Scania is BIG TIME!!

Check out the article about Scania's DFAC at the link below.
I'll be sending up some more pics in a day or two.

Four-Star Dining Experience in Iraq

No Humility For The Hard Man

Not too much going on here, as usual. Here's a quick list:

- The team has gone to 5x12s instead of 6x10s. I have changed my schedule to 8a-8p.

- Highs have been in the upper 50's to low 60's and the lows have been in the upper 30's.

- The rain has increased but it hasn't been too bad yet.

- Due to staffing issues, I will be unable to take my trip to Bangkok. Oh well, I'll be taking my trip to Texas in March, and that's the important one anyway.

Happy New Years Everybody!

Just chuggin' along here. The 108th got all geared up for the 1st and had some sort of ball thing they dropped at midnight. They also had some small bon-fires and karaoke.

Recently we've been topping out at the mid 60's with lows in the upper 40's. Its suppsed to be a bit cooler than that in a couple of weeks. Not much rain so far, but that's also supposed to change in a couple of weeks.

On the 27th of January I'll be leaving for Bangkok for a few days with a co-worker. Most people think of Bangkok in one of the two following ways:

#1 Exotic Temples:


#2 Sprawling, Uncontrolled Rampant Urbanization:


I'll be sure and let everyone know which one I encounter. [Hint: Both]

Not much else going on here. I was off for Christmas but worked New Year's Day. I'm still doing the 6pm-4am shift. Lots of friends sent cards and gifts, which was very much appreciated.

Oh, for all you coffee drinkers looking for something a little different, try:
Peet's Coffee & Tea. Major Dickason's blend is quite nice.
The Coffee Fool. Their roasts are more on the light side but they have a ton of blend options which are very tasty.

Both companies shipped to Scania and in the case of the Coffee Fool, their bags are hermetically sealed. The coffee was sent already ground and was still quite fresh when I got it.
