17 Dec - Sunday

Another day another few dollars - almost too few if you ask me - but that topic is for another post. Only 8 days until Christmas - this is your last chance to get some sand...anyone...I can get you a good deal...just let me know.
Today I spent more time with members from the Iraqi Army (IA) working through the planning process for an upcoming event; the meeting went well. Following the meeting I helped the senior Iraqi logistic officer, a Captain, prepare the weekly staff brief to be given tomorrow. Although I am pretty savvy with Microsoft Power Point I had some difficulties working with PP in Arabic. For starters they read right to left.
?ti si...sdnuos ti sa ysae sa ton si tI
We managed to work through the language barrier and submitted the brief on time for translation into English. For evening meal I had the pleasure of joining the senior Iraqi officer for dinner. It was another good meal with plenty to eat.
Have a good week...I'll type ya later.
