Wow! Less than 100 days left in Iraq! I’ll be stuck in Kuwait for 15 days or so before I fly home, but at least no one is shooting at you there, and I’ll be able to catch up with my troops I left down there when I moved to Baghdad. But I really cannot wait to see my family in the states! I think the entire task force is done and everyone is counting down the final days of the deployment.

Below are some snaps of the C-RAM shooting. It is really much more impressive than the pictures show; maybe my wife will let me get one when I get home. Rumor is that it costs a quarter million every time it shoots.

Here is a pic of LTC S feeding his bed bug colony. He has certainly been here too long!

Here is a snap of the short timer’s calendar on the door leading to the command cell. I guess we are all ready to go home!

Here is the birdhouse in Dodge City North, where I live. Apparently this used to be a private zoo for one of Saddam’s sons.
