Life at Camp Virginia Kuwait

Well, it turns out I do have internet access in Kuwait after all so I will keep the blog updated while I am here. We arrived at Camp Virginia around 0430 and got settled into our tents just as the sun was comming up. By 0630, it was already around 100 degrees and bright, when I awoke from my nap around 1100, it was 115 and even brighter. There is sand everywhere here, but the DFAC is not that bad and there is a good sized PX and some fast food places as well as a huge USO. I will be here for a few days, then I go for more training in an even hotter and more desolate place, then finally to Afghanistan sometime in the next 8-9 days. We are living in tents here, but we do have AC when the power is up and wooden floors and even sleep on cots. The theory is that they make you live in these conditions, then move you to the range where you sleep on the ground and eat MREs (real MREs, not the crap we had at Camp McCrady), just so you will better appreciate your living conditions forward. I will post some pictures in the next couple of days.
