Well, I have arrived. Kuwait will be my home for the next couple weeks at least. I am happy to be here, but it's weird. I have left the familiar and now am in a new environment. It's funny how familiarity can be taken for granted.
I am totally stoked. My annual percentage rate for my savings accout climbed to 2.6% from 2.35%. INGdirect.com is...

not sure when I'll be in TX again. Prolly in late April. see you there! Hope you have a safe trip home! 
Another couple of days have passed and I am still in the ancient city known as Baghdad to the locals, hell to us soldiers. I have been told that I will fly out from here to Kuwait on the 1st of March, which is good news. I am ready to go and I will not look back. They made me turn in my nice pretty,...

glad you have started the countdown to come back....
No wonder Sophie made you take another look at the site - she's gorgeous!
I notice that Green Day is on your list of favorite bands. They are from my area. My family has lots of ties to Billie Joe Armstrong, but my fave is the fact that my mommy was his sexond grade teacher. We have the class picture from that year, and he already looks like a rockstar. Attitude to spare.

I had a fun day today, no doubt. I worked this morning and spent the afternoon playing XBox. I am so glad that I am going home soon.

this is true, but it would be foolish for them to secede.
(I actually knew all that stuff - the_cowboy told me all kinds of fun facts the first time I came out - you know, the Dixie Chicken bar sells more beer per square foot than any other venue in the world)

I am beginning to enjoy my half day schedule. All I did this morning was burn the sensitive documents and such. It was pretty easy. And what's more, my good buddy got me a double cheeseburger for lunch. Isn't that awesome?
datsun:
we're still here!
I wish I had a cheeseburger...

Okay, I have some time and I thought that I would write a little in my internet journal for all my listeners/readers to...well...enjoy, I guess.
My unit's replacements are here, and I am down to half days now. I work in the mornings and I get the afternoon off.

I'll keep you posted as I figure out the details of my next couple of trips...
datsun:
is one of them linked to your SG account? if so, I'll just use the "contact" link to email you when the time comes.
Just checking in for my faithful listeners. (I know, it's only a couple, but I like my new friends! )

I passed my promotion board. I am now a Specialist (promotable). I need some more promotion points, then it is Sergeant Plassaras. I worked hard and it paid off.
Also, only a month or so left in this place!!!!! I cannot stress that enough. Our replacement unit is already starting to get here.
This is, EchoXero, you favorite (maybe)...

It has been awhile since I have last posted here. It has been really busy over here, with the elections and all. We lost two soldiers and four wounded. We had the memorial ceremony for our two fallen yesterday.
I was tasked to work with the Iraqi National Guard Advisors. Our task was to secure the childrens' Memorial. Of the four days that we were...

Stay safe out there.
I'm trying to go back to school, too.
Maybe instead of curbing your enthusiasm, you could just loan me a bit? I need to be more motivated.
good luck dealing with the boredom...
when you say "going home" is that back to base or to the NW?
