Well yesterday was very tiring, and I actually did write, but somehow it didn't post. You have to love the internet over here. Every once in a while it will just go down for the hell of it. It's okay though, we deal with it, and just wait. It took me nearly 2 hours just to send out one e-mail. That's okay though. I'm trying to post some pictures, but it looks like I may need to just mail them home. Start looking in the mail, Mom!

So it's been about 3 months since I've gotten any mail, so I'm pretty excited to be getting some soon. I've been back and forth between where I'm staying, but now it looks like I'll be here for quite a while. I'm pumped though, I've already gotten to know a lot about living in a combat zone. And, at least when I get back to garrison I'll feel so spoiled! Right now I'm on a 24/7 work schedule, so it will definately be nice when I get back to a normal schedule.

I'm moving into our building tomorrow, it's a small room, but after our building gets renovated, I'll be moving into a bigger one. I feel bad that I have to force an NCO out of her room, but it's not good for me to stay in the tent for an extended period of time. It will be nice not to have to walk 2 blocks to get to the bathroom! Not to mention when we have alerts I won't have to get all dressed up and carry all my crap inside. It's something I deeply appreciate. As long as I get to redeploy with this unit, I honestly don't care what they put me through in the next 9 months.

Well in the last two days I've done a lot. Mostly I've been working to get our building in better shape. A big ol' vehicle keeps driving over our sidewalk, and tears it up. So I've been getting barriers for that. We're also moving around a bit, so I'm trying to get supplies for that. Anyway, it's about time I get to bed. Or at least out of DCU's and get some down time. Night! Oh, and please post comments! I'd love to hear from everyone!
