Arrived in Kuwait today. It is wierd - I lost May 14th. I do not know where it went. It is 7 hours ahead of East Coast. We arrived and had yet another briefing. I learned that we had a suprise benefit.Since a war zone is tax free and you only have to be in the war zone for one day to recieve the tax free benefit we begin today. Pay is 1-15 and 16-30. We arrived on the 15th so tax free from the 1st-15th - hooah.
We drove to our base which is a few hours away. It is real now as we had live ammo and had to ride with the windows blacked. After we arrived we ate and took a nap. Food is good. I sure miss everyone.

Love From Home
Hey Michael. Didn't think that I would have email where I am, but do and so was happy to see your updates. None of us here can put ourselves in your shoes, but we can keep you in our hearts and our prayers. I really appreciate you keeping us up to date with you so we can still "feel the love" back and forth, just like any regular workday! And as usual your sense of humor is priceless. By the way, I told Shameika the famous "recovery" story on Friday and I could feel your presence right there shaking your head and laughing. Take care and keep in touch. ML
