Life starts in Kuwait

Hey guys. So it has been quite a few weeks. I arrived around April 2 and on April 9 my apartment got robbed. So I flew home for ten days to take care of business. It was somewhat depressing but I got to spend some quality time with Angel, my sister visited, and best of all I GOT A PUPPY!!!! Thankfully we had insurance, unfortunately we lost all my jewelry including some of my Grandmother's, so even though everything else is covrered we are out a few thousand in jewlery. But my Hunter was a nice consolation. He is just soooooo darn cute and well behaved! Ill be posting pictures, don't worry. Now, onto the things i think you all want to know. Kuwait. Not much to say, desolate and boring. I live in a pod which is a connex (shipment cargo looking thing). Its grey metal. But Im working it to make it look like home. I am going to try to link photobucket to my blog. I hope you will all be able to watch videos through this as well. I cannot leave Camp Arifjan yet because i do not have my Representation Credentials. But hopefully Ill be going soon. The weather is warming up, high 80 low 90. The food is pretty good, we have a big PX (store) an amazing gym with a rotating climbing wall, AWESOME! And my favorite, A POOL!!! Even though the amenities are incredible, I do not expect to be to happy because the operations tempo is very low here. I like to be much more stimulated and I do not think i will find that here. I am on the liaison team so I will be speaking with a lot of government officials, generals and governors etc. But thats life in the Army, speaking of life in the army I have 463 days left!!! Woo Hoo, and Hopefully Ill save 30-45 days of terminal leave, so even less! Ok, Ill be in touch. Im gonna try to figure out how to post pictures. Take care everyone, I should have a lot of time, so Ill try to stay in better touch this year! love you all! Erika
