Mods (Dorms): It isn't a 5 star hotel, but it also isn't a tent!

    Definitely can't complain about the accomodations here! They beat the heck out of a tent. While rooms are shared, they aren't crowded and they're clean.

    We even have LAN drops and telephone lines! A definite plus when you're away from home for extended periods (I'm sitting on my bunk as I type).

    The chow hall and BX are within walking distance. There's a great view of oil wells burning off their natural gas.

    While I didn't exactly beg to be here, at least almost everything is free!

    You even get issued body armor at no extra cost ; )

    While it isn't as comfortable as home, things are pretty good here. We don't even have to go outside to &^%$, shower or shave!

    The rooms here are pretty good. They do have some rare qualities though:

    - I have an occasional bunkmate. He's a little brown furry mouse who likes to get into everyone's stuff. He won't be with us much longer ; ) We set out some "critter gitters".

    - Speaking of not being with us, the Iraqi Military Cemetary is about 35 feet behind me.

    - Notice the blanket on the top bunk in the picture. It's there to provide a bit of privacy or block out light. Most have one, as you are only separated from your roommates by maybe 4 feet. However, when the blanket is lowered it is jokingly referred to as a "Spank Tank" ; )

    - As you can see in the picture, I can still surf VT while under attack. We "shelter" in place and wait for an "all clear". You know you're a VT addict if you write travel tips while under rocket/mortar attack!
