My Crib in Iraq

The Bad News is that I haven't had time to write a whole lot, but the Good news is that I'm going to try to download a bunch of pictures... Here are pics of where I live and work...

First is the walk I have to take from my CHU to the bathroom trailers. One on the far left is the Men's Latrine and the trailer on the right, the showers. You do not want to be caught mid-shower when the power goes out! I have so far been lucky several times...





You can see a homemade 'porch' that was in front of my CHU. It is no longer there...






Each area of 20 or so CHUs are placed together in a 'Pad'














Pictures from inside my CHU: not much going on there. I have a bed, my computer which costs $130 a month for slow internet that can't upload pictures, videos or tv shows, and one little three drawer thing I bought for underware and socks. Oh yeah, I bought the rug, Army chair and blankets down here as well. The wires coming inside are for television satelite and internet that I don't have or does not work. The wireless is wireless and it's weak.






My M4




Here are a couple pictures of my work space which is very cramped.
