Finally deployed

Real quick- my Task Force and I finally made it out of Ft. Sill, Oklahoma and are now in Kuwait. We are progressing ahead of shedule and are starting to take on flight missions. The unit that we are replacing are in the process of packing up so things are hectic and shared space is tight. I finally moved out of my tent and into a little trailer with air conditioning (12' x 10'). The air conditioner is a necessity and I hope it never fails. Today it was about 110 degrees and summer is officially a month away! Tommorow I will do my local are orientation flight and I suspect that things will look the same as it did 8 years ago when I was here! The visibility has been pretty bad due to the frequent sand storms we have been having. The sand gets into everything, in fact I have that constant sensation of grit in my mouth because of it.

Well take care and I will write more soon.
