I have arrived
I finally made it to this lovely country called Iraq. It's, how should I say it......interesting. Ok, that's not the most descriptive portrayal, but right now I'm tired so just bear with me. I have been here for about 5 days and it's been the most surreal experience of my life. I will save the story of my flight up here and my bags being left behind for another day. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm here, I'm alive and Hadji has been pretty active the past couple of days around here. Well, I'm off to work (nights) so this post will be short and sweet. I still can't get my mind around the fact that Dude, I'm in Iraq!

Sandbox Sailors do it right! Keep your eyes open and head down. You're making history.
Listen to LT Nixon, he's entirely whacked.
And if you need a line into any support groups let me know, there's a couple that helped keep me sane while over there that I can turn your way!

Hey navy chick, been a while but Im back on. I am enjoying active duty. I hope you are too. I ended up being stationed in colorado. now Im at Yay...desert training in California, whats this for?....
We are on orders now for the sandbox. I will be out there before the end of the year sometime but I cant say when. I hope that you stay safe and keep in touch regularly. Good luck and remember that you dont have to be anyones hero but your own! Ill have another post up soon. I had to delete my last comment because the forces that be decided that I couldnt say a few things and they were automatically deleted. So my comment was all jacked up. And here I thought I was careful enough with what I said.
Good luck over there!
