I don't really have a reason for naming this section back to school. I was just thinking about what time of year it was and school is starting soon. Well, uh, where do I begin? I guess I could start by telling you that it's not Alli writing this right now. There is really only one other person that it could be then, but I will leave that up to your imagination.
Sooo. Updates. I have been in Iraq for a week. We have no set schedule as of yet. We are taking over for CLB (Combat Logistics Battalion) 7 who is here right now. As soon as they leave we will have our regular working schedule. As of right now I am the lead gunner for our convoys. I am really excited about that. I am not sure why. I like being up front I guess. Whatever the case may be I am excited to get outside the wire and start doing my job. Outside the wire means getting off base. There is a name for people that just spend all their time on base. We call them Fobbits. I don't ever want to be put into that category. And its just plain boring. The chow hall is really good. I eat one or two really good meals everyday. Anything from chicken to fish or stirfry or cheese steaks. There is always four or more options to choose from. There is also a desert section that i visit on the regular. A chocolate cheesecake and cookies and cream or javamoca ice cream is pretty legit. Other than that we have been getting some classes on the area, cultural familiarization and so on and so forth.
I will keep you all up-to-date on what I am doing, usually after it happens because I can't tell you before for security reasons. Even then I am limited but rest assured I will tell you as much as I can as soon as I can.
Love you all and thanks for your prayers,
Zack
