JSS Sadr City is the name of the place I am at right now, don't think I mentioned that before. JSS is Joint Security Station, which is basically a much smaller version of a FOB or Forward operating base.
Life in the FOB is very different from life in the JSS. The buildings we are in is a former elementary school, taking up a few blocks of real estate. There are not many people here and the rooms are limited, so every one is really close together in the JSS. There are 6 other people in my room in the size of a small sized bedroom, so there is not much privacy. There is not much to do as far as recreation goes either. We have a computer and phone room, with 10 computers and a few phones, which during many hours of the day are filled up. We also have a small gym, which just got flooded out the other day along with 80% of the ground outside from the quick downpour that came the other day... and thats about it. It is not too bad, but it is difficult to keep yourself busy in your free time.
Not much going on as of yet. Waiting to get officially promoted by the Colonel (but I am already getting paid as a 1LT). I'm hungry...
