Chillen in Iraq

Hey everyone, Its been a little while since i have posted on my blog. Well I am at FOB Falcon now and have been here since ab the 28th of May. My platoon got attached to Delta company 1/252 for ab 30 days. We are pretty much doing the same missions as before in MMD, just in a different sector. So far Falcon isnt too bad, our living arrangements are alot nicer up here. We live in barracks here and currently have my own room. Compared to living in a tent with 3 other E-6s at MMD. It is getting hotter here as we start to get into the summer months. The temp is spiking at over 130 degrees at the hottest part of the day and getting down to ab 90-100 at night. So not much cooler in the evenings. Since being here at Falcon and doing missions here I have gotten to experience a little bit of the culture here and actually meeting some of the local children aswell. They are just like kids in the states, they play and have fun, but are just less fortunate here. Some of them are soo poor that they dont even have shoes or sandels. Well I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and hope yall have a good week. I miss yall very much and love yall bunches. GOD BLESS!!!
