In order to stay the best fighting force in the world, we need to keep up with our training. Even in Iraq, we have to go to the weapons range.

Chow Time
When our stomachs start to grumble we head over to the Dining Facility. Some people call it a Mess Hall or Chow Hall.
It's not mom's home cooking but it will do.
If we can't make it out to the dining facility because too much is going on with the mission, our friends will take care of us by bring us our food. It's all about watching out for one another over here.

Iraqi School Kids
What a treat we got today when we got to go with SFC Albrecht and his team to the local school here. The kids we saw today are different the kids we normally visit. The Bedouin children don't attend school. It was interesting to see the differences.
This was also a very special visit because we were doing it in honor of SFC A's friend who died during his last deployment. Mrs. Herlem, (a very good friend of SFC A and his family) sent school items in honor of SGT Jose Gomez as part of the Fallen Stars Memorial. Her husband Bryant was killed the same day that Jose was, so we were able to honor both of them and two children who died that day as well. It's important for us to remember those who have paid the price to bring hope not only to America but the children in Iraq too.

Soccer Balls and Camels
Today we got to go out and hand out soccer balls to the local kids. The kids here LOVE to play soccer and this is their biggest request when the Soldiers go visit them. It was nice to see how happy they got when we were able to deliver something they really wanted. Their happiness is very sweet, I think we might get a little taste of what Santa feels like when he delivers toys to all the children in the world.
Oh, we also got up close to some camels, that was a little weird. We were nervous but I think the camels were nervous too, the first one ran away from us.
