The temps haven't gotten much hotter out here. Since my last post we've had a few days over 120, but for the most part its been around 115.
Since my last post I've also been out on Patrol with our AF cops. Normally it would be a cold day in hell for anyone in my career field to get off base. Got to interact with a few known AQI members and they were surprisingly nice to our face, offered us tea and answered all our questions with almost believeable answers. All in all it was kind of surreal knowing that they are the people trying to kill us...all at an arms length away and nothing we can do about it. We have to have people willing to testify against them in order to roll them up...and no one will freakin testify for fear of their family getting hurt or killed.
I'm 90 days in...another 90 or so to go and hopefully I'll never have to come back to this forsaken place.
