New year, new pictures

Well, 2006 can only be better than 2005. Not too much news, more of the same old missions. We've gotten some new people, I'm working on getting pictures of them all. And since the old pictures page was full, I started a new one. Check it out!!

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year...

...back to Iraq for me. Tomorrow I fly back to Iraq, but in the meantime, I've posted a bunch of pictures on the other site. Sorry for not posting when I first got back, but I've been spending lots of quality time with Linds!
Steph: I'm ok. If you don't hear from me, that means that I'm ok!
Later everyone

Suicide attack?

Two saboteurs came into our compound tonight. They were small furry creatures determined to kill us and destroy our way of life. The two cats crawled under a transformer and bit through the wires killing all the power at Camp Justice. And that's when one of the cats caught on fire.

Our dog buck started barking, and that's when we noticed that the large transformer was engulfed in flames. We put the burning cat out with a fire extinguisher...three times. It just kept catching on fire. After the third time, the other cat crawled out and ran off, quite literally, still smoking. Other than that, not too much going on. Thank you everyone who has sent stuff. Anything I haven't needed has been given to other soldiers who do need it. Thank you everyone for your support.

Elections be gone!

So Iraq can go back to a dictatorship now. I'm JOKING. But seriously, these things involve quite a bit of work, and we get to do it all over again in two months. Oh boy. I think we're all still coming up for air, and since there were no major attacks, we think that they're still looming on the horizon. There could well be a big one in the next couple of days even! So we'll be careful and stay as safe as possible.

Sgt. Evenson renlisted today. Congratulations, I guess. We all joked with him that he was "taking one for the team". The pictures have been posted, hope you like them.

Lindsey's birthday is nearly here, and I won't be there. Which sucks. So I'll eat ice cream for every meal this Thursday in her honor. Aside from that, not much is going on.

Constitutions and such

Well, here we go. Getting ready for the referendum has been a major full time job. I'd estimate that we were working something like 80 to 90 hours each week for the last couple of weeks just to get ready for this stupid thing. So once life settles down to a more normal (whatever that means) pace, I'll try to update this site more often. I really would like to post more often, but I have to have at least 5 hours of sleep each night or I'll fall asleep on patrol! I posted 4 more pictures today on the other site. And I'll post more here as soon as I something newsworthy happens.
