I brought my guitar to Iraq, it wasn't easy, but I managed to convince my commander to let me take it. I will never forget those days when we played our favorite country songs with my buddies.

How cool! At least a distraction for those moments. I'm envious that I wasn't in your platoon.

The days with the troops are unforgettable, it is by far like a second family to us.

My buddy brought his harmonica. We had a running joke that we were going to hide it from him. It made things a little more bearable just having something to joke about honestly

I sure hope you were better at playing than this one guy I served with, LOL, he was really awful at music but it was hilarious. I think he was probably doing part of it for laughs. I'm kind of hoping at least, or I'd feel like a real jerk for seeing the humor in it

Anyone else remember that episode of M*A*S*H where Radar had a trumpet, until it was destroyed in a most unfortunate incident... ha, thanks for reminding me!

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.
