It's been a long time since I last posted. Almost a year, and frankly no substantial posts since I deployed. Well, I am back in Texas. My journey to Iraq has come and gone. So I shall shake the dust of Texas from my feet and leave all the excess space of spread out central TX for New York City where they know how to design a city.

We have a new President. A bit liberal for my tastes, but I'll give him a chance to prove himself I should be able to shake the cobwebs of this blog now that I have respectable internet, and am free of that horrid Magic Islands Technology, which is a glorified rip off designed to give soldiers crappy bandwidth at premium prices.

Now off to reintegrate into a new unit, so I can head out shortly thereafter.

Baghdad initiation

I am now in Camp Liberty, in Baghdad, Iraq. I repeat...I am in Mesopatamia....both awe-inspiring and a little frightening, but thankfully, I am not in the worst of it.

All is well, but not perfect, as I had my true welcome, when a mortar round went off somewhere in the distance, and I went under the bunker until the all clear was sounded....I guess that means I have been initiated.

New update from Kuwait. I am in Kuwait and I have a wireless connection from now, but it is slow and unreliable. I'll be amazed if this post hits, actually.

I left Killeen at 1030 this morning, and now I am in Shannon Intl Airport for a brief layover. Hopefully I'll post again in Kuwait.
