Day 15

Today we're going to load up the Conex, I guess we're getting ready to go to Iraq. That could be bad because yesterday I took my laundry to get done and it's still at the laundry place until tomorrow. I'm not worried though because everything goes so slow that we're getting ready to go means another 5 days. Somebody blabbed about where we're going on the phone to their wife last night and it's an Operational Security violation. They held a formation and made a big deal about it. They just shouldn't tell us this stuff if we don't need to know it. Yesterday we went to another range and our squad played Op 4 which is the opposition to our forces in a drill. I didn't participate because I didn't feel like getting shot with the pellets they were using. The days continue to slide by easily and I think even if it sucks really bad in Iraq that the time will go fast because we are always busy and everything is new. Each day is a new thing. I've been getting a lot of E-mail from my family and friends of the family. I get along with Thompson and Faichney and Adamson and Rocci, not so much the leadership becuase they choose to separate themselves and form their own group. They expect the lower guys to grovel but I don't care. Zimmer, my team leader is the worst. I just don't talk to him.
