Night shift, although much cooler than the day, stinks because I can not get on a proper sleep schedule. Now, don't get me wrong. I can sleep anywhere, and I mean ANYWHERE, but when it is time for me to lay down, my mind races with other thoughts. I feel like I am so far behind in my class. I finished 2 assignments today. Thank goodness! Our job at work entails (sp) opening up a connex, inventorying everything inside of it, consolidating the goods into boxes (serviceable or unserviceable) and placing them in the proper DONE connex. I am a team leader incharge of the paperwork for my group. The past couple of nights I have had 2 people working with me, but tonight the new company from Puerto Rico is going to be there to help. I have to train in a couple of girls to be paper pushers. What fun! Plus, I'll probably have an additional 3 people working for me. It could get a little crazy. Hopefully, I don't freak out when a billion numbers are being shouted at me. I love being incharge (when I know what is going on)...but most of you already knew that. It looks like I will probably be getting my leave since we will probably be here until December with this mission formally named Blue Falcon. ***FYI*** Blue Falcon is a term used in the military for Buddy F-er, meaning we were given this mission by higher ups and we got F-ed. We thought it was really funny, but apparently it wasn't to those who heard about it so somehow it got the stupid name of Spaghetti Western...NOT sure what that means AT ALL. I'm going to go order some Pizza Hut...Yes that is RIGHT. We just got a "HUT" in Kuwait! The crappy thing is that they don't even have breadsticks. What kind of HUT is it when you don't even have breadsticks! I know Emily, your heart is breaking! We are going to have a little interactive fun...I am going to end some of my blogs with an accronym. Your job is to try to figure out what it stands for. The first one is (NCOIC).

Oh yeah...and tomorrow is the day that I have been here for 180 days, meaning that I will officially be a Veteran of War!!!!!!! Rock on Benefits!
