Hello from Iraq! We have arrived in country and have started our work here. We are still turning over with the team that is leaving and getting ourselves settled into a routine. The address that I posted earlier is correct, good thing because I sent myself a package and it arrived. It takes about 11 days from CA to our area. The weather is kind of cold right now. The days are getting up into the low to mid 80's (when the sand and wind are not blowing) and the nights are into the 40 and 50's (with blowing wind). But we know it will be getting good and hot soon.

My email addresses are as follows:

NIPR david.bennett@acemnf-wiraq.usmc.mil
SIPR david.bennett@acemnf-wiraq.usmc.smil.mil

So for those of you that have a SIPR account you can shoot me mail on the high side.

Things are going well and we are getting ready to get into our schedule for work. I will keep everyone updated as time allows about life in the Iraq. Hope all finds everyone well.
