Excellent song! Mike McColgan or someone else did some homework, whoever wrote it. Having been in the Army for about 12 years, a lot of things sound like a Joe wrote the song. CONUS=continental US. Short-timer's attitude. Back to the world...all terms you hear in the army. The feeling when you get back from a deployment that your kids got older without you... The Dropkick Murphys had some thoughtful lyrics... this reminds me of the kind of "air raid warden will walk up and down" attention to detail.
