13 Dec

Wednesday was another day filled with coordination between logistics and contractors. We have several "repair" walk-thru inspections that needed to be schedule so that we can wrap up some of the building projects. Additionally, we had to move, count, and restock some other items to ensure we are on-track for the 1st of the year. Tomorrow will be a busy day as we conduct our first walk-thru. Oh and speaking of soccer - myself and another Marine had the opportunity to play soccer with some of the members from the Iraqi Army. In order to remain safe we wore our helmets and flack jackets; needless to say grass is not abundent here so we end playing on the dry dirt - kind of like cement. I was having a tough time playing in my running shoes but since half of the Iraqi's were playing with their bare feet I felt it was best to count my blessing and keep my mouth shut. We let them win 4 to 2...hopefully they will envite us back. I was just kidding about wearing our helmet and flack to play soccer - its not that dangerous here...knock on wood. Catch ya later
