I am no longer constrained (much) by the rules of OPSEC because well there is nothing really happening.
I am in Kuwait (as I say that I cringe reflexively because of a year of OPSEC rules)and AAFES (Army, Air Force Exchange Service) scheduled a bazaar in the camp that the 1-503D has taken up temporary residence in. I walked in out of curiosity and was accosted by several vendors. There are few things more surreal or laugh inducing than being told by a bearded, un-hip-looking Arab man to "Hook it up Dog! Check it out!" I did my best not collapse into an avalanche of giggles.
Iraq was hot this time of year, but the heat in Kuwait lies at the threshold of tolerability. Hell must be especially close to the surface in this part of the world. Home (or at least Colorado) is so close at this point that I might just explode.
By the way, for those of you planning to grow human brains in chimpanzees here is an article in the NY Times with some handy ethical guidelines.

Keep looking for your name on 'the list'. Glad to hear you are on your way! Thanks for taking such good care for such a long time.

The list changed at least 5 times I know of and we were delayed. I am posting from Germany right now and I get on the plane in less than 30 minutes.
