It just got hotter here...

[von Krieg]

Well, I know most of you have forgotten me after such a long sabbatical from the club, especially Ed the Grumbler. How you doing buddy? I hope all is well with you.

Hey guys, it's been a heck of a run for the past 10 months... We just moved from the "end of the line" looking for baddies to what seems to me "the big city". It's not really, but after being at literally the end of the line in Iraq, I've moved to a much more robust and hotter location a little closer to our Persian neighbors. Of course, it seems like a little ant hill of activity compared to our windswept barren hovels of only a few days ago...

Life is good, they actually have something called the "internet" here... I'll have to check out this new fangled gadget...

Take care... I'll try to check in a few times this week... busy though... we're learning resource management as we just jumped and need a lot of work to get back in fighting trim...

that alarm clock goes off way early... and it's a sad fact when you kid yourself that 102 is a cool day...

Jim "von Krieg" of Iraq... thinking of putting in for my Gensiyah (Iraqi identity papers) as I've been here so long over the last four years...
