Internet in Iraq (yeah!!!!)

Sorry it has been so long-just got my internet hooked up. It is slow, but it is great none the less. Guess I got a lot of catching up to do!
To try and catch up:
About 60 of us flew from Kuwait to Kirkuk, Iraq. It was about a 2 hour flight. We were in all our gear and in the smallest, most uncomfortable air force plane imaginable. It felt like eternity and that we were in a big sauna. Anyway, we landed and about 4 people from my office were there to meet me and help me with my bags. We landed about 6 at night. That was the other thing-we had to do a combat landing-like a roller coaster ride and you know me-not a big fan of roller coasters!
Anyway, I have my own room which is very nice-bed, air conditioner.
I have an office of 7 soldiers-so far they seem alright, but there is some work that we need to work on. We work 7 days a week usually from about 8 to 8. There is actually lots to do-which makes the time go by faster, which is very nice-counting down to going home!
The food is actually pretty good and I have also been drinking lots of water! It is not quite as hot as I thought it was going to be-about 90 or so-but I guess we haven't reached summer yet.
We do physical training monday through friday at 630-running etc
They have luxuries here-but this place is huge. FOB Warrior is divided into 2 sides-Lightside and Darkside. Most of the stores, etc are on the lightside. I live on the Darkside. It is either about a 3 mile walk or wait anywhere up to an hour for the shuttle bus. So I have been going over there 1 or 2 a week-guess I am saving up money!
Finally got internet hooked up last night and was able to webcam with my baby-it was awesome. Anyway, I gotta go-time for breakfast and to head to work. Will try to write more later. Miss and love everyone....
