Long Days in Iraq

Kenny called Mom this evening around 10pm. He said the weather was better now only 95 to 100 degrees now. Last week it was 120 to 130. They are working 12 hour days still getting their gear unpacked and trying to swap out with the unit they are replacing. He said everything is crowded with 2 units on base but it should be better in a few days as the other unit leaves. His day right now consists of getting up early to try to get to a phone, eating breakfast, working 12 hrs and going to sleep, repeat. He said he hopes things settle down once they get unpacked and set up. He ran out of minutes on the phone card and had to hang up. He did say as soon as he got an email connection he would email a mailing address. Right now, Gatorade packets and AT&T phone cards are all he needs. He will let me know more later.
