Day 18

We leave for Iraq today. First platoon is gone and we get on the plane sometime this evening. We've spent enough time here in Kuwait, time for the main event. We're flying to taji in the northern part of Baghdad. We'll stay there for a few weeks then go to another place. We got all our stuff ready last night, the only things that can go on the plane are ruck sacks and assault packs. We'll be in full battle rattle for the flight which is kind of annoying but whatever. Maybe they'll let us take it off on the plane.
