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.

Siccccckkkk

I am getting over an illness that lasted about 3 days. Some guy I had Guard Duty with last week gave it to me, I think. They let me leave work a few hours early yesterday, which was pretty nice. Tuesday was my day off and I couldn't even get out of bed to walk to the DFAC. I only get sick about once a year and, when I do, I am the biggest baby around. But I am feeling much better now!

There is a new batch of Air Force females living in our barracks and they are OUT OF CONTROL. The hallway and bathrooms are nasty, there is NEVER any hot water because they each take 30 minute showers, and one was caught sneaking around in my room the other day. She said she was "looking for a bed"....they are assigned rooms when they first get here and ours was NOT it (they don't mix the Army with the Air Force for a few different reasons).

My roommate is getting promoted to Sergeant next week. She wants me to pin her rank on her in the ceremony (well, I guess it's not really pinning anymore, because we have velcro with the new Army uniforms)...I will post some pictures if I can get my hands on some! I should be getting some accolades myself that day for getting that 2nd place in the Noncommissioned Officer of the Quarter Board last month. I will be very interested to see if the unit actually lets me take the 3-day pass that is one of my prizes.

Congratulations on placing 2nd. I'm so sorry to hear you've been sick. We've had only mild stuff so far (crossing my fingers so hard the circulation is being cut off!).

Where can you go with a 3-day pass?

Hopefully you are ok! I have been checking constantly to see if you updated. Did you just get bored?
