Morning all (6:15 AM here). Was wakened seveal times last night by some squeaking noise. I thought at first it was some demented bird but I realized it was mechanical, probably our air conditioning unit conking out on us. Our barrack boxes didn't show up yesterday so we're still waiting for them before we go anywhere. Its been over a week since we finished our training, and although the past week went fast, it certainly is getting boring just waiting around to deploy.
A haboob (wind and sand storm) blew through the night before last, the military CO (Commanding Officer) invited us up to his roof top patio to watch it, it was very spectacular. It rained as well and the air was quite fresh and cool all the way till yesterday morning. Coincidentally or not, Thursday and Friday felt like the hottest days since we've been here so it may be that the haboobs result from the severe heat. Enyways, there was some thunder too and a rainbow at one point; it was an eclectic weather event to say the least.
As hot as it is during the day, the cooled down a bit last night, we ate at an outdoor restaurant and it was quite pleasant.
We're trying to pool all our pictures, so I hope to have some new ones to post on the blog soon.
