Day 16

It's early in the morning and there's not much to do today. We hardly did anything yesterday either, except the bravos left for Iraq. We don't have a plane scheduled yet so we have to wait. Some time in the next five days they said. We're just sitting in the bay ready to go. I saw Brian Cheek a few times over the past few days, we were good friends back at Fort Lewis. He's a real social butterfly and seems to get along with everyone. I could never be like that. I went and lifted weights yesterday. Rocci the sniper who is affiliated with our squad is serious about all the supplements and all that stuff. After lifting we talked for a while about the different benefits of protein and amino acids and all this other stuff. A lot of the guys are looking to get buff in Iraq, I just need to gain some weight.
