ohhh this prison cell that i call home




Well if you havent seen my pics that i have posted on my facebook, i live in a small prison cell, some say that it looks horible. The truth is that i am happy to have my prison cell, not only is it my own, but all my guys and everyone in the company have their own room! So if u havent ever lived a military life style you wouldnt really understand how nice it is. We are all gratefull for our 7x7 its home! and update on our status in iraq, we are at a little Jss called old mad, it is located right off the tigris river, and is now the best base i have ever been stationed at, not only is there no fire fights in this area, it has the most beautifull veiw u can ask for in iraq. It is calming to go to the roof and watch the life that is across the river, so far i have seen kayak's, we have seen row teams on the river, fishermen, and just kids going for a cold dip! we all love it and feel so blessed to have such a great home away from home. We arent really doing a whole lot just a lot of standing by and hanging out, which is why i made this blog hahaha. If you know me i am not one to write down updates on my life, but i figure this gives me somthing to do and it gives my family and friends a way to keep up with me, cause phone calls are scarce. sorry fam haha. well hope you all like the update!
