Actualy there is new news from My Life In Iraq

News In Iraq
Well as the whole world all ready knows that I am in the god forsaken country of Iraq. It is ok, but it is too damn hot here. Noting can cool you off even the best of ice warter. The sun is hell and there is no way around it. But if it was 40' cooler each day, I could live here for the rest of my life. But that is just me. You really should see the sunsets. I will be getting some pics of them to post here shortly and some pics of where I live. On the most part it is all not that bad here. But I am ready to go back to Germany and have a whole lot of fun. The new news in Iraq. At the place where I am. We are getting hit by Mortars. Lots of them too. In the last three days I think we have been hit by at least 60 Mortars. Some close where I sleep. I can feel our building shake.
I finally got my PFC. Cool, and our Lt. Col. asked me when I was getting my Specialist. Hmmm... Fun?
Ok now to tell you about the charter on my team. Freddy, a nut with the wits of an ancient dragon. He is cool but sometimes I would like to shoot him. Naa just kidding. He is really big into EQ and if you don't know what that is that is Ever Quest. I will post his pic with his char and his girls char Wood, another dumb ass on the team. No he is cool. Just sometimes he gets down, but dont we all out here. I mean it really hard to be away from your loved ones all the time. He is cool but needs to chill out. Love him like a brother. Todd, the only female on the team. She is nice but bossy and you can't say no to her. She does not let anything stop her from what she wants to do. But that is strong personality trait. And SGT. Nation, our team chief works hard and want us to work hard too. Good man and is strong willed. Funny and I look up to him. Even for being and old fart. I have learned a lot from him and I want to learn more. That is all for now.
News about home

My son is walking now. He is getting really big and I have not seen him since Christmas. But that is going to change. I love my son and I can't wait till I get to hold his little three foot butt again. He is only 17months and he is huge. Not fat but tall and lanky just like me. Everyone says he looks just like me and by all means that is scary. Another one of me running around only make me upset.
I hear my son is doing very well now. He is talking, thats good. And I am missing him more and more everyday. He starting day care. it is about time that his mother put him in day care so he can play with the other children. Thats all that is new about my son.
Last time I talked to my two brothers and my sister everything seemed ok. They are healthy and doing well. Travor, my second oldest brother, is station at Fort Hood TX. He says he likes it there and I am going to try to see him when I get out of this country. Jay is home with his beautiful wife and his son having the time of his life. Michelle is with my mother getting spoiled and stuff but thats ok. I love all them and miss them dearly.
Ok Beth... Pretty much my stepsister. Love her to death. Miss her too. We used to have so much fun beating the crap out of each other. With lightsabers or what not.She is smart and free willed just like her father. Now that is scary. I can't wait to see her again so I can beat her up. Actualy she can beat me up now.
Ok my mother is doing fine. She just got back from a vacaton and she loved it. I miss her too and she has helped me get through this country. I don't know if i could have made it out here but I got to hear her voice. And Chris, the man who stole my 69 Charger. I will take it back when I got to visit him in Ohio.
My mother... hmmm.... what to say what to say... She is much like me at times too. Procrastinates.... maybe that is where I get it from?? No matter. I still love her.
