Moving Soon

Hi Everybody,
Wanted to let you guys know that I'll be moving north very soon, and we're not sure what kind of facilities they'll have there. For the first couple of days we should be ok, as we'll be at an Air Base before we head to our soon-to-be-home. The only problem with us moving is that they're not sure how they're going to fit that many Soldiers on our FOB. Its only designed for a battalion (about 1,000 Soldiers), but my battalion is taking over for the one there...1+1=2,000 troops. Things are gonna be cramped for a little bit.
Was medical coverage for our last range today. Some of the Bradley's still hadn't zero'd their big guns, and had to do that before we could leave. I got to experience our first sand storm. Its not as much fun as one would think. It wasn't nearly as bad as the ones they have up north, as we could still see about 100 meters the whole time. It probably wouldn't have been so bad, except the Humvee I was in, had a broken door...the one I was sitting next to. Instead of latching, they had to bungee cord the thing closed. "A" for effort...but the result was somewhat less than perfect. Oh well...just another story in an already growing list.
I'll email again as soon as I get the opportunity.
Thanks for the emails from back home!

Love you g
