Our MidEast Training Site
Oct 06, 2022
Based on actual absurdity. This is exactly what happened: when our Battalion was sent to our training site to "get ready for the Middle East", they sent us to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin... in December. The snow was (on the average) knee deep, at some places much deeper, and the temperature was below freezing for most of the time we were there.
This was one of the many moments of disconnect we were about to experience in the year-and-a-half to face us.

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.
