I hate this place. I am so anxious to get home its driving me nuts. And I know when i get back i will still have another month or so that I`ll have to spend in Georgia. (at least I`ll be able to come down for the weekends.) Tomorrow I`m going on a routine mission to Iraq. Talil,Iraq if you wanna be technical. Thats about 210 miles from the north Kuwaiti border. Which means that its around 310 miles from me. Well nothing like two days work. I guess I`ll be doing this kind of stuff until we go home. On the sunny side though, its 8:27 am Kuwaiti time, and that means that in less than an hour, the only other unit ahead of us, goes on the plane.........
Granted my unit has no orders yet, but at least we are next in line.
Been having strange dreams lately and much like at home, I`m staying up REALLY late. Insomnia strikes again.
I wish I was at the beach right now. Its not even 9 am and its 100 degrees out here. I think they should build a massive water park in Kuwait. They`d make millions!
As far as today is concerned, nothing really going on except prep work for tomorrow, (i.e. drawing weapons, getting ammo, inspecting the trucks...). And then of course the usual workout. Not too exciting. I`m not complaining about being bored. Getting paid to hang out here is no problem for me, but damn the anticipation of getting home is so obsession-like.
well, thats all for now read me later........................................JMB
