More pictures from my camera

Here is a photo of the T walls spray painted by some soldiers. It is ghetto living at it's finest. It has since been painted over. The Army is trying to be like Rudy Gulliani and fix the small crimes to prevent big crimes. Rudy did it in NY when he was mayor. It was funny to me so I took the picture. Whichever company is making these T walls is making a fortune. I dont know what they cost but there are thousands of them everywhere. I am happy they are there to keep any fragments from flying into our sleep areas and work areas. Makes me feel safer so I am all about that. It is in Spanish too. Speaking of which I am two lessons in on my Spanish. I will be able to order the best food in south Texas when I get back.

Here are some pictures of a typical sand storm here. I was walking to work 1 morning and looked back and saw this. I thought it was funny so I pulled out the camera. I swear if I get coal miner's lung or black lung disease I am going to know where I got it. Anyone know the Curahee rd significance? hint- Band of Brothers from HBO. See you came for entertainment and get a history lesson.


This is right in front of the dining facility or mess hall. Look at that sky. Who lives in this shit? I guess I do for the moment. I am watching Full Metal Jacket right now. Good view of Vietnam. "Hey G.I. you have girlfriend Vietnam?" " You know what pisses me off about these people? We try to help them and they shit all over us." <--these are lines from the movie. That last one is pretty close to true now too.

Back in the room and decided to take a picture of my refrigerator. It looks sad but remember all our meals are made in the dining facility so there is no need for me to have alot of food in the room. See the Mason jar? That is some home made hot sauce given to me by the Bacon family from SATX. It is so good. I plan to pour a little out for each meal and take it to the mess hall for my food. I will probably use a specimen cup from the hospital since it has to fit in my pocket.
