Well, not much to add. Much to my dismay I've been reassigned to the clinic from the hospital. My CO has tried to get me back but the hospital CO isn't budging. This will now go down as the must dreadfully boring deployment I've been on. There was another dust storm today. Planning to go the Iraqi Bazaar tomorrow. Haven't taken a dip in Saddam's pool yet but did get to see Hulk in his theater. Internet here is iffy so I don't get on much. Hope all is well back home.

Mortaritaville

Doing ok. haven't done much yet, still in-processing. I'm not close to any of the gyms but once I get orientated I'll get that back online. Haven't found a civilian internet service yet and I cant upload pics with the military comps, so sorry. Hope all is well.

Finally made in. just after a horrific sand storm. Everything is covered in dust. Much dryer here. My sense of direction will be challenged more than i thought. Every building is surrounded by a 15ft concrete barrier (sim. to the barriers on the highway but 15-20 tall). Sand/dust is everywhere. and tho I'm across the street from the hospital I'm miles away from the showers (UGH). I'll be practically covered in dust by the time i get back to my room. Well at least they did put port-a-johns near every building. Still no potable water so everything is bottle water (hate to see the new island that landfill will create).

Al Udeie

Dust storm today. Not sure if we will be able to fly out. We'll see. More than ready to get to work but one can get use to the eating working out and sleeping.

Survived my first day in Al Udeid, Qatar. Lazy day; will find out this evening when I fly out to Balad. Got to 110 degrees today. Went to bed @ 1am, up @ 7am, did the gym thing, bkf, walked around lost 25lbs from sweating, read some. back to the gym then lunch. then crashed (jet lag). Sun finally set so mid 90s. finally i can get on the network.

Leipzig

Well, just made it to Leipzig to refuel and crew change. Great flight. I am stuff like a pig; they kept feeding us all flight. Had a few good movies i'd say. 8hrs down another 8 to go.
