11 May

With the recent rotation of the old and new blood I was left in charge as the two new senior officers departed the area for a couple days of required training at the head quarters. The day was uneventful as myself and the Iraqi staff began preparing for the departure of some of the visiting soldiers. Ah...it's good to be king - even if it is only for 40 hours. Time for a nap - yea right. The phone was ringing off the hook all day - that will teach me to stay in the office. I hope your day was not as frantic as mine - have a good day.
