Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been traveling again. I recently returned to Baghdad after spending some time in Balad. I was there to support two Army units with the management of their logistics movements; food, supplies, weapons, etc. Balad isn't bad as military FOB's go (Forward Operating Base). It even has a pool and a great gym. We were shelled every day I was there but the base is 20 square miles in size so nothing came down too close to me. Next week I'm off to Tikrit for a few days. Tikrit is a small coalition forces base about 60 miles north of Baghdad. Next month I might be up in Mosul for a bit too.
So I'm getting down to the wire now. I am scheduled to leave Iraq for good at the end of next month! Finally!!!! 46 days and a wake-up.
