Armpit of the world....Al Asad, Iraq
I'm back from Kansas City. That place sucks!
Training was slow, unproductive and a total waste of time IMO.
Sometimes I think that all of these seminars and training classes they have are only for the old salt dogs to get together, bitch and drink beer. I missed my family, I missed my unit.
Now I'm back in California, getting ready to go to Hawaii for 5 days to unwind with the family before I head back to Iraq.
My ship date is set for March 26. I'll be out there until June.
I did get some good news, however, while in Kansas City. I found out that I'll be getting stationed in Hawaii come Aug 4th!
My wife is from there, so it'll be good to bring her home for a few years. I don't think I'll mind living in paradise for a while!
My only fear is shipping my cigars out there. How does one transport 400 cigars SAFELY? I though about a big cooler with some humi packs in it. Over night it the day before I fly out.
