I passed my Arabic exam!

Today I had to take a Arabic exam. We are required to learn enough to allow us to get by in emergency situations. For example: "Are you in possession of any weapons" is " Inta shayel slah wiyak" or "Put your weapon down" is "thib slaaHak". I hope that I am not on the ground long enough in Iraq to have to use these phrases but you never know when bad luck is going to strike. Tomorrow I will be going to Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia to spend a few days flying the full motion flight simulator. The reason we do this is to sharpen our skills in emergency situations that can not be easibly duplicated in the real aircraft. As soon as I get back from that trip, I get to come home for a few days prior to shipping out overseas.
