Jose in Kuwait
I am on deployment with one of SJEDS students’ father to Kuwait.
Do you know where Kuwait is?
We originally moved into tents for a couple of weeks. The tents had from 5 to 7 people in them. I actually didn’t mind living in the tents (except when the the wind and sandstorms kicked in). We have since moved into what are called pre-cast buildings (PCB’s). It is kind of like a big warehouse. These buildings hold 58 people and me. We use lockers and blankets for walls. The good thing about the PCB’s is that they have internet connections.
The weather is starting to warm up. However, it is also sandstorm season. We have had a few sandstorms so far. Below is a little idea what a sandstorm looks like. The pictures are of a ship in the port. One on a clear day and one during a sandstorm.
The most fun I had was when I went to work with Mr. C. a couple of weeks ago. I also get to hang out with Commander Thom. You can see him in the pictures with me below. We made rounds around the yards and made a few friends along the way.
