Kuwait

Im here in Kuwait now. What a different world this is. On the way to the base, a 2 1/2 hour ride from the airport, we were sitting on bus, with no real air or draft, no a.c., in the desert. Driving down these roads, as far as you can see is sand, to what looks to be the end of the world. Along sides of the road are many wild camels, some wild dogs, and sheep. There was a bit of trash along side of the road, and dead animals too. Its really hot and dry here. About mid 80's. The sand has been blowing around a bit for the past day, but the first two days we were here it was pretty calm. This morning there was poor visabillity so it delayed our day. On saturday, I am supposed to fly into theatre. You all know where i will be going. Once i have an address i will be sure to let everyone know. I am not allowed to post that one here so i will be in some other way. Things are alright here though. How is everything back home? I miss everyone. It is a completely whole different world out here, undescribable through pictures although when i get some they will go on facebook, hopefully soon. They way the heat is and the wind and the sand, and how when you look off in the distance there is nothing...no grass, no trees, just sand. Kinda crazy. Well thats all i got for now, if you have any specific questions about anything out here, leave a comment and i will be sure to get back, the more questions the better. Hope everyones doing well.

Deployment Day

Today is the day that I deploy. I was supposed to leave yesterday but unfortunately there was a problem with something on the plane but they got it fixed and we should be good to head out of here soon. I just want to say that I am going to miss my family, friends, girlfriend and everything from home. Once I get over there and I have the opportunity to use the internet I will write how the flight is and the next plans of action. As much as I am allowed to put on here. I will be updating this a lot more from here on out. Everyone back home keep healthy and don't forget me. Stay safe. Ill be home soon.

Nothings impossible!
