So My Head Isn’t Dented?
God bless me but sometimes I am just not bright. Self-incriminating evidence below.
Since Monday early evening the top of my head was hurting. I dismissed it figuring it was either caused by wearing my helmet so much or denting my head of the inside wall of the MRAP due to the bad roads causing us to bounce around so much.
It took idiot me until Tuesday afternoon to figure out it was because my head got sunburned while at Nukhayb. I was only in the direct sun for 5-6 hours but that was enough.
To enhance my whining I paid a guy $3 to punch me on the top of my head. I knew a haircut was not going to feel good but I felt like a hippy as it was probably grown out to an eighth of an inch or so. Once my head goes from feeling like sandpaper to velvet it’s either put dreadlocks in or cut shave it.
What do you get for a $3 haircut? Just what you expect and don’t expect.
Don’t worry about looking in the mirror as it’s already too late to fix it.
Don’t worry about the guy massaging (really its punching) the top of your head for 20 seconds or so after the barber butchers your head.
Do worry about bald barbers.
Do worry about the goofs who wish to then massage your back (freaks).
Do worry about the barber with the ‘I ♥ Ba’thist t-shirt)

GySgt Jenkins,
I’d like to pass on a word of thanks to you and all Marines for your service to our country from everyone at Force Protection - makers of the Buffalo and Cougar MRAP vehicles you are using.
We appreciate everything you do and we’re glad to provide vehicles that are hopefully saving the lives of the Marines that are using them.

So you know, knucklehead, it only takes about 20-30 minutes for a scalp to be sunburned…yes, even for a marine.
Do you get the massage before or after they shave your back??
ONLY 5-6 hours…goofball, have you seen the color of your skin??? Even I burn in 5 -6 hours!
If your sunburn peals man is that going to itch and you will look like some reptile. I would recoment lots of Aloe.
