A Little Fun

The platoon got together today for some recreation time. We played volleyball and basketball. We had thrown some money together to try and buy some pizzas but the power went out….so no pizza. You would think we were in a combat zone or something….sheesh. Warehouse volleyball is a little different because you have to play off of the walls and ceiling. It was kind of like that scene in Top Gun...except everyone kept thier shirts on.....and we were inside....and none of us are Scientologists. It was pretty fun. Anything that breaks up the routine helps time go by faster and that is always good.

It is just starting to get hot here. I noticed this morning that I was sweating and the back of my neck was hot. I am not looking forward to it being sweltering hot with all this dust in the air. The hottest I’ve ever been was in Djibouti. There was a lot of humidity there so I’m hoping that the desert dry heat will be a cakewalk…..hopefully.

No pictures of me this time. Everyone is tired of me asking them to take a picture of me. So I took the picture this time.
