IRAQ
The big sandbox, or Iraq as most non-mil. know it...yes I am now here. It's taken awhile considering the US has been here over 3 years and now there's talks of drawing down the number of troops, but that doesn't matter because I finally made it. I am going to be stationed at Camp Bucca; named after Ronaled Bucca, a firefighter who died in the WTC attacks, and was an Army Reserve Military Police. I have great aspirations of acomplishing both personal and professional goals durring my year here, as well I am intrigued to know just what exactly I will be doing since my specialty isn't a very needed skill at this moment. Being the jack of all trades that I have been, I will try my best to get out and experience a little bit of everything, satifying my ever hungry curiosity of life, and making me more rounded as a soldier. I apoligize for the lack of pictures, my camera's LCD screen got cracked in training at fort dix, and the repair cost was a little higher than I expected ($280.00) so it might be a while before I publish any original works, but I will try to aquire some pic's from friends so that I can share what I am seeing with you all.

gotta get blanket sleepers for the baby.
