Not much to report here except that my throat is sore from something I ate or touched at the jss and that I had taco bell for lunch and now cannot think correctly. Zimmer is sitting next to me an d I don't like him. I just read some E-mail from mom and that made me feel good. I have a bunch of money saved up in my bank account. I have three days off here so I can relax a bit although I'm stuck here in Iraq. I'm thinking of going to Egypt to see the pyramids over break but it will not be a rip roarin time like other places would be. It would end up being very interesting though. The problem is security. there have been terrorist attacks there and I could get killed somehow. I still want to go.
The past three days at the jss were uneventful. We fired the 120mm mortar once, a total of four rounds, at a tree. there were some shots fired at the bravos on the roof and a bit of an uproar but nothing really happened. The Iraqi army opened fire on a village one day and the Iraqi police jumped out to "defend" the village because they lived there. The day before the IP's opened fire on a bus and shot some guy in the shoulder. He was brought back to the JSS to be treated and no reason was given for why they fired at the bus. I'll probably miss the chess tournament next week because we'll be on shift out there. We have to change the location of our bunks for some reason. But then again they will probably move us up north at some point.
