Its been to long

My faithful peeps. 10,000 appologies for my lack of posting. I owuld love to tell you about how busy I have been hunting down and killing insurgent scum, or how I have been faithfully and dilligently pusruing those that would do us harm but the truth is I have jsut not been in a writing mood.



Things are well here and I realize that alot has gone on in the recent past that you all might be interested in, but to me it is all just one long day. Sometimes writing about it requires me to keep the issues in the forefront of my mind and to be honest, that is the last thing I want to do.



My days have not changed much in the past few months, which I assume is part of the treason I dont feel like writing about them. I am still working coalition logisitics. Still on a staff doing administrative work like writing breifings, researching regulations, data mining and information gathering. All crap that I joined the army so I would not have to do.



I am still as safe and comforatable as any of you. Actually, statistically speaking I am far safer than almost any of you. There is virtually no crime on Camp Arifjan, certainly no violent crime. I dont leave post much, but even when I do statistically the Kuwait highway is far safer than the American road. All of the amenities are still operating. Both PXs, the Starbucks, Pizza Hut, etc. Its all very cozy. I really cant get over the number of people that complain about living here. It sucks I admit, but for me it sucks because it is so cushy and I feel like such a shamer. Most of you dont understand this feelign, but soldiers will. Believe me, when you see those troops livin up at a FOB or Combat Outpost that dont get showers for days, or have to eat MRE's everyday and then you hear esomebody bitchin because they have to walk 200 meters from the dining facility to their barracks room where they have cable TV, AC, a bed and a latrine down the hall it can piss you off.



Recently, I admit I have had trouble focusing. I leave this week for R&R, and I cannot wait. I am meeting up with Emily in Italy and we will spend two weeks in Italy and Germany! We have quite a bit planned and I promise I will post pics. We might even do a seperate blog. I am not sure about all that but it seems like a fun idea as I sit here and think about Emily and I recounting that days adventures in a brief blog and a few pictures each day.



Well thats the update. The weather is getting warmer and by the time I get back in mid March we will be knockign on the door of 100 degree days.
