I received the DVD of our television interview.
I’ve watched it about ten times so far, and since there’s no need to watch it alone, I get others to watch it with me.
Colin: “Lance, come watch the video.”
Lance: “I saw it on the internet.”
Colin: “Yes, but it didn’t have sound.”
Lance: “Yes, it did.”
Colin: “Get in here!”
Everyone howled when Mary and I kissed and many of the guys wanted more information on Alicia.
Stars and Stripes Article on Blogs
Cheryl Irwin, a Defense Department spokeswoman stated, “They have every right under the First Amendment to say any darn thing they want to say unless they reveal classified information, and then it becomes an issue as a security violation.” I’m going to open things up a bit more. You’ll be hearing about a guy we call “The Wolf” as well as other tales. Stars & Stripes is published by the DoD, but there’s not much of a slant either way. Most articles are from the AP, as well as the Washington Post. Stars & Stripes reporters do a few human interest stories on deployed troops.
KBR Delivers
When we were in an isolated area on an expansive FOB, visits to the ice trailer were a chore. One day the KBR guys rolled up to our company area in their articulating lorry and started handing out bags of ice. They said they were in danger of having their contract cut back and had to show FOB management that there was indeed a demand. So they took their business on the road and demonstrated they could easily empty a load of ice.
KBR also provides laundry service. Most of the guys in my building prefer to do laundry in our washing machine and line dry it. This results in people knocking on every door asking, “Is that your stuff in the washing machine?” I like the KBR laundry; they wash, dry, and fold. It’s no problem finding a laundry drop off point on any particular FOB, there are signs stating, “Free Laundry”.
