Kuwait- week one

We left from Ft. Hood, TX and flew up to St. Paul, MN than to Amsterdam, then finally over to Kuwait City. Then we were bussed over to Camp Buerhing, where I am now. Now I am getting used to the temperature, climate, and time change. It is not going that badly. It?s actually a lot like Texas here, so not much change.
We live in tents but its not that bad. They are HUGE tents. We have like 75 people in them. They also have tremendous a/c which is awesome. Then if it?s winding outside I wouldn't even know, which is sweet. We do sleep in cots, which isn?t the best thing in the world, but better than the ground.
We have internet hence how I am posting this. But it is pretty unreliable here. I paid $28 to have access in my tent and it will work at like 2 am no problem. In fact today it wasn't to slow even. Don?t worry people are waking up and it has slowed back down. There a few things to do here, not much they do call it camp boring. Yesterday I played Guitar Hero for the first time ever, it wasn't too bad. Since my roommate in Iraq will have it, we may spend a lot of time playing it during the next year.
Had a little problem with my sergeant, and hoping for my sanity we get our old NCO back. Not sure it will happen, but I can pray and wish right. I will try to keep this up to date as much as I can.
