I just got back from a wonderful night of boring left hand turns in the skies of Iraq. Yep I had the distinct privilege of not only watching the sunset from 18,000 feet above the ground but also watching it rise some 10 hours later =) Now I did this all without refueling so why anyone would want to be on a plane that can refuel in the air is beyond me!
We watched Blood Diamonds, it was the first time I had seen it. I liked it, lots of action and drama with even a really cheesy romance thrown in the mix. It is not the most upbeat movie but entertaining and eye opening at the same time. Morale of the story is Americans are bad but I am sure glad to be one!
I should have some pictures emailed to me from the flight, we were playing with the camera and taking pictures threw our NVG’s (night vision goggles). Took a little tweaking but I think they turned out alright.
I got our 4th of July explosions emailed to me so enjoy some C4 at its finest =)
I tried to get my hair cut today but they are close till further noticed due to some “electrical problem” I guess it’s a good idea to let them fix the problem instead of electrocuting the hair off of my head =0 So now it’s time to hit the gym and then bed as I have only gotten a 2.5 hour nap in the last 31ish hours. Keep the email coming as I enjoy getting it and I hope to see you all soon.
