Tuesday in Kirkuk

So today I got to go outside the wire again into downtown Kirkuk for an award ceremony. It was for 5 Iraqi policeman who successfully stopped and tackled and prevented a suicide bomber from attacking a Mosque. It was a neat experience. They were presented with Army Achievement Medals and each recieved $1500.

My office has been very busy processing End of Tour awards for everyone. We have to look at over 500 awards to make sure they are correct-that has made the time go by very fast.

I also started my college class today-Ethics-so that will keep me busy also-hopefully, I will finish my degree while I am here.

It is definitely getting hotter outside! The sun is kicking in.

I am pretty beat, will write more later....
