Ultimate Duty Station: Iraq


Since my last post on the blog, I have been traveling to my destination and training in my new position. The training has occurred during the night shift, which is very disorienting. At the beginning of my shift, I greet folks with a "Good Morning" in the middle of the night. I will soon be transitioning to the day shift. I have discovered that a key advantage to the night shift is the darkness and cooler temperatures. Speaking to a day shift colleague at lunch, I asked him if he has gotten used to the midday 113 degree temperatures. "Does anyone get used to a cigarette burning your skin every day?" he responded.
