Made it to Salerno

Finally arrived! Never thought I would get here. Our flight from Baghram was delayed due to an early morning rocket attack. I can hear automatic gun fire throughout the day. They seem to become more frequent in the summer months. I can finally unpack my stuff! Living quarters are good. I share a building with 4 other guys, but have a section of my own that I can lock up. I have already met most of my co-workers when I arrived. I feel very welcomed, and I am looking forward to getting started. If you look at the picture below, the mountain range in the background is Pakistan. I will make it a habit to flip off the taliban every morning. In spite of the rocket attacks, this is the best FOB to be on. The weather here is similar to Boise due to the location within the mountain ranges. Will send more pics as they come.
