FOB Shank is a black out base. When the sun goes down there aren't any exterior lights and the windows are blacked out. Up until last night we had the moon to help light things up. But, with the clouds rolling through you could barely see a couple feet in front of ya. The sun was shining this morning so we got to see the snow that the fell on the mountains last night. I guess it's only a matter of time until we get some. Maybe we'll get a chance to go sledding :)
The view of the mountains was short lived. We got a wake up call at 0640 that sent us to the bunkers. Luckily I'm an early riser and I was already in the office. Most were in the shower or just getting up. It's a little chilly to be heading outside straight from the shower. As long as I have a cup of coffe it's all manageable!!!
We had a weekly project meeting with one of our Turkish contractors. They had some Turkish pizza and bread for us. The pizza was really good. It's on thin, floopy dough with mincemeat, garlic, tomato, red pepper, parsley and a few other things I imagine. It's nice to get a little change from the normal DFAC food.
HOME FRONT NEWS: Little Man informed Katy that he was ready to go back to Disney World. He missed it. Katy told him that she would love to go back to and asked if she could go with him. He got a big smile and said, "Yep. I'll drive. And don't forget to give me the car keys!!".
I talked to Lily on the phone today while they were watching Sera cheer at the Pop Warner football game. She got on the phone and said, "Hi Daddy. I'm playing with that girl and that girl and that girl. Bye Bye Daddy. I love you.". I guess next time I better say something exciting so I can compete with her playmates.
