Now from Iraq

After a not-so-great plane ride, we've arrived in Al Kut with gale force winds and a temp drop near freezing. What a mess. I have my own room, the size of Gunner's in a trailer kinda thing. The base is a dirty, dusty, concrete reinforced place with an outstanding dining hall with food of all sorts. That's fantastic.

I can access internet through the Morale Welfare Recreation (MWR) site until I get internet in my room. The PX is a pit, about the size of a Circle K.

Should be interesting, but bearable.

Anyway, gotta run. Only a limited time on this computer.

Love,

Chris

Chris- Glad to hear you made it safely. I always thought Kuwait looked alot like Southern AZ but with camels! Enjoy the cooler weather. Cristie and I want to wish you and your comrades a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We're thinking about you guys and thankful for all that you do. Be safe! -Pat & Cristie
