These were taken from the steps of my hut during my stay at Ali Al Salem. This is right before the storm I mentioned in an earlier post.
Enjoy!
**EDIT**
Some people have also been asking about the weather and my sidearm. I'll do my best to answer on both issues.
Most days have felt to be around 65 with the hot desert sun bearing down... at night it gets into the low 40s/upper 30s.
My sidearm is a Sig Sauer P228 (M11 9mm) and the clearing stations are still the big drums but with the 228 you don't pull the trigger... just uncock the hammer.

Hi ! I just found your blog from Miss Bee and just read your story about flying to Iraq. I will be keeping up with your blog and just want you to know how much what you do is appreciated. More than you will ever know. Stay safe and healthy and I'm so glad that today's technology can keep you so connected to your loved ones....and us...out in blog land.

Let me know how that M11 holds up. Our unit issued the M9 and M11 for "special" people.
Most of us turn down the M11 and let the poges take them to look cool because they seem to malfunction more than the M9s.
Is that the golden arches in the back? Never expected that! :)
Miss you and love you!
Aero -
Great pictures.
Keep that Sig Sauer clean. I prefer the old Colt .45 myself, but I never got to shoot the Sig.
