Hi!

Presently at Tallil AB just outside the town of An Nasiriyah (Where PFC Jessica Lynch and her convoy were attacked). May be here for a while!

Got an e-mail address yesterday and had some time this morning after breakfast, so stopped by the MWR tent to see if I could get this out. Right now it's 0640 local 28 Aug. or 2140 CDT on the 27 Aug.

Conditions here are pretty crappy. Not a green living thing in sight. But they are trying to improve them as time permits. The weather so far has been really HOT, WINDY, and DUSTY. Seriously, if you have someone put a hairdryer, pointed at yor face, going full blast, and throw handfuls of sand, dirt and dust at you, you'll get a good idea of what it's like here from 1030 till dusk. Everything is covered with dirt and dust. Pray it does'nt rain or we will be in a sea of mud.

I've got to get going, we have our newcomer's brief in an hour and then have to get out to work. Send me an e-mail whenever you can, I'll try to check it daily!

Keeping My Head Down and Watching My Back,

Kris Kilmer
