The title kinda sucks, but thats not the point.  I was perusing YouTube, of all places, and found this little video from C 2/227.  Its a pretty good representation of my life here, even some of the places they go in and out of are the same (I think I saw my very own FOB in a shot or two, but I am not sure).  Anyway, its put together pretty well against a Rob Zombie music video.

By the way, I have no idea when exactly these guys were here.

Movie after the jump, of course.

Absolutely nothing happened.  Complete quiet.  Not one medevac related to violence or even combat.  Hopefully that’s a sign of things to come here.  I have to say though, that Iraqis take their elections much more seriously than do people in the US.  Very little apathy in the voting public.  I mean would you turn out to vote if you were unsure whether or not you would be killed for doing so?  Especially if you are a woman?  The security forces (Army, Police, etc) got to vote a day early just to make sure there would be enough people to ensure the safety of the public.

Ok.  That’s it for now.  Just a quick update from someone actually here and not in some news office.
