We're getting closer!

The time is quickly approaching for when I will be flying over to Iraq. But not before I go on my 4 day pass! I'm really excited to get out and see the real world, it gets pretty monotomous around here; seeing the same stuff, the same uniform on everyone, the same ... shall I say interesting ... food, and the same people. I've got a lot of pictures, and I hope to soon get them up so everyone can see them. We have a really long training event coming up in a few days or so, so I won't be able to do anything before then, but quite possibly after that. I hope everyone is doing good! I'm doing good down here. My back is holding up, and my health is doing good. During training exercises, when stuff starts to happen, like getting ambushed by some OPFOR (Oposition Forces) I've been starting to take charge more, and get people doing what needs to get done. It is really cool to see how my training over the course of my enlistment (getting close to 5 years) actualy takes over when the situations call for it. I hope everyone has a good rest of this ever fading month.

Talk to everyone later!
