Kuwait it is...for now.

So we got to Kuwait. Had a little lay over in Germany for about an hour and a half and then made it in on what I think was the 15th of October. Most of the trip became a blur of sleep, wake up and be fed some sort of meal, begin watching movie, sleep, wake up to another meal...

Can I just say that jet lag sucks? Cause wow. Me, my platoon...we sleep. Lots. I'm blaming it on the jet lag. It could be the incredible heat. I'm not sure. But I like to think we can handle the heat and it's just still the jet lag.

So far for us, though, we've been doing a bit of training and generally trying to bide our time well before we make our push north into Baghdad. I can't really give that time line for obvious reasons, but it'll be soon enough and hopefully not too soon.

We're acclimating well to our new Company as we were sliced into Delta (I was in Alpha) as the Battalion did a bit of rearranging. Our CO and 1SG are pretty good guys and seem to be decent to work for. If nothing else, the CO tries to give us as much information as we can possible handle.

I know this is a bit discombulated. Sorry about that. Tired on this end after a bit of a late night and around 2hrs of sleep. Sensitive items conex showed up and we had to unload and distribute that stuff.

I'll keep posted on anything else...but as is we just have some more training ranges coming up, nothing too exciting.

Till then...

Good to hear how things are going for you. The time difference has got to be hard much less the lack of sleep. Krisy updated us also last night. Be safe.

Love you and miss you,
