Kuwait pics

Kuwait...the land time forgot. Why, I ask, would anyone voluntarily live here?
Anyways...at least it's a dry heat!

Tent city for soldiers/units transitioning into Iraq.

At least the military has made some water company very, very wealthy. Pallets like these are all over the place. There's nothing quite as refreshing on a hot day as grabbing a nice...hot as bath water...bottle of water!

The lay-out! Pretty much b/c that's all we did...lay out on our bunks.

Ah yes...the range. Stupid as it was. However it did give us the opportunity to have to sign one more roster before we moved into Iraq. Ugh!

And what happens when soldiers are bored? In other units, soldiers get into mischief or the males and females start sleeping with each other. Not us...we got females who defended their crapper!
And they say it's just a dry heat!!

The trudge up to the C17. Kind of like a huge Air Force mouth getting ready to gobble up all these Army soldiers just so it can poop them out in Baghdad.
At least that's what it feels like looking back on this!


My God! Are my cheeks really that big? I look like the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz! Thanks for telling me everyone!!
Seriously...genuine smile b/c we're getting this show on the road.


See...regular coach class seats. Thumbs up to sardines.

Oh, and this is the Rhino Runner! No, I didn't take this picture (it's illegal to take the Rhino's picture, or so says security). This came from a news site which was covering the Saddam execution. And what did they have? A whole slew of Rhino Pictures. Here's the link, just so I don't get in trouble (http://www.gizmag.com/go/4178/gallery/). Not very secret is it? But it is the second safest way to travel in Iraq...short of flying!
