Same Old Stuff

I'm still at the same FOB doing training. The way things are going it looks like all I'll be doing this deployment is training. I guess it could be worse.

The weather is getting hotter here, it's probably topped out around 100 degrees. Still not as hot as Iraq, but it's getting there. I'm sitting here in the MWR (moral, welfare, and recreation), which if you don't know is the place you go to use the phone, computer, or watch TV. It pisses me off because everything is run by satellite, so there's really a limit on bandwidth. But, of course, you have these guys that want to video chat, Skype and other programs that suck up the bandwidth. All I want to do is go on Gmail and it takes like 10 minutes to load the page. And you only have 30 minutes at a time...

I'm going to start doing a spanish word of the day so I can start learning a little faster... today it is alquilar, which is to rent or hire, as in a car.
