Time keeps on ticking


This is the part of a deployment that can be considered as "the lull". Not a whole lot new each day as I work some big projects, keep up with trend analysis, and play Dodge'em with incoming mortars. We had four drop in while we were having breakfast. After a while, unless it's really close, you just keep doing what you are doing and go about your day.

Orto and I are working on a Friday patch for our uniforms. Something creative, tasteful, but not quite authorized. Fridays around here are normally Flightsuit Fridays so the aviator types can still feel like their wings haven't been clipped by flying a desk. I still have my ACU's with lots of velcro, so I will be able to wear my Friday patch around the squadron, but change over to official patches when go to the dining halls.

I have mentioned Victory Church before. I have included a picture below. We were bursting at the seems with standing room only for Sunday's service. The news of the 3 month extensions has hit a lot of Army soldiers hard. Our sermon was about God's plan not ours and how through Him we grow in the midst of adversity.





I have made a change to the comment system for this weblog. Registration is no longer required and you can fire at will with whatever you want to say. Hopefully, the change is a good thing...

Saw this sign on the back of a vehicle at the dining facility. It encourages the locals to report information to help Coalition Forces via telephone or a yahoo address.


A-ILUSVM!
