welcome to hell

im now in iraq. the land of sand and sun. it took me 4 days to get here and maybe another week before i get to my real base. but untill then im on camp stryker. the cool thing is that you still hear gun fire at night. its going on now acually. but other than that its boring. i paid 26 dollars for a weeks worth of internet.

seasons greetings from the stall

we come from all parts of the country to unite for our cause. and for some reason we like to write it everywhere we go. along with some pretty racist remarks too.

merry x-mas

well its christmas here in kuwait

and it looks like the pictures are up and running finally. it must be a christmas miracle. so i have an idea, ill be putting up top 10s on here. like top ten songs i listen to to get ready to rock the big guns here, or top ten things i dont like about deploying. so if you have any other ideas let me know and ill put them up as well. the more you request, the more time i waste on here and the faster time will go by.

day 5?

its christmas eve and right now i can tell you that im sure that tommorow will be another day. to boost up my x-mas spirit i took a cup of coffee and put candy canes in it. its not starbucks but for now i guess it will do.

last night i had a 12 hour shift watching a phone. i rang maybe twice the whole time. i guess there must be a problem in the army if the soldier has too much free time to call family. he must do tasks like look at a wall for long periods of time. i dont know ill look it up in the regulaions.

this morning as i made my way to the USO i took some pictures of the cement barracades painted by army units that had been in kuwait before iraq. i found two Massachusetts national guard ones. (as soon as i get better internet i promise to have them up).

then in the USO i spent my time reading christmas cards for elementary school kids thanking us for what we do. So little timmy if your reading this, i like turkey too and not its not that hot out yet. i will try to write to you as soon as i find out your address.

its been boring here so far but soon enough i will be in iraq. i swear i will see blood. hopefully not my own and maybe a camel.

also ive read one book so far and need ideas on another book so if anyone has an idea for one let me know.

later days

greetings from kiuwait!

ok well its not as hot as i expected, about 75. and it seems like this place wants more money from the soldiers than help. than again it is a US base. ok then its photo time!, or not because arab WI-FI is slow as hell. well ill fix this and i will also have more to talk about seeing as its only day 1.

keep on trucking kids

Welcome to the stall!

along with the stories of war or just postings i will also add pictures of weird drawings and other poetry i find on port-o-johns in Iraq. so join me into a world that you never hear about in history books. see whats really on the minds of soldiers. only a matter of time till this kicks off.
