I like TQ but even more I look forward to seeing as much of Iraq as possible.  Camp Fallujah (CF) was certainly one of those places I wanted to get to.

We lucked out as our convoy rolled in just before evening chow was to end.  We hurried up to drop our gear in a transient tent and get something to eat.

They say first impressions are very important and if your first experience of life at CF is in the chow hall you will certainly like this place.  Steak, shrimp, vegetables, salad, Gatorade, and coffee were a perfect way to end the day.

To further illustrate about the importance of first impressions you just need to know about the transient tent we were in.  Dirty floor, dirty mattress, no linens, pillows, anything yet I didn’t care.  Swept off the sand and dirt, used a towel as a pillow, and slept like a baby until 0500.

Semper Fi,
