My first night sleeping on the base has really put everything in perspective!!!! We were greeted with so much love!!! you see this particular base never gets any body to come to it. Bad weather, cancellations, and the “ITS ALWAYS SOMTHING” syndrome seams to happen here. So we were the first to make it here in almost 2 years!!!!! SO YES, they were real excited to see us. We went straight to the DINING hall to eat, and I had pasta (surprised????) LOL. After dinner we were shown to where we would be staying. They are called CHU”s. Short for a little tiny trailer that sleeps two! No more  TV No more phone No more private bathroom or shower!!! TOTO WE ARE NOT IN KANSAS ANY MORE!! We are really in the war somewhere!!!!! WOW!!!  ONCE AGAIN IM SO GREATFUL FOR THE SACRAFICE OF THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN!!!One of the captains  here with us hooked me up with some DVDs to pass the time!!! THANK YOU!!! It really helped. I did however in a sick way enjoy it!!! It really made me think about so many things in my life and how I live it! As i laid there alone in my room with the silence and my home a world away I realized how much I TAKE FOR GRANTED!!!! From sometimes, my friends and family,  my work , and even my own life. This place will really make you think!!! I’m off to do the first show of the day!!!!!
