Who's that guy?

I got a text message today by complete surprise. It was from Billy. He sent me a picture he took of himself in his new get-up. Then he called right after. He said he had to use a mirror to take the picture with his phone? I don't know. But it's funny! He also said that he was going "downrange" tomorrow (Friday) and that we may not hear from him for a while. He said that he got all his gear in a duffel bag. (apparently today they got uniforms and shots) It took him and another guy just to pack it (One holding it open while the other shoves stuff in) and then it weighs a hundred pounds. He also said that he had to buy some stuff at the store and one of the required things was a strap to hold his glasses on. He and another guy decided to get two packs of them. He gets back and realized he had DogTag straps. POOP! So, he was going to try and ask the other guy he knew bought two if he could buy the guys extra one. He said he expected things to start getting a little crappy from this point on. And I just told him he knew it would and at least he knows it. I just wonder if he knows just how 'crappy' crappy really is.

He already looks like he's lost some weight

Oh... maybe that's just the lack of hair. He really is BALD!!
