skyped, showered, got ready for the day. Then I watched the movie
Meet Joe Black, and I thought it was a pretty decent movie.
After that, I carried my first Gorilla Box to the post office to mail
home. As it turns out, I managed to get 60 pounds of crap in it, and
the shipping was $46. Not too bad, all things considered. It was a
heavy box. One more to pack up at some point.
I had a nice lunch with a PAO friend, Abby. She's going away in about
a week, so it was a sort of farewell. She's the tallest girl I've
ever seen. Her life will be complicated when she goes home, as a
divorce is pending.
Oh yes, AND WE WERE UNDER ATTACK MOST OF THE DAY. From our office, we
heard automatic gun fire, numerous explosions, etc. We actually took
an RPG to the wall closest to us. The whole ground and building
shook, and it was pretty tense. I think we also took a mortar round
too. There were so many explosions...
The base support group was making food deliveries to offices, so we
ended up getting food around 8:45pm, so we were pretty starving. But
now we have the all clear, so we can go back to our rooms, provided we
wear our body armor and helmets. Hopefully tomorrow is less eventful.
Good night.
