update: I'm currently located in Iraq now at Camp Victory north. We are currently living really close to the danger zone on camp. There are mortar attacks pretty much every night and the answer of U.S. troops small arms fire. I do, however, feel very safe and well trained. The mortars got really really close last night. It shook my trailer. From the hearsay of the other troops, those who attack the camp don't live very long. We played our first gig at the Airport today. Actually that is where I am right now. I had to use the computers here, because the internet at Camp Victory suxOr!! Hopefully it will improve soon, the Camp is still relatively new and MWR isn't well established yet. Our living quarters are nicer than the barracks on post back home!!! We live in 2 person rooms in small 6 person trailers built by Brown and Root (brand new!!!). At any rate, my frequency of posts on my page will be decreased for a bit until internet improves on Camp Victory, but I will post as often as I can. much love to all of you!
