BOO!! Did I scare anyone???

Well, I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween.  Don't eat too much candy...

As for me, they are actually having a Halloween party here tonight at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) building.  There is going to be a 5K fun run at 6pm and you can run in costume.  Then there will be a party and costume contest after that.  I think that I've got the girls that I deployed with convinced to go.  We are going to wear our brown T-shirts and different colored shorts.  Want to know what that costume is?That's what the Navy personnel here wear when they are not in their Desert uniforms.  They do not have to wear their "official" PT uniform.  It's kind of an inside joke, but we really are thinking about doing it.  I think we've been here long enough now that it doesn't take much to amuse us!!!  We pretty much amuse ourselves!

Anyways, we are all starting to get excited about leaving soon.  We have our Customs inspection on our connexes (big trailers that we are packing stuff in to send home on a ship) on Wednesday.  We have to make sure everything is clean and that there is no "contraband" in any of our stuff.  The K9 unit from the Air Force will come over so the dogs can sniff for drugs and weapons.  Then we can pack everything up in our duffle bags, lock 'em and send everything to the port in Kuwait to get put on a ship for Texas.  They should get back to Texas sometime in late January or early February.

Let's see, what else is going on?  Well, it finally has gotten cooler here in the mornings and evenings.  We even had a few drops of rain once.  But, now that the clouds have gotten here, it is starting to get humid.  It's still pretty warm during the day.  I'm not looking forward to rainy season.  I hope we don't get caught in it too much before we leave.

Oh, mail.  If anyone was planning on packing a box to send over, please don't.  Our mail cutoff is Halloween, so if you haven't already mailed it, just keep it there.  By the time it gets here, we will probably be on our way to Kuwait.

Well, that's about it for now.  I hope everyone enjoys Halloween.  Debbie, I think your costume idea for work is hilarious!

Take Care everyone and I'll be seeing you soon -
