The prof gave me an A on the project. I think I only deserved a B, but got the A due to actually having been there and some weird sort of pity from her I think. Heh.

That was her way of thanking you for your service ;)

What did you do while you were deployed?

See, I thought was a bullshit war and don't like being thanked just because I served. People do things everyday that require courage and they dont get the same acknowledgements as I did. I served because it was a good job opportunity during my high school/university years (I was in the reserves). Anyway, i digress.

I was there for nine months. 2 months was done as a radio operator in the tactical operations center, I spent 5 months humping a radio with 1ppcli on various patrols and building forward operating bases, and a final 2 month providing computer assistance to those at the Kandahar base.

I built my presentation around the Afghan culture and how they live life different than us.

That makes sense. It's true that a lot of other people don't get thanked much like EMTs and whatnot. It's unfortunate. But still, it's good that you honorably fulfilled your duty and didn't skip out like some people try to and stuff.
