Word from the field:

Smith here. Level 17, eh? I think mine is at 13 now, I had a huge losing streak before I left... We have internet here, they are trying to make it like a post in Iraq, except it's -10 degrees instead of 110. Ya, DeLong is whining and all he does is retrans, I'm on the line and go out on missions every day. He won't have any cool pictures, but I don't have a camera... so oh well. Actually, we'll have to wait and see on those pictures, maybe he'll have some good ones after all.

Today I got up at 5 am and I'm still up at 2 am the next day, I won't get but 3 hours of sleep tonight, and then hope to sleep some in the back of a Bradley. Hopefully my internet won't be cut off when I get back(lousy Germans), and I'll be able to hop right back into the game. I got my gear setup now(laser training gear) and I have some ammunition(blanks) so maybe I'll be able to participate in the firefight tomorrow.
