I am currently deployed to Northern Iraq with my unit. I will be here from May 2006 - May 2007. My unit flies Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and it is my job to order parts for them. This is my second OIF deployment; the first was in 2003. I am 24 years old and originally from Long Island, New York.

Blah

I have been pretty busy, which isn't a bad thing. It is definitely making the time go by faster. The only thing I don't like is sitting on Guard Duty for 4-5 hours a day. They are building us a new hangar for our airplanes - I'll take a picture of the progress tomorrow while I am out there, guarding the builders. It's just a temporary structure, a big open bay with no offices. That means I will be working out of a trailer next to it, which is fine with me. I bet it will have heat!

It's almost time to start decorating for Christmas! When I first came out here in May, I brought a stocking and a stuffed animal bear that holds candy canes with me. I don't want to go overboard, maybe just a wreath on my office door. A few people have tiny Christmas trees in their offices. The last time we were here, I shared with office with my Platoon Sergeant, who insisted on putting up a tree, stringing lights everywhere, and playing Christmas music 24/7. Good times :)
