My name is Specialist Arcangel. I'm a soldier in the U.S. Army 3rd Infantry Division and this is my weblog. I created this blog to keep friends and family updated on things I'm doing in Iraq. Operation Iraqi Freedom Part 3 told by me. NOTE: Because of Operational Security(OPSEC), I will not post images of my communications equipment, give details about my job, show images of security check points, or give in depth descriptions of certain incidents or events.

In Camp Virginia

I am now in Camp Virginia in Kuwait. I will here here for about 2 weeks, then we head up to Taji, Camp Cooke in Iraq, approximatly 10+ miles north of Baghdad.

The flight over was shorter then I anticipated it to be. We flew into Frankfurt Germany which took about 7 hours. We stoped there to refuel then from there to Kuwait which took about 5 hours.

The weather here is not bad. High of 60's lows in the 40's. A whole lot of sand and nothingness.DSCN1014sm DSCN1021sm

I had to wait 2 hours at internet cafe to upload these photos. You can bring own laptop in and pay $5 an hour for internet or use one of their computers, but i can't connect my camera to their computers to upload the pictures so I waited patiently for a port to open for my laptop. The internet connection here is slow as shit. Took me 50 minutes to upload a handful a pictures. I might just have to wait till I get to Iraq to upload them.DSCN1030sm
