Kuwait!
I finally am here in Kuait, and I will say it is VERY overratted! I am at Camp Doha, and all I heard was that it was good, but I think the fact they are closing this down soon, and the fact that most of the people here are only here to process up north to Iraq!
Oh, speaking of Iraq, that is where I am headed for this deployment, which is a stark contrast to where I was supposed to be in Kuwait! But what are you gonna do!
I could be tough and say that I don't mind it, but I'm an honest guy, and I will not pretend that I am not VERY nervous! Anyways, I am also getting sick of hearing people that are leaving here that just got down from Iraq, telling us the things they saw! Because it makes you even more nervous, because it doesn't seem so distant! The system they have in Iraq for the post deployment health assessments is screwed right now, so we want to change it to make more sense, and to not have us fly to so many Forward Operating Bases and get shot at! Which is where they go now to be technical support for the units that conduct PDHA's for their people!
So, somehow, I went from being a medic to being an IT guy with a different job!
I call it COMBAT IT!!!! They are going to start giving out the COMBAT IT BADGE soon!
Kidding!
Anyways, I won't say any more about that!
Kuwait itself, I would have no idea what is like cuz I haven't seen it! Camp Doha in the area I'm in looks like a warehouse district of any suburb, but the difference is you live, eat, play, and shop in the warehouses! Not that bad I guess, but the difference in people, and mindframes here is large! Just because you have people who just got back, and people who haven't left yet!
I will try to update as time permits, and believe it or not, it will be easier in Iraq to access internet, because it will be part of my job!
Later,
Erik

Ryley prays for you every night at the dinner table. His prayer goes, "Bless Erik, Amen. Bless Missy, Amen Bless Hunter, Amen Bless "Mason", Amen." Then it usually gets repeated about 10 times. It is very cute. So you see, you really are in EVERYONES prayers.

Erik dear, as I watch you stare your fear in the face, I am amazed at your inner strength and also your willingness to be human. Your most faithful partner on this journey is the Lord, followed by about a g-zillion of us here at home who think about and pray for you every single minute. I know you feel all of our support because you are sending it right back to us.
You are our teacher and this is a class hanging on your every word. Thank you.
I love you very much.
