Uadari Range Convoy Leader

We just got back from being on the range in Kuwait. We slept in tents on the floor for 3 days. We had sandstorms every day, the sky turns brown and you cant see but jsut a few feet in front of you. It lasts for hours and and gets into places you didnt think it could. The sand out here is fine like baby powder and man when the wind kicks up, its hell. We did combat logistics patrols with some contrators in Kuwait and practice CQM (close quarters marksmanship with my M9 pistol) it was pretty cool. The first night out, I was eating my MRE on a sandpile and a group of camels came cruising by us at dusk, it was pretty surreal and very cool. We were staying 5 miles from the checkpoint to enter Iraq, at nigt you can see the lights from the checkpoint, pretty neat. We are not to far off from leaving here and heading into Iraq. I have some more training today and more PT tonight, thats the routine here in Kuwait. Ill write more later and post a few more pics.
