Kuwait

I received this email from Rob - he asked that I post it. He tried to post it but part of the Explorer window was in Arabic and he couldn't sign in. I guess instead of learning Spanish while he is over there, maybe he should take up Arabic.

It is Sunday at 1300. Finally got to sleep at midnight last night. It was a long ass flight. Plus we all had to unload 3000+ duffle bags drom the trucks. After that I Took some nyquil (I caught the Kuwait crud), put in my ear plugs and slept 9 hours. Tent city here. Very dusty and LOT;s of sand!! I feel like I am in a movie. Fighter planes and choppers coming and going all hours of the night. Of course our AC unit is broken so it is hotter than hell. Going from 20-30 degrees to the 70's screws you up. The threat level is high here. Everyone is on alert. It may take 4-5 days for me to catch a transport to my base in Afghanistan. So yhis will be my home for a few days. I am sending this email from an on base inyternet cafe. So I may not be able to reply. I miss you all. I am just looking froward to getting to my finall destination and starting work. Sorry for the mispelled words, the keys are worn down and my typing skill is as little lacking. Thats it for now

I was so tempted to correct his spelling errors but then thought better of it. Another request to keep him in your prayers.
