The storm before the storm

Extremely windy today, dirt is flying all over the place and visibility is limited due to all the sand. The days seem to be going by pretty fast, just moving from one thing to another, one task to the next. I am just barely getting over my uncontrolled bowel movements, and some of the medicine that the doctor has given me seems to be working, just need to replenish on fluids. Seems like everybody has the same problem at least once during the deployment. The main culprit is the local Iraqi food which we are offered from time to time... think I will stay away from it for a while.

Had another RPG attack the other day, and once again, 3rd platoon was there at the scene. We were barely walking out of the gate when the explosion happened, ran toward the explosion, and tried to track down the shooter. Another miss at the Bradley... a little closer, but no cigar.

In completely unrelated news, I started and am in the process of finishing my taxes today, so refund will be on the way!
