DRIFTER HAS LANDED

All,

The team has moved (as you could tell by the new address) from East Ramadi all the way over to... West Ramadi. We are now on Camp Ramadi, about 6 miles west of where we were. Yippee.

The bad news: moving sucks, and it sucks more when you have the chance to hit an IED or get shot at. The good news: we all made it safely and we are working with Marines for the first time since we got here, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, out of 29 Palms, CA. They seem to be a really solid unit, don't have as much heavy assets as the Army does, but they are Marines, and that is a breath of fresh air. It's like driving back onto base after being out in the civilian world too long (you Marines know what I mean). We are back with our people.

I will try to knock out a post later. We moved last night about 0230, got here about 0330, got up at 0830. We're beat, and we still have to unpack. I do have some good pictures, though.

Talk to you soon; time to go to bed.

Mail on

All,

OK, turn the mail back on. Sorry for the "simon says" routine, but it's much worse on this end. The address posted to 3/7 is a GO.

Thanks for you patience. Will try to post today or tomorrow.

STAND BY TO STAND BY

Our move has been delayed a but, unsure for how long. HOLD ON MAILING ANYTHING TO ANY ADDRESS until this cluster gets sorted out. If you already put something in the mail, don't worry about it; it will catch up to us.

The fun just never stops.
