list

You've spent $200 dollars at Haji mart on DVDs buying Basic Instinct, 9 and

Lol....I remember watching the superbowl down at the TOC, and then going to bed at 0400.... ;D

- You can spot a FOBBIT are just by looking at them.


A few signs of a FOBBIT are:

Ultra clean uniform and weapon
Lots of unnecessary gear and accessories
Saluting officers
complaining about the chow hall food, heat, 8 hour shift, ect
Freaking out over trivial things


There's more, but I just can't think of anymore at the moment ;D
