This was a hectic week in that lots more work was being done at my Postal Distribution Facility (PDF)site as well as 15 others around the base. Everyone working long hours here to get as much done as possible as soon as possible. Seems like all we have to do is our jobs so we might as well get them done. Attitudes are great and it's a pleasure working with these folks. Besides, there's not much else to do otherwise on the base for us. Occasionally, Turkish GC will have a great Turkish barbeque for his guys as well as ours but other than that it's work, hootch, shower, sleep and do it again next day. Had to be in Vest and helmut all day yesterday and today so far because of potential incoming. It's a hassle first time around wearing the body armour in these temps (~115-120ish) but I'm gettin used to it. Sad news about our marines from Ohio yesterday. Have to pray for them and their families. Our soldiers are something else here. They just keep on doin their jobs no matter what and never complain. Many have asked how things are back home and I tell them in my community of Greenville NC, there's a whole lot of folks prayin for them and lookin forward to us comin home... Try to encourage them but they're OK and just keep on doin their thing. Guess that's what our country is really about...give us the task and we'll figure a way to get it done. Only difference here is sometimes some of us are gettin shot at while we're do it...LOL It's what makes our country and its people as strong as it is...a few good people choosin to be soldiers so we can all do our thing back home in peace...what a bunch to have the honor to work with...truly is a blessing
