update

Still in Kuwait, we are drawing our kevlar vest today in preparation for going to the firing range later this week. The days are pretty slow, the object of coming here is to allow you body to adjust before going to Iraq, which I thought was silly until we got here, its not so much the temp, but going from when your body says is 2 am to it being 6pm is quite a hard thing to overcome. We had steak and lobster for dinner last night. One thing I learned is that the Kuwait govt provides all the food to US forces in Kuwait as a donation, except for pork, if that s served, the US has to buy it for obvious reasons. They have a cool movie theater here that you can reserve a time, go in, pick your own movie (they have all first run stuff here) and the theater is yours for 2 hours! you have to sign up for a time, but its pretty cool. We have watched several like that. The USO by far has the best set up here. They have a place where you can go in and they will video you reading books to your kids, then sedn the tape AND the book home to them free of charge..I have done several recordings for Ella and Avery. Im on my cot at 5am typing this, we bought HS WIFI here for 12/week, so I can sit on my bunk at 5am in the middle of the desert and post on this blog...pretty sweet. I have an international plan on my cell and for a mere $2.50 a minute , I can call home wherever I am...obviously I dont use it much, so dont be offended, but if you call, I wont answer for 2.50$ a minute. Well, going to eat breakfast now, eveyone is staring to get up. If you have ever had to endure 40 guys in one place sleeping and snoring, its horrible..it sounds like a band with all of the noises all night...


Write again tomorrow.
