Who Gives A Rat’s Ass

How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain’t nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you’d fear is coming true.. it’s coming true

-Matthew Ryan, “Drunk and Disappointed”

Well it had to happen. Our unit is suffering from withdrawal symptoms and we’re gonna meet up tomorrow for an actual situational debriefing.. we all returned from Phuket at different times and different days, so we didn’t really had an opportunity to open up and continue the story-sharing and camaraderie-building after our mission.

Everyone’s missing Phuket, it seems. Everyone’s missing the crazy moments we had, the great friends we made, and the lovely ladies we knew. Some of us still kept in touch with our friends in Phuket, while others didn’t. And of course, everyone missed the one and only KANGAROO BAR.

But most importantly, we’re meeting up tomorrow to keep in touch between ourselves. As Karu put it, we as good friends bonded on a different level while on our mission. It’s probably because we got to see our friends’ hopes and fears, moments of strength and vulnerability, and overall good and bad luck.

Hustler’s under the impression that I had the most fun in Phuket within our unit. I would like to disagree with this statement relative to the rest of our unit because everyone had fantastic fun, but on a personal level I certainly had plenty of fun and plenty of good memories to bring home.

By now I guess our unit’s gonna be a mainstay at each others’ bachelor parties and future trips abroad. We certainly are a bloody fun bunch that’s more than the sum of our parts. I’m looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow, that’s for sure.

Here’s to The Unit!
