Love from Baghdad.
Left the beauty of Dubai and flew in to Kuwait. Had an 8 hour layover there and had been told to check out the VIP lounge. Best $50 dollars I ever spent. Had a couch to sit/lay on, buffet all day, and juice, etc. at your convenience. Walked out to the tarmac to board a bus to be taken to our plane. When the bus started heading away from the main airport I should have known. Then we finally pull up to a plane with ABSOLUTELY NO MARKINGS except a few call letters on the front. Boarded the plane (all Americans) which told you we were all going to work for KBR. Land on the military side of the air base in Iraq and hustled off the tarmac once again. Then boarded buses with blacked out windows and drove to the base. Good times. The main camp area is really neat. Went to the DFac (dining facility) and the food was great. Went to the PX and got some essentials that I had not packed. Spent all my first day in training. There were some really nice people and I met a lady that grew up in Crockett. Small world. Anyway, I will get my permanent assignment later. Sending love from Baghdad.
