Chris is in Taji

Chris moved safely to Taji and we have his new address:

CW3 Chris Pedersen
A Co, 2-285th Assault Helicopter Bn
Camp Taji
APO AE 09378

I know the second line wraps to a third line over there in the Chris' address section of the blog's left margin, but it's supposed to look like this. We're all used to just writing AHB - I'll check with him to see if we can keep abbreviating it.

He's sharing a room with another pilot in temporary quarters until they can move into CHUs. He said he could throw a rock over the guard fence near their building and hit an Iraqi freeway/highway. He hasn't, he's just giving us an idea of how close he is to the ouside world. That's very different from COB Delta. And he says this base feels very old compared to COB Delta. But he still has food and showers, so that's a good thing.

Gunner finished summer school (woo hoo!) and Lauren's getting ready for classes at ASU. They're both working hard at relaxing.

Love to all, Linda
