Amazing

I have been limiting what I say primarily because I don't want people to worry too much. But I've been getting requests for more information about what actually is going on. I will try to give more details but you still need to remember that what I say is not current or useable (hopefully) since the enemy can use this information against us. Mom is not gonna like this change but I think it is important to give a proper perspective of what goes on here and what I live through on a near daily basis. Like even as I write this, we are under mortar attack. I've really gotten used to the attacks, if you ever can, but I know that one of them may have my number on it but I really don't worry. I am cautious and I wear the protective equipment but if I went around worrying about the attacks we get, then nothing would get done. A little bit ago, there was 9 mortars that hit close that nearly caused a huge amount of damage but all it did was make some huge craters. One guy got injured but it wasn't life threatening. I am keeping a separate, accurate record of the attacks, the effects of the attack and what I was doing at the time of the attack. It is interesting reading. I like reading back over that log and see where I've been in the last two months. This place is full of awesome and amazing people. With the specific attacks we get, people continue to work hard at their duties. I can say without a doubt that I can't think of anyone that I dislike. Well that could be said for everybody everywhere, I can get along with everybody. Don't know what that says about me or my character, but everybody here is nice to be around. Everyone gets along with no bickering at all. Everyone respects everyone. We are here to do an important job and everyone does it very well. Practical jokes happen all the time and people are always having fun, it's a great work environment. But let me assure you that the work we are doing is amazingly important and that people's lives are at stake with nearly every tactical and strategic decision. I am also amazed at the quality of work that is done the first time around. Cuts down on the actual amount of time and energy to accomplish something. I know that Mom will not like this new trend in this blog, but maybe Dad can filter it for her. And I won't have bad stuff daily because I think a lot of the stuff I encounter is funny or at least self-induced. That is that.
