15 Jul 2007 - Watch duty


Guam Army National Guard Sergeant Jesse Cabrera sharing some bread.


So I just realized I have one hell of a tan. I am sunburned again, but dark as hell. I woke up today to a camel spider in my bed. I think it's time to bust out the mosquito netting. It's storming something fierce outside right now. I hope it doesn't wash out the road to Assamo. As much as I love making per diem, I do want to get back to the camp eventually. Even the nasty overflowing showers on camp were nicer than a water bottle and baby wipes. I'm running out of shit to do. Since half our team is on a resupply back at the camp I'm helping with force protection duties. It's not bad, just boring.

Today a little girl came up to me wanting food. We aren't allowed to give them our food or water or they'll tell their friends and family and overwhelm us. I gave her a water anyways. She was SO cute and innocent. I was using one of the guys french phrase book to try to communicate with her, but she was very shy.

It's about time to "shower" so goodbye.
