patrol bases are ok, but there is something to be said for even the suckiest FOBs. :)
it doesn’t matter if its 100 degrees or if most of the folks ur with are terps, sitting ‘round a campfire is one of the basic “good” things
the weather channel says its 118, but I disagree, I know 118 and its hotter than that right now
still having fun in Southern Iraq - kind of glad our mission got scrubbed today, to hot to be out in body armor today. :)
I actually _saw_ Iran today.

Hey Minnesotans! I don’t have much sympathy for you when you complain about the “heat.” Let me know when it tops 110 there, k?
I #BlameDrewsCancer for how long it takes email to get to Iraq.
Just explained “Keelhauling” to my Air Force counterpart in Baghdad. Didn’t tell him we don’t do it anymore though. http://is.gd/1ad3C
I don’t know how keelhauling led to this, http://www.baghdadflyfishing.com/ , but it did.
