I've been in Kuwait/Iraq for a little over three months now. So if all goes well, I've got less than 9 months left here. The CPT has been put in command of some Personnell Support people at another camp, so he'll be spending most of his time at the other place (yay!). He just left to be gone for about three weeks. I've heard that he's going to be doing 20 days there and 10 here. He really has no reason to be here now that we have SFC Jackson, but I think he likes having his own decent size room and plus FOB Danger just looks prettier than most other places in Iraq. There was a morter attack today that hurt a few people, but no one was killed. They closed the DFAC for lunch because of it, but since I ate early I still got to eat.

Wow. Two weeks passed. Life is very repeatitive here. I got a few letters from people from the ATTN: Any Soldier thing, but haven't gotten any boxes of goodies yet. Um. Bushong moved here from Speicher. The rest of the unit is at Warhorse. And SFC Jackson is here too. I'm in a different room now, but seeing as how my camera has been stolen, I'll be unable to take pictures with my own camera. But I can always borrow Bushong's. Though mine was better.

Not much new. I guess I'm a day early for posting once per week, but it's my day off. Or it was supposed to be. I spent most of the day watching the contractors paint parts of the house, since we have to have a guard for them at all times. They are supposed to be working almost every day for a month, I believe. Just about everyone from 1st ID have left back to Germany, so the lines at the post office have been, well, there usually aren't lines any more. I signed up for a few things like treats for troops, operation graditude, and ATTN: Any Soldier. Getting stuff from people I don't know for free sounded like fun, so I thought I'd try it out. I also had to go pick up mail from all the mail boxes around camp. Five in total. Most didn't have much mail.

Kellogg and I will probably be guards for the contractors most days, but I guess that gives us a break from the PO. Pretty easy. Just sit and watch them work and keep a loaded magazine in the weapon.

Ugh. I think I'm going to eat at Subway tonight. I don't feel like going to the DFAC.

Happy St. Valentine's Day
(I love you, Ally!)

I finally got the package my parents sent on the 2nd of Feb today. 12 days. I guess it's not terribly bad. So now I have a holster for my M9 so it is on my leg. I also got ATHF season III and a couple of games for my computer. Alas, today is over...and gmail hates me. Or, segovia hates gmail. One or the other, but I can almost never get to the webpage these days. Though I can download messages though POP, but half the time it forgets it has already downloaded the last batch, so I have to let it download all the ones I saw yesterday and sometimes the day before before it gets to the new ones. And that takes...a...while. At least its free and megatokyo loads relatively well.

The first week of Feb is already over. At least for me it is. For the most part. All I do (almost) is inspect people's packages all day long. But I guess it's not that terribly bad. I could be working 12 hour shifts like my counterparts in speicher. But still. I don't like looking though people's stuff mostly because they don't like me looking through their stuff. It's time consuming and when I find things people can't send, about half of them try to tell me they could send it before or that it is allowable. It's just annoying. So far I haven't found any pornography or anything, but my commander found about 6 magazines in one person's box. We confiscate stuff of the sort because it is against general order number one to possess material containing nudity (but I guess R movies are ok? I don't know)

Hey, have you guys been having trouble getting to the Photos section. I have had repeated troubles getting there. If I can I would like to upload some pics I got from here. Its pretty awesome looking here. It used to be one of Saddam's old palace compounds. I live in what looks like it was once someone's house. Right now the poeple we are replacing are still here so It is a little crowded but when they all leave we'll have the Captain in a room by himself, SFC Jackson with her own room. Kellogg and I with a room together and SGT Martinez and SGT Aponte together. Each room has a TV and a fridge, and we have a living room with one couch and two nice chairs. We have AFN TV network in the living room, but in the bedrooms its just DVD if you have a player. There's no internet in the post office yet, but hopefully we can get that to change before the end of the year. There is a free internet place not too far from where I live. The PX and a Subway are pretty much in my front yard, and the Post Office is right next door. We'll I'd better get to emailing before I run out of time!

I've finally made it to Iraq, but my trek isn't over yet. I'm just on a little stop in the middle here in Camp Speicher. Final destination: Camp Liberty (formerly Camp Danger), Tikrit. I make the flight via helicoptor within the week or less. Well, too much time emailing. Time's up, up, up.

Hey Joey, I guess I don't really need my own folder in the Photo Gallery. I could just use user section and be like a normal person. That way I can even sort tinhs into folders so that people would know what exactly they are looking at. This "Allen's Own" thing has fallen to the list of things I used to have for all my own, such as "Allen Speaks" and what-not.

I have about 16 Hp LaserJet 5Si Mx printers with toner in good shape. Most around 100,000 prints. They have network cards and toner. Toner get around 18,000 prints Let me know if you want one. Just tell me whats a fair price is and I will most likely give it to you for that price. If you want more details about them just ask me and I will email you the specs.

Joey. Your freaking posts screwed up the sizing of the Jibber Jabber. I'm trying to fix it from my end, but it's kind of hard, seeing how I don't have any passwords But I think I just did it by just being Mr. Awesome. you're welcome.

Allen. Your freaking URL screwed up the sizing on my webpage. I'm trying to fix it from my end, but it's kind of hard. But I think I just did it by making you (and Conrad's) URL's into links.
you're welcome.
