I am now a "marksman" at the M16 and the 9mm. I am now able to wear both service ribbons. I am a lousy shot with the M16, but a "killer" with the 9mm. Hehe!
I also got to escort some third country nationals onto the camp. Almost all the employees here are either, Indian, Philipino or Pakistan. Kuwaities are pretty wealthy and don't work any hard jobs. It makes me wonder who is serving in their military.
Tonight, I had crablegs, pizza, baskin robbins, and corn on the cob. The food here is the best! I can't complain, especially since it is free. There is also a laundry service that washes your clothes for free too. I plan on taking advantage of that as soon as I can. Today has been a pretty good day so far.
The living conditions aren't that great. There is 14 of us (E-5s and E-6s) sharing a tent. It is dusty and the air conditioner runs all day. When the lights go out, it is pitch dark and when i use my flash light, it lights up the entire tent... hehe. I have one of those bright LED flashlights, it works a little too well. The Army makes us use the "battle buddy" system and we have to wake someone up in the middle of the night so we can walk to the porta-johns. The showers are almost a quarter mile away. It sucks because when I walk back to my tent, I am dusty and sandy again.
Also, if anyone would like to send me or the people of EMF Kuwait a letter or mail, let me know so I can forward the mailing address. Other than that, I'm going to take a nap after this exhausting day.
