Pass
Well, since my last post, I was given a four-day pass. To those who have no idea what I'm talking about, it simply means that I did not have to work for four days. These were the first and only four days that I had or will have off during my stay in Iraq. For those who are wondering "Didn't you take leave?" The answer is "Not yet." I am taking all of my leave as terminal leave.
I did pretty much nothing but sleep for the four days that I had off. I did eat at the Taco Bell trailer once. That's right, we have a little Taco Bell here. There is also a Burger King, but don't get confused into thinking that they are real. These are as much Taco Bell and Burger King as the Bob Evans trailer at the Meigs County Fair is a real Bob Evans family restaurant.
I do want to thank Diane, Dave, and the Three Amigos: Angie, Amy, and Carly. They were responsible for the three most recent care packages that I received. Diane's had some sugar free stuff in it that I had requested, and it was helping to stave off the sugar fix. The GIANT bag of peanut M&Ms that came from Angie, Amy, and Carly reversed all calorie reductions that I had managed in the month prior. Dave's package saved me from my own stench with some soap and deodorant. I think that I have enough now to hold me for the rest of my stay. Thanks again to all.
