Fallujah

I have been in Camp Fallujah less than a week. Marines run the place and they run it on the basics. There are not many of the luxuries that can be found on many other bases and to make things worse, the Marines have suffered much higher casualites in the last month here.

My shop is a tent with steel plates to drive the HumVees onto for repair, but otherwise the floor is dirt, sand, rocks. It is maybe 22 feet wide and maybe 45 feet deep. My supervisor has decided not to let me have Sundays off, but I am allowed to go to church for a few hours.

Other than that, I am having a great time!

I am still learning my way around and working on a way to upload pictures to the blog. For now, my time is up for posting. More later.
