Deployment activities

[morrishock]

Hey guys, havnt posted in forever so i figured i'd drop a line.

Was just wondering what you guys do for fun while deployed. I didnt bring much besides my laptop but I finnally broke down and bought Maya (computer animation software) that i have been watching since i guess mid 2002. Im in afghanistan, though i wont say more on unsecure interweb, and it should be here in about 10-16 days. I cant wait to start learning it as thats what i plan on doing when i get out after this deployment.

But feel free to share what you do for fun in the sand box. Might give me some ideas to mix it up a bit and keep me from going stir crazy

thanks

I brought a PS2 which I played with a fair bit. Disgaea is a good time-waster, and if you can can manage it DDR is fun too. There was a gym on post so it was convenient to just go and work out for a few hours if you got too bored. Bring or buy an mp3 player. I also did some fursuit construction, but I don't recommend that since it's really hard to find the necessary materials. General arting would be a better idea. There was a place on post where you could get free lumber and hardware, so there were a lot of gazebos everywhere. The armor crosses were all hand made too.
