My first task

So, I finally was given my first task at HHC: I am doing the 100% inventory of all the sensitive items (valuable equipment) within this company, which is composed of about 300 people, a crap load of vehicles, weapons, etc. Not exactly what I pictured myself doing in Iraq, but it is keeping me occupied for the next couple of weeks. All of the equipment is spread throughout the Brigade sector... so I will have to go to 2-3 bases in the Baghdad area to account for everything.

It is very tedious work, but someone has to do it each month apparently, and since I was the new guy, it was thrown on me. It will definitely kill some time before I get a platoon.

Not much going on in the area... a car bomb exploded a few miles down the road, one of our vehicles were blown up but no one was killed, and I think I suicide bomber tried to blow himself up at one of our checkpoints, but there was only one fatility... the bomber, haha.
