4 May - day one

With several hours of restful sleep under our belt we jumped in with both feet today. Several members of the squadron went outside the wire today as we prepare to assume our duty here in Iraq. Everything went well and the missions were successful, its always good to start-out on the right foot. The one thing I did notice is the sun rises at 0502 and as you can see from yesterdays picture the walls are not very think so once your eyes get a glimpse of the bright walls and your ears start hearing the movement of your 31 roommates’ there is no going back to sleep.
