I had the greatest thing ever at the sorriest DFAC in existance. It was a raspberry sorbet popcycle thing. Great googly moogly was it ever good. Sure made the 1/4 mile walk in 100 degree sandy heat worth it.

So, it’s been a while - almost two months - since I last updated the site. I’ve been quite negligent in my OMD updating duties. My apologies to all.

Let’s see, what’s happened since I last update everyone on all things OMD?

For starters, I’ve been working hard. The last several weeks have been a blur. They’ve gone so fast, in fact, that I’ve only just now submitted for my R&R. It’s a shame really - usually I have these sorts of things already lined out - being the good scheduler I am.

They changed the job I was supposed to go to en route to my assignment. Instead of heading towards Kandahar I wound up being diverted to Bagram to work on the transition team. It’s been busy and it’s been fun - so I can’t complain.

As you might have gathered from what I said R&R is quickly approaching. Just over three weeks away. I found a guy to do my Aussie taxes so I’m headed home. I can’t wait.

So, our camp is pretty sparse right now. For those who have seen my pictures, think Iraq early 2004. We have a mediocre DFAC nearby but when we get a vehicle we’ll hit the better one about two klicks away.

Still, if they continue to have those raspberry sorbet things at the crappy DFAC then maybe I’ll just walk.
