Arrived safely to Iraq. The flight was quite the adventure. They packed us in like sardines on the movie Band of Brothers. One of the officers sat up front in the cockpit with a headset. He almost peed himself when he heard all the alarms and sirens going off. The crew got real nervous as we flew thru a sandstorm. You could hear the sand beating against the plane and the engine. At one point the co-pilot thought lightning struck the wing. Nice huh?
So here we are! The base we are currently at is unbelievable. Lots of amenities. Easy to see how the US spends some 31 Billion a month on this war. We are enjoying everything we can while we have it because news is where we are going is pretty substandard. It is a small base for just my company and support units. The benefit is that we wont be bothered by all the brass.
Have to run will keep you all updated.
Love and miss ya

I have a wonderful girlfriend, puppy, and family back home who I miss dearly. My intention of this blog is to enlighten those back home as to what a deployment entails while remaining anonymous and preserving operational security
