it's so sad that we've been here 5 years now and not only does it seem like we don't make much progress in the country, we can't even seem to figure out some basic logistics like our f'd up laundry service or our even worse internet! i've been trying to get on to the internet cafe for the past couple of weeks and it's been so incredibly slow i haven't been able to even log on to my blog :(. it's often worse than dial-up. unreal.
anyway, august did go by fairly slowly, but we did have a one of our birds go down (i'm still working on the mishap report...ugh!) and so it was a fairly busy month. thankfully, september is here now and there's just over a month to go. i'm about to work on our post deployment health assessments (we have a pre, post, and post reassessment...completely retarded and designed to eke out ptsd and other psych issues but have not proven to be valuable at all thus far).
at this point, i simply can not wait to get home. it's so close we can almost taste it. the big issue is trying to remain focused on the job at hand which is getting more and more difficult to do. unfortunately, makes my job harder as the marines get more and more reckless....but whatevers...we're going home soon :).
mrs. skinnee, thanks for all your postings! it's great reading them and i'll be seeing you soon! to, jes, just had a couple of bdays. hope you guys had good ones.
and finally, a couple more pics from the vector control trip. one of the russian migs saddam buried that i was telling you about last time. many are still unearthed...here's one that was partially dug up.

You are welcome Huy! I know it gets rough towards the end. Just hang in there and you will be back in BFE, NC before you know it! All the country folk told me they miss you down there. :P
When you get back and settle in, we will have you up in Norfolk for many many beers!
Jen
