Well I’m still stuck in Tallil and I’m hating life. The temperature here is a lot worse than it was up at Scandia so it’s that much harder to sit here and do nothing. The official word is that we need to wait while they make up our itineraries to go home, but nobody knows how long that will take. We keep asking every morning if orders are ready; they tell us to come back in the evening. We come back in the evening and they tell us to some back in the morning.

One bad rumor going around is that there’s a two week waiting list to get out processed and the Colonel wants to keep us here till he knows for sure that were getting out of here. I’d rather wait down in Doha where there are things to do than wait here in this 115º weather and this boring tent.

I guess all I can hope for is for the out processing after this to go quickly and still get us home soon.
