Little Update to everyone....

Things here are going well, I am currently filling in for the FOB Commander while he is on vacation, so my days are busy with paperwork and more paperwork. Other than that not much happening. I can truly say that since I first arrived here in Al Kut. The city has changed a lot since then (for the better). It is amazing to see hundreds of people out on the streets now, just a few months ago you did not see that. The Iraqi's here in Al Kut are making a big difference in their community. It still isn't perfect but it is a step in the right direction for over here.

Here are a few pictures I took......I was able to see how they make the flat bread. It is very neat to see part of their culture and how they do things.

See everyone soon.
