Hello all from dusty, sandy Iraq. I am posted in Tallil, but currently, I am in Baghdad sanded in on a convoy. So far it isn't bad at all. I am now a platoon leader in the cavalry. I have been in country for about a week and have spent most of that week at Camp Victory on the northern side of Baghdad International Airport. I went out on convoy with one of my 2 convoys and we have been stuck here. This isn't a bad place to be stuck in. The PX and dining facilities are better here than Tallil, which isn't bad.
We were in Kuwait for over a week, and it was hot, hotter than here. I saw my first camels and bedoins there. They can have it all...
I was one of the rare few that got their original posts. My company commander and first sergeant are great people. They are as advertised. I am really pleased with my platoon. My platoon sergeant is also a first rate guy with a varied wealth of experience to draw from. I have some really wonderful people around me and I'm as pleased as I can be being as far away as I am from home and the people I love. So far, so good. Keep up the prayers for all of us, and our families. Thank you all, and I love you.
Matt
