So, Operation Steel Curtain kicked off today. It was eventful and busy, but nothing my Marines couldn’t handle. We helped find insurgents, blow up over 10 buildings, and kill bad guys. I sat in on the mission for a while this morning and it was great; I definitely got fired up. J Overall, the work day was good. I enjoy working with Dave, Cornejo, and Daniels and Koopman a lot. I feel like everyone respects me, but we have a good time.
I did a puny workout today in the very meager gym here, met my new roommate (a CH-46 pilot, female, Captain, very cool, but works the night shift), and dealt with a horrible all-day dust storm. The sandstorm was the worst I’ve ever seen. Everything is just covered with silt and I feel like my eyes, throat, and lungs are, as well. I barely slept at all last night, so I am run down, but will truck along. I can’t imagine how the guys out in the field feel.I do not like Patrick “that way.” He has some very redeeming qualities, but I don’t see me with him long-term and it’s so not worth any fling anyway because of work. I heard from Alex today via email; it’s been over a month since he last wrote. He sent me some pics; he is hot. J I also got an affectionate email from Chris. He got jets, by the way. He still makes romantic overtures, but I dunno, ya know.
