Living life in another world
So most should know by now that I am in fact in Iraq. We left Kuwait mid week early as crack of dawn in the morning. The flight it was kinda cool, they had to do a combat landing. You know the weightless feeling you get when you're on the Power Tower, it was kinda like that. We got in, got that inprocessing shit done then moved on to our spots. The weather is much the same as in Kuwait, hot during the day and cool at night. That was till Sunday night. It just decided to rain like monsoon style for four hours out of the blue. Left us in Mud City, instead of Tent City.
Other then that, it's pretty fucking boring over here. I have been here nearly a week and have yet to hear a mortar or anything come in for sure yet. I did hear a couple explosions a while ago, as well as the other night, but I'm unsure if they were mortars or something completely different. I sit all day in a semi motorpool, we call it the team room, and play Wii Sports or watch TV all day. I don't even do my job here yet. So I spend no money (except when I go to Subway which isn't even that often), and I do nothing all day. Can anyone say BALLIN'!!!
For those that are wondering, I'm 8 hours ahead of the central time zone, 7 of the east, 10 of the west (AZ and Cali etc). My address is available, most should have gotten it in an email I sent the other day, if not, ask me via message and I shall reply with it. More updates will come with time. In the mean time, take care of yourselves, and each other and I shall do the same.
