Road Repairs on the way to Assamo
On the 7th I left for Assamo Djibouti. We are staying in Ali Sabieh while we fix the road to Assamo so we can get our equipment in. I have been working side by side with the Guam Army National Guard and the 1132nd Engineering Det. from Mooresville North Carolina. They are all great guys. There is one Navy cat here who is a douche. I really do dislike the guy, but he outranks me so I have to hold my tongue. My base has a ton of morons back home. They screwed up my BAH again, so the Air Force owes me money. Ok, my bitching aside, we have run into quite a few problems here- flat tires, busted hydraulic lines etc... However we're making progress, more money, and the climate is way better than on Camp Lemonier.
There are alot of crazy things to see here. Herds of goats, donkeys, camels, camel spiders, kids running around on rocks barefoot. It's a different place for sure. I have a hell of a sunburn. Time to go take my water bottle/baby wipe shower and hit the sack... More later..
