Well, I am headed back to Iraq, the land of sand. Hey, look at that, it rhymes. Anyway, I say "back" because I was in Iraq in 2004 and Qatar in 2005. Here's a little snapshot of me in Kuwait right before we went to Iraq. As you can see, I am wearing a kevlar helmet and vest. In case you didnt know, Kevlar is extremely heavy and cumbersome. That is most likely why I am a little hunched over. Also notice the red shirt and red jacket. This is a mistake I am not likely to make again. Right before I got on the plane to get into Iraq, a soldier asked me to change my shirt. I am wearing white shoes as well. BAD choice for sandy, desert terrain. They were brown when I brought them home. Anyway, more to come soon. Just wanted to give you a taste of what is to come.
