Another Planet

Hello, Hello,

The dust kicked up big time today. We were in Ramadi at a meeting when the sky started turning orange. It does this every once in a while. It's like those movies that have people living and working on Mars. Really feels like another planet sometimes. Good news is typically this means the temp drops a few degrees. It's pretty much been 100+ this week, but today must have dropped down into the eighties.

Ya, the excitement is picking up here a bit with the Brigade leaving and more pressure being put on the bad guys in other parts of the country. Path of least resistance. I believe the Provincial team next door will be standing down for the weekend, however, I don't believe that will be the case for us. Everyone is definitely paying more attention to movements and security. We have fresh Marines watching over us, so don't believe they will let us down.

Glad to here everyone is doing good. So am I. I've got more things to read than I will ever get around to and have movies stacking up as well. Nights have been getting later since the new Team Leader arrived (just trying to get him up to speed). Plus I have three new team members to train in, so the work goes on...
