News from Iraq

I was worried about my friend with the current shit going down but he seems to be ok even though he would rather he here than there.

The news is disturbing, we are locked down and our convoys have stopped running until KBR and the military can create contingencies that will keep our people safe. As long as we stay inside the "Walls" we are reasonably safe. However, this is a third world country in a war zone. We have folks in outlying camps that we can't support until the current situation is minimized and they are enduring some tense moments.

It is really encouraging to see our guys fighting back, for so long they
have had to take more than necessary. I just hope the hostages can be
freed.

Pray for our guys, and stay the course

Weather in Iraq

An friend of mine who I used to work for had been out of work for a while last year when he got the chance to work for KBR in Iraq (a division of Halliburton if you didn't know).

I just got the following letter and while it doesn't go into what he is doing other than working 12-16 hours days he has this to say about the weather.

The weather here is really nice this time of year. The temp is just now starting to clime into the 90's nights are in the low 60's with nice cool breezes during the day. The winter was a lot like Houston. Rainy and cold, there was actually some frost a couple of mornings. The month of May will probably be the return to 100's day and night....

He is able to access the internet so I hope he will send some more information about what he is doing aside from making lots of money.

Keep your head down cowboy and come home safe.
