Loading up and getting ready to get on a C-130 to head to Iraq
Best part was getting to finally wear our performance tops. They are way better when wearing the body armor.
This is my bed. You will notice the Captain America blanket... :)
I love this picture. American Flag flying in a combat zone.
These are the bunkers all over base. When the alarm sounds for mortar or rocket attacks we are supposed to get into one if we are out in the open.
All of our buildings are fortified by these concrete barriers.
Sand is everywhere. There is no escaping it!
I am still getting used to seeing Arabic writing everywhere.
All over base there are bunkers left over from the Saddam Hussein days.
Another shot of a bunker and some of the "scenery".
Just another day heading off to the office..... It was actually about 110 degrees outside so it was REALLY hot with my body armor on!!
We live in these little trailers. There are 4 of us in each one.
Those bunkers look pretty secure. That is comforting. Thanks for the update. I sent the flag and hopefully it will get to you on time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the postings. That's a lot of gear to carry around in that kind of heat. Sadly, 110 is only about 3 degrees above what it was in Houston for about a month!!
