Well hello again. I guess I have been inspired to write again. It’s been touch and go around here they tell us we are packing up and leaving then they say where staying. The marines want us to stay but the 30th regiment wants us to go west to build more. I’m fine right here still a little sandy but I almost got it fix up nice. We will be losing some guys to go to FOB’s (That’s forward operating bases) to set up SWAHUT for the Iraq’s to take over and live in. hope they like them. SWAHUT’s are southwest Asia huts that we build. They are like one room plywood houses that you could put 20 beds in to sleep in. they have AC in them to, that a plus around here. That what we build for the marines to live in to. We would like some but we are to busying building them for everybody else so we’ll just stay in our tents and old block buildings. The block building aren’t bad after you stop the hole up if they don’t fall in. I was a sleep other night and a piece of the ceiling fell down and I came jumping out of the bed thought I done been fraged by a grenade. The guys out side my door are having too much fun they have killed a camel spider about the size of a baseball. We have a wood porch built on the side of the building where everybody hangs out. They have tied a string on the spider and run it threw a crack in the wood. They will get someone to stop and look at the spider then pull the string. It has scared the poo poo out of some of them. Thing you do for fun around here. I got to have fun today my guy’s where cleaning up the shop and found a scorpion it ran under the tent side. They where probing with a stick trying to find it not knowing I’m standing on the other side of the tent. I ran a big black wire under the tent side one big solider let out a scream I think the other jump in his arms. Got to have fun some how. We get to have a Memorial Day party or cook out Monday we get to use this nice building they fix up kind like a club. We had it all day but some general think he more important than us so we have to leave after 14:00 so he can use it. Like he doesn’t have it made already. O well I guess I stop cry now it could be worse I could be in Iraq oh no I am! We are at the half way mark now, boy it seems like a long time left. People are starting to get edgy. Ever little thing is starting to bother people. We had two people to go home now with emotional problems a one more on his way. Pray for them. I find that lot of prayer and bible study helps. Boy it really makes me miss my church. We have church here but it’s not the same. The music on CD it’s not bad I get to play drums when the guitar player makes it. Then I don’t think it’s to good. I started to say you alt to hear us but you’ll be glad you don’t. You know working with these guys really make me miss the tweens at church to they act about the same. Actually the tweens act a lot better. Got love them anyway. Well I’m listening to Michael W Smith I feel reenergized now so I’m going to do something constructive like maybe going to bed. Or sit on the porch and watch people walk by I’ll find something. Don’t worry mom I’m not going wondering off base. But I may look over the fence. Just kidding. Yaw right me back I don’t have time to right back a lot but I do like getting E-mail and letters from you all. Love you And God bless you all CM1 Wilson aka Allen
