The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Man, with a title like that, you'd probably expect me to evoke some Biblical imagery that draws a parallel between the circumstance I find myself in and the End Time. While perhaps an apt allegory may be appropriate, I chose the title merely because I attended a concert here by a band of that name. You may be disappointed, but no more so than I was upon hearing the "music" proffered. I doubt I can describe it accurately, but think of a two-year-old pitching a screaming fit and you'd be close.
Today was my first full day on the job. I suppose this whole deployment thing is doable. In fact, although I learned we work 7 days a week, I think that may be more of a blessing than a curse. I mean, what else is there to do around here? If I had a whole day to ponder how long I had left, it might actually be more of a detriment.

I had one especially interesting highlight today: I found out my buddy and former co-worker (from my time at Randolph AFB) is deployed here in an adjacent camp around BIAP. It was good to talk to an old friend.

As promised in my previous post, here's a link to some pics from Facebook. These are just the rest of the pics from my transit into country. I'll take and post pics in the next few days. Out here.
