Today I recieved my briefing on Iraq before my 3 month detachment to Basrah. After hearing what i heard today, that place is definately off my holiday destination list. There are more nasty insects, spiders and snakes than I know what to do with. Looks like i'll have to keep my eyes well and truly open!
Tomorrow I have to go into the field and play soldiers for a couple of days. Sometimes fun, I get to run around like I did as a kid but don't have to make pretend gun noises, peeow peeow!
One good thing about going to Iraq is there is nothing to spend my money on, so I will be able to afford my next tattoo when I get back in December. now i've just got to choose which one to do first.
