108 degrees at 7 a.m.

I guess I could take a minute to tell you guys a little bit about Southwest Asia. I can't say exactly where I was due to security reasons, but I can assure you it was hot as hell. Days were pretty much exactly the same every day. I'd wake up, take a shower, take a 15 minute bus ride to the other side of the base, eat, and then go to work. Since I work in a lab, I never really get to see the end result of what I do. I just know that because of what we do at work, the bombs fall on target and "bad" people die. Other than that, it was hot. It would get over 150 degrees on the flight line most days, and the humidity was ususally around 75 percent at night. I worked nights, and if it was 90 outside with 60 percent humidty, we thought it was beautiful. It could've been a lot worse though. I was really lucky that everyone I worked with was really cool and nobody complained about doing there job. We all knew it sucked and bitching about it wouldn't make it go away. Anyways, I'm sure there are a ton of things I am leaving out, but I'm starving right now so I'll right some more later if I think of anything good.
