2nd Layover 2-5-07

Thank God for this Day too. I am at my second layover spot before I get to the final destination for the year. I am not impressed with the layout but I can say that I am safe and I am protected. We arrived late at night so we could not see much but we did find the chowhall. Now talk about making an impression. I was very impressed with the chow. One coud get very fat over here if they eat 3 meals a day and dessert. The living spaces were ok I felt like an orphan sleeping in bunk beds. I know you all have seen the movie ANNIE, well imagine a bunch of female Marines in a tent with about 24 bunk beds, some singing, some watching movies on their laptop, some carrying on conversations with each other, and some of us trying to get some sleep. It was horrible.

1st Layover 2-4-07

Thank God for this day! Here I sit in my 1st layover spot and I must say I am somewhat impressed with the way things are laid out. Everything is whitin walking distances ambe about .25 - .5 miles from our living spaces. It is amazing how different things are here than they are in Lejeune. I called my mom and kids 3 times already. I miss them so much.

My Feet are Swollen 2-3-07

We have been flying now for about 24 hours. I have never been so cramped before. While on the plane I had to go use the bathroom and I felt like the Tin Man when I got up. I felt like I needed some oil to get me moving. While waiting for someone to come out of the bathroom I notice how tight my boots were. I took my boots off and my feet were swollen, they were ugly and they hurt. I need a foot massage.....any takers :-)?
