Day 1 or 791
So this is the end of my first day deployed on my third year! Isn't it so exciting! NOT! Anyway I'm posting from a blackberry so it will have to be short. Today started sunday night when I sat in a small leather seat in the back of an omni air international dc-10 airplane with one guy on either side of me. We were packed like sardeans! Luckily we stopped in maine so I bought a travel pillow and some night quill. Fourteen long misserible hours later I landed in kuwait. Only three more times! I fly to go on leave then back and finally home again and glorius seperation from active military service. Anyway I went to a "welcome to kuwait" breif where they checked us in so we can start getting all the wonderful extra pays. Then we got the rest of the day to climatize (chill), I went to lunch, askedb for two enchiladas but the jerk would only give me one "only one sir" he said in a hinduish accent but on the good side I got two scopes of chocolate basken robbins icecream! After lunch I spent the day working on my final paper for a college class. Dinner was discussting! Some sort of gross pasta mixed with bad tuna and old cream od mushroom soup! At least I was able to call Jane, but it turns out that this blackberry get a better connection than the at-n-t phone both. The only problem is I can get unlimited international internet but phone calls are two bucks a minute so I was stuck using a crapy land line go figure wireless has surpassed landlines in every way now. Hearing her voice was good for my heart though. She is driving back to idaho with her dad so they decided to take a short break and see DC. They were having fun! After the call I watched a movie and now I'm blogging. That is day one in a nutshell. Goodnight and hope you all don't have to slep on a hard uncomfortable green nylon cot like I do.
