Going out of my mind

I have now been here for 3 days and have done absolutely nothing. Just eat sleep and work out. Oh, and watch "The Pretender." a great series that is not longer on the air. As you can see, I just uploaded some pictures to the blog. I snuck a thumb drive into the MWR and uploaded the pictures before anyone noticed. I hope that it gives a little more depth to the blog, so you all can get a little better feel for the area. I really do miss being home. I am starting to miss the home life and the routines that I had. This not doing anything, gives me time to think about all the things I left behind. Let me tell you what. THIS REALLY BITES.

I would rather be so busy that there is not enough time in the day to get it all done. At least that way, time goes by really fast. My last time out here seamed to go by in days not years. Now, it seams to be going by in years not days. I prefer the former. I feel like I have been here for months when in reality, it has been just 24 days. I am looking forward to getting to my assignment and going back on some missions.

I still have not received the gear for my soldier. He is starting to get worried that it might never come. I called the HQ element and expressed my concern and they assured me that they are going to do everything in their power to get it to us before we move to our next location. As though I have not heard that one before. At least, if we do not get it here, it will only have to follow us one more location. Once we get to our spot at COP Panich, we are not supposed to be relocating any more.

FOB Fenty, where we are right now, is a really nice area. I just saw a UAV come in for a landing the other day. It was a sight to behold. There it is, a full size aircraft with out any place for a person to sit, landing on the run way and taxiing to its parking spot. WOW, how cool is that. I would post pics of it if I could, but, we are not aloud to take pictures of the airfield and its surrounding area. To think, that people are getting paid to fly an remote controlled air plane around for a living. "VAT A KONTRY" Not that my job is bad or anything, but, wow.

Of course the pressure is much higher on them than it is on me and my guys. We are not responsible for a multi million dollar piece of equipment that could fall out of the sky at any time. Our equipment, although price wise is about the same, is with us at all times. I have hands on and know what is going on with it at all times. A little less pressure that way.

Well, my time here is up. I need to relinquish my computer to the next person on the list. I will try to get back on one more time before we ship out tomorrow.
