Sorry about the delay in posting. We are in Kuwait and I have to be careful about discussing our movements. One thing I am at liberty to discuss is the chow. We have eggs to order in the morning, and lobster at night. Yes, you read that right. There is lobster in army dining facilities in Kuwait.

Lobster.

The food that usually scares me away due to the forbidding “market price” cost on most menus is being fed to American Soldiers in the Middle East. I don’t know if General Patton is incredibly proud or spinning in his grave. Either way, you will not hear any complaining from me about the chow. The living conditions are tough, but are temporary. We packed into tents, about 70 of us in each one. Although privacy is non existent, there are some good points, namely the gym.

I am proposing that they change the name of Kuwait to “you-wait” since that’s pretty much our plan for the coming days.

Although there has been some violence in Iraq recently, here is some good news : http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ik_Fiq2l77tFUTDx6GeXMo6d2UdQD97N0D080
