Apologies and Updates

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for not posting sooner. Life has been quite hectic in the Iraq and Kuwait area of operations for 2nd CLP (Combat Logistics Patrol, pronounced "clip"), 2nd Platoon. Most recently, our mission has been working long hours in the motor pool, ensuring all of our equipment is up to standard. Some nights, this means 12 hours in the motor pool; working on our trucks; taking inventory of our chains, binders, and tools on the truck; and ensuring that every piece of equipment we have is in good working order. The equipment left to us by the previous unit was in horrible condition, so this has meant a lot of work on our part, with more work to come.

Taking a break from the motor pool, 2nd CLP just returned back from a mission into Iraq. This was a short stint in Iraq, only two days spent there, and two days spent in Kuwait. Really, this is about the shortest mission that a unit like ours will do. I've taken quite a few pictures on this trip, and even another video. Nothing too exciting, but I'll be sure and post the pictures and video as soon as I get back to Arifjan.

So, until next time....... (which opefully won't be as long)
