Teammates at Taji

"I'm doing alright, but its getting hot over here, 115 degrees. The other day Seth Nieman was up here on a mission and I got to spend some time with him. We went to get a bowl of ice cream at the chow hall and I got a picture in front of the Army jersey there. It is the same number and same year design as Anthony Miller my teammate who died when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. I look at it and think of him every time i'm in the chow hall. Please send one of these to the coaches, I know Coach Waugh will especially like it.

Ok I got to go, I just got a call on my snitch phone."

Al is one of Will's West Point classmates and his roommate back at his house in Killeen.

"I attached a picture of Al and I in front of the new place I live, theTaji IP station. The showers are there and hooked up but some of thepipes are leaking from the damage of transporting it, the lightsflicker and there is no Fre-on in the AC it all should be fixed bythis weekend.

I'm also overseeing a project to rewire the wholebuilding and bring in a 250K generator which will make a bigdifference since we only have about 4 hours of electricity and have a15K generator to run the mission essential eqiupment.

Yes there where a couple VBIED in my sector the other day, my guys andI are alright. We were the first ones to arrive on scene and see a 25foot whole in the bridge near us. There has been on ongoing operationto cover the whole with a military transportable bridge since itoccured two days ago. Needless to say i've been busy."
