So, I am still taking the inventory for HHC. Thus far, I have completed JSS Sadr City, traveled to Camp Taji and inventoried everything there and now I am at JSS Ur. "Ur" the name of the area as well as the base itself, is also going to be my future home in February when I take over a platoon here. Since I was here for a couple of extra days, the commander decided to put me on a mission. This past morning, I commanded a Bradely fighting vehicle, which was a pretty cool experience for my first time doing a real mission. We were only part of the extraction part of the operation (meaning we picked up some guys finishing a door to door search and also provided the firepower necessary if something went wrong), but the maneuvering was fun. It was a simple task, but I finally got my feet wet. Very unerving moving around at night in such a huge vehicle, but the crew was experienced which din't make it too bad. You feel pretty badass moving around in that hunk of steel.
Tommorrow, I'm headed back to Taji where I will then head to "Old Mod" which is the second to last destination on my travels so far.
Tchuss!
