29 Dec

Well I think I earned my "vehicle off load" qualification today. We took delivery of several new vehicles today. Not a big deal right...try pushing a few 4x4 trucks off the back of a flat bed. Not only were the batteries dead on several of the vehicles but some were just about out of gas, not just on E but on the bottom of the E. I guess the American manufacture figured there was enough oil and gas in this part of the world that there was no reason to fill the tanks with fuel, at least the engines had oil in them. We also got 2 fire trucks...I may get to add fire chief to my resume by the time I leave Iraq. The way I see it, if I can handle flying a Ch-53E a fire truck should be no problem. Not much else happened today being that it was Friday and the end of the year is only two days away...enjoy the weekend.
