Wow, It is day 7 I think. We had to wear our body armor and stuff for the 1st time yesterday. It was not as hot but it was still heavy after 6 or so hours trying to get climatized. I have not seen any dhamels yet, I have seen a few ants, and ofcourse I stomped them. I did not recieve any good drops, just some gunk on the bottom of my boot. I saw a scorpian also, I left him alone for the most part. I do not know if thier venom in thier stinger is deadly or not..... LMAO. It has been going by fast, the days seem long, but it is really hard to believe it has been a week already. Today is my birthday and I am not with friends or family so it has to be my worse yet, but then I am 33 so I am sure they do nt really get better, until the kids start getting me birthday gifts.... Wonderful Kids I have!!! Well I am off to get some lunch and try to catch my wife close to her cell phone. I will try to post on here as much as I can. THanks for your support..... SGTKAE
