Its me again saying hello from the sandbox. Time is moving ahead quickly as I will pass 90 days in country on May 12, true I still a have a ways to go but I am staying as busy as I can and that helps. My day consists of work from 730am -430pm and then I spend an hour in the gym and then its time to skype and start any homework that I may have. I have been attending Ashford University online and I have already completed 3 credit hours and working on another 3 now. The military pays the entire cost of my classes so while you are stuck out here might as well be productive.
We had a fairly large sand storm this month and I have attached some photos to show how it looked:

I ran my second 5K run this week and even though I finished in good time, some old guy ran past me, and when that happens you never really quite recover. Overall it was fun and you get a t-shirt each time you complete one.
