No Fires Here!!

All is well here. Busy this week doing exercises like we will do in Iraq, patrolling, searching houses, clearing rooms, etc. We have a town here built as an Iraqi town we are training in. The fires are pretty far west of us, but tonight there is a beautiful red sunset. All from the fires I presume. I will have some time this weekend to give a better update. We are running 12 hour shifts right now and soon to go out again. A great bunch of guys here!!

Just Checking In

Hello all!! I know it has been a long time since I have updated. Working long days and six days a week. It is a huge adjustment from my firehouse work schedule. So not much time to get on the computer and email and all that. Things are good. A lot of good training going on. Been firing a bunch of weapons, been trained on night vision, patrolling and basic Marine Corps operating procedures. All is well though and will give a full update as soon as I get some time. The corpsman will be heading to Camp Pendleton in the middle of November for Combat Trauma Course. I am looking foward to that. And it will be a break from our field days. Have had my share of MRE's already and sand. What the hell? I guess this is a good place to train to get us used to what Iraq will be like. Anyway, I must move on to our next training event.
