… if there is such a thing in Iraq.

Anyway, its been a bit since I posted anything new, but the net here isn’t nearly as reliable or fast as it is in the States.  Not much is going on here right now.  Its gotten pretty hot already, but it is still raining from time to time.  Its actually pretty green here if you can imagine the desert with a thin carpet or sparse green grass (covered by refuse).

Got hit by another IED a few weeks ago.  Nothing big.  Didn’t even do any damage.  I have been working in my off time at the Aid Station so I get to see some interesting things and it helps the time pass.  Outside of that, its basically the normal daily routines – patrol, secure, inspect, drink chai, and come back.  We did a dismount in the market the other day and I wish I had had some Dinar.  Some of the fruits here are awesome this time of year, and Iraq is known for its dates.

Hope I didn’t bore the one or two people who look in here from time to time, but the Army doesn’t like us telling too much about what we are doing because the “Ali Baba” (Bad Men) are watching.
