My sleeping area55 viewsNote specific luxury items: DVD player, TV (with AFN Armed Forces Network; the bucket is for the leaking air conditioner), laptop (most people don't have one or didn't bring it, personal area light (with low vis red bulb), safe for valuables (very few people have one of these), red LED glow stick for power outage lighting, air conditioning (with remote on bed frame corner), 9mm (most people have to lug around a rifle), drawer storage box, Iridium satellite phone with 1,000 free minutes a month (one of maybe 3 on a base with a few thousand people on it, I think the other two are personally owned and paid for), Jordan Armed Forces RPG box used as a foot locker, my own rug, a string to pull my curtain shut, and of course an actual (creaky) bed. A lot of people are on cots in a tent like the other bed pictured in this album. This stuff is taken for granted, but most people especially here don't have these luxuries. Now I am gonna try and get internet.Joe

NINE Mosquito Bites!45 viewsYea this is driving me nuts. I don't know what kind of bites they are, but I suspect mosquitos since there is a lot of standing water due to the rain.

Sighting your weapon86 viewsTo sight your weapon you should take 5 shots at a time checking the target between volleys and marking with a black marker to indicate which firing set you just accomplished. I fired 20 shots into this target into a "300 meter target" which would be around 984.25 feet. Nice grouping, isn't it? Let me put it this way, someone could be standing three football fields away and I can take them out.

Sprained Ankle59 viewsOk, funny story about this. This is the same ankle that has been messed up before. I rolled it inwards on my hurried way down the stairs. I was advised to go to the ER after calling the on call doctor from base. I went and got an X-Ray. I had fun in the wheel chair. I got a foot brace, a nifty bag of ice, a 800mg Ibuprofen (Whooptie doo), and instructions to remain off my feet for two days. I let my boss know and since nobody was availiable, I opened the building at 4am this morning.Joe
