Its been a while since I’ve written anything so I decided I can take a little time and let everyone know what I’ve been up to. Mainly we’ve been focused on 24-hour operations so we can get a feel on what life will be like very soon. During the exercise my life consists of going to work before the sun rises, spending the entire day in a windowless, cell phoneless building and leaving well into the night, only to start the whole process over after a shower and few hours of sleep.
In a matter of a few weeks we will be in Iraq doing the real thing. I can’t say exactly when I’m going to leave but I’m thinking I’ll be spending my birthday in the desert. I’m kind of getting excited to leave. A little scared, but most of all anxious to get this started and get out of Ft. Lewis. I’m not looking forward to the heat, but I’m tired of the rain here in Washington. The sun barely comes out and even when it does, its appearance is brief. I’m sure that pretty soon Ill be wishing the sun away but I’m not at that point yet. Today we went to the PX and stocked up on last minute items. As I wrote this I realized that I forgot baby wipes. Apparently the showers on our soon to be base aren’t plentiful enough or in working condition to afford enough shower time for all. I’ll be posting my new address soon, a reminder to all. My birthday is coming up so you can send me presents to my new address ;-)
