Dustdevil in Iraq-with pictures!

[Dustdevil]

Hey kids! I have finally arrived at my semi-permanent destination to get comfortable for awhile. I am at a major airbase in the so-called "Sunni Triangle of Death" out west of Baghdad. It's pretty busy out here, but not overwhelming. It's been a very long time since this old fart has slept in a tent, dodged rockets, or cared for adult patients, so I feel like a total rookie still, but I'm getting more comfortable everyday.

I've been getting jerked around for the last three weeks on being issued a computer (as they were supposed to do before I even got here), but I should finally get one in the coming week. Then I'll be able to get online daily and catch up and chat. I even bought a new webcam already. All I need is a computer too hook it up to, ha! Y'all are going to love the buzz cut hairdo. And khaki is definitely my colour. :?

Talk to everybody soon!

Hay Dust,

good to see you have arrived there OK. Be safe man and keep in touch.

Hey Dust. Just got back from Camp Bowie, located in Brownwood, Texas. Sorry I didn't get to to talk to you before I left. I'm headed to Austin to work on my Commander's Trainins Staff teaching Comabt Lifesaver courses to soldiers deploying for Border Security. Drop me a line when you get the chance.

I don't condone Camel Spider races.

People who go to those things just want to see a spider crash.

Anyhow, apparently Uncle Sam doesn't trust the EMT City chat client. I have been trying for the last two days to get in, and it won't let me.

It isn't Uncle Sam's fault - its all us foreigners who can't keep secrets that are causing the trouble! I hope you get it figured out - everybody knows that Canadians and Australian are harmless!

Take care, man

THERE ONTO ME!

Could it be that they don't have flash installed or does it come up with a filter warning?

It just says "Connecting to server..." for a full two minutes before timing out and giving me this message in a pop-up box...

• "Connection failed! Maybe your network can't access the server,

or the server is under maintenance, please try again later!"

• Any suggestions? I sure miss my chat!
