Saturday...

Due to the fact that rental cars are not authorized for us I am stuck on base. It feels like being in a minimum security facility or so I am told. We can walk around the base but getting off base is kind of difficult. We need to use the buddy system and most of these guys want to walk to the closest watering hole and just get smashed the problem is that the base is located in a not too friendly area so we are better off staying put.
We did find out that we will be heading to a base somewhere north of that city in Iraq. It seems to be a bit safer than at the previous location. (somewhere south of that city in Iraq) I do not know what projects we will be working on as we will be splitting up the workload with our counter parts with the Army Corps of Engineers (Rocks + rocks + lots of water = DAMN!) and the Airforce's Red Horse (the Pink Ponies) We have an ongoing history with the two of them. They think that they work better than we do but the thing is that the Army has a tendency to overlook the small stuff (see equation above) and the Air Force hates to get their equipment and/or themselves dirty. Seriously though, we are one big happy family. I'm sure that things will work out for the better.
Anyway, I have not been able to post any photographs lately as this site has been experiencing some difficulties. I will keep trying. Take care.
