Lucy, I'm Hoooooome!!
Well everyone, I finally made it, my new base for the next 9 months. The name of the place is Qayyarah West, or Q-West, and it is a FOB (Forward Operating Base) a little south of Mosul. At first I thought they said Key West and I was trying to get some Hawaiian shirts sent from home! I have my own room (it's a trailer but it works for me) and a place to actually work. I am working for the 45th Sustainment Brigade and it looks like a very good job. I even get my own HMMWV to drive around on base. That's on base only for those of you that are worry warts. Here are a few pictures of my current abode:

Sorry, that picture is sideways. I also have a picture of my mode of transportation, other than my feet:

I took some pictures of the Perfume Palace (or so I heard it was called) in Baghdad:

I hope you like those. Well that is all I have for now. Still finishing turnover and getting ready to get to work. Take care and check back soon.
But last but not least, here is the crest of my current unit. They gave me a coin at the welcome party they had for new personnel the other day.
